    Joe's is a family favorite because not only is it reliable and consistently good food but the service and staff are wonderful. Many have been there since it's opening which is especially nice for those of us that like to go often. It is great for business lunches as well and family celebrations and date nights.

    The overall experience of the Hamilton was amazing. Several of our party have food allergies and they accommodated all of us. The food was amazing. Alexandra our server was the best server we encountered all week in DC and the Hamilton is our favorite restaurant. The standouts were the “boots with the fur” cocktail, sweet potato hummus, all out entrees, and the bread pudding and apple galette. Highly recommend!

    This was probably the best experience I’ve had at Old Ebbitt Grill. We got seated in the bar area, which was warm and comforting on a cold, snowy night. Our waiter was awesome…incredible competent with just the right amount of sass. The food was amazing…everything we ate was delicious. And the company was wonderful. I can’t wait for others to come into town to take them here.

    It’s always a delight to dine at the Bombay Club. The food is excellent and the service is attentive without being intrusive. And to top it off, noise control is excellent which made it easy to hear my dining companions.
