Best Lunch Restaurants in Foggy Bottom

This was our 2nd visit. We really enjoyed our first visit, so decided to return when in the area instead of trying out a new spot. Made last minute reservations and were seated quickly. There was a very off putting smell when waiting at the host table - couldn’t quite put my finger on what it was. Walked to our table hoping it wasn’t throughout the restaurant. We sat down and reviewed the menu. Waiter arrived and he was not super helpful in helping my parents who had never had been there choose a meal, which was frustrating for a restaurant of this caliber. Felt very rushed to make menu choices and without our questions being adequately answered. Food came out and was fine. Just the waiter ruined the experience.

Enjoyed coming back to Teddy & the Bully Bar. Great drinks and the food was excellent, particularly the mushroom pappardelle. Amazing service.

Beautiful experience from the friendly hosts, to the delightful server, to the food all of which was perfectly delicious. We ordered the skillet cornbread, spinach dip, vegetable sandwich, goat cheese burger and fried chicken sandwich. Absolutely no complaints and they got us in and out in a little over an hour so we made it to our event right on time.

Went for a dinner with friends and it was nice, food was good, just a tad loud.

Everything about our dinner here was 5-star! The food was delicious, the wine choice was outstanding, the service was attentive and helpful, and the ambiance was great. If you're a wine drinker, this is a fabulous restaurant to go to with an extensive list of wines from around the world. They also had a decent choice of cocktails. Everything from the appetizers to the main dishes and dessert was also delicious!
