Restaurants near Haycock Longfellow Park

I think my overall feeling about J. Gilbert McLean is gratitude. In stark contrast to a trendy (former) favorite restaurant in the District where we dined the night before, we were welcomed with warmth, shown to a comfortable fireside table, enjoyed enough privacy to enjoy our conversation without being jostled, were taken care of by a conscientious , competent and endearing server, and enjoyed excellent quality food and drink meticulously (if not wildly inventively) prepared that arrived promptly and at a comfortable cadence. A relaxing, satisfying, gratifying meal and environment for those more interested in each other than in a trendy scene. We felt valued and well cared for, which is exactly what we needed after an opposite experience elsewhere!

We had an absolutely wonderful time. Lea, was the best server we’ve ever had. The food was great. I went with the brisket and ribs, along with Mac and cheese and brussel sprouts. My wife had a smash burger. The ribs were among the best I ever had.

From the beginning, service was very professional, efficient and courteous. The food was AMAZING!!! One word to change your life: Salted Caramel Cheesecake. An experience all on its own. Definitely on our rotation! So many choices to try! We will be back VERY soon.

My coworkers and I had an amazing Christmas dinner at Eddie Vs. Our server Roger was knowledgeable and so friendly to us! The whole experience was elegant and proper. Would be coming back soon!!!

The people who work at Ometeo are so nice and the food is always delicious. We just popped in for lunch and couldn’t have been happier with our steak tacos.
