    Once again, Old Ebbitt Grill was great! Even though crowded due to Xmas, they were super organized and handled reservations well. The food, steak frites, stead salad, and bowl were perfect and the brownie sundae couldn't have been better. Our server Alexa made it even more fun with her efficiency and adept handling of the many things going around us.

    Husband lives rockfish bites. Blackened shrimp was great, as well as chili. Numerous drink specials. Kate, our waitress, was friendly and attentive.

    We had dinner on Thanksgiving and it was all very nice. Not crowded at all and the food was good. My salmon was a little overdone, but I take responsibility for that as I didn't specify medium rare and it was well done. Our waitress was outstanding.

    We went for Thanksgiving and everyone was so nice and kind! The food was delicious! We weren’t physically able to eat enough food for the price of each plate especially with the kid that eats like a toddler. Next time I will see if we can choose toddler for the ten year old lol. He did love everything but just nibbled as kids do sometimes. But I guess it was worth it since the husband played some slots and won enough to cover the bill! But everyone was absolutely amazing! So nice and helpful.

    The lone bartender trying to serve the entire place on her on on a busy weekend did an outstanding job. Management needs to schedule her help on weekends with multiple weddings.
