Best Historic Restaurants in Washington DC

Wonderful Brunch! Coffee was exceptionally smooth and delicious as usual. The Pain Perdue (French Toast) was out of this world -- delicate with a hint of citrus and sweet as honey. Would make this one of my top recommendations for brunch in DC. The service was wonderfully prompt and not intrusive, and the dining room is vraiment francaise, soft pastels and classic decor. Always one of our favorites, Chez Billy Sud did not disappoint! Great for out of town guests too.

The beauty of Clyde's is that you know what to expect and you are never disappointed The food is always good to very good, the service is always excellent, the vibe is always upbeat and fun. Clyde's consistently meets expectations, and that is outstanding for a restaurant/bar.

The whole experience was fabulous. We made a reservation for nine and were seated promptly upon arrival by the wonderful hostesses. Our server was excellent, the drinks were amazing, and the FOOD. I literally cannot gush enough about the food. I got the ribeye and it was cooked flawlessly. Never understood what “melt in your mouth” was supposed to mean with steak until I bit into the most perfect bite of meat in the world. Juicy, flavorful, and paired with perfectly cooked kale and potatoes. I could have eaten three of them and wouldn’t have regretted a thing. There was no room for dessert on this visit, but I will DEFINITELY be back.

I had not been to the Tabard Inn in a while, but so glad we had lunch there today. Everyone from the host to the server was welcoming and nice. The food was delicious - I had a salad with grains, greens and squash that i topped with grilled shrimp and it was fabulous. I will definitely be back soon.

We loved our evening in the romantic, Christmas trimmed tavern style of room. It is a first choice for a family occasion and the celebration of our 30th wedding anniversary was no exception. We adored the main dish of the halibut with the brioche crust. Just sublime. The wait staff are very professional and the manager was also great to us…Highly recommend for your next fine dining occasion.
