Restaurants near Saint Clements Island Potomac River Museum

I made reservations here for a Christmas brunch with my family and Wow! I am so happy I did! My family and I had a fabulous time and a fantastic brunch here at Old Ebbitt. Our server, Jasmine, gave excellent recommendations and was an incredible server. She was very warm and inviting, which is something we always look for. The french toast, chicken and waffles, eggs Benedict, crab and artichoke dip, and raw oysters were all top notch and delicious. From start to end, everything was perfect. This is where you want to have brunch in DC. Thank you, Old Ebbitt!

From the perfect martini all the way through to the espresso and canolli, it was a delightful evening. We were seated early and stayed late. The environment is so relaxing and the Il Picolo team was gracious and attentive. A great start to begin the holidays!

Philomena is a pillar in the DC community and for great reason. When you first walk down the, many steps, you enter your known as house. During the holiday season, the restaurant is decorated from head to toe with Christmas celebration. The staff are all extremely courteous and helpful And always dressed amazingly. The food is outstanding. All portions are large enough to share so get a few dishes and let your table enjoy old world Italian cuisine. Anything on the menu is a score in my book. But don’t forget always leave room for dessert. The cannoli are amazing!

We finally tried the pork shank and it was falling off the bone good! My husband had the seafood pot pie with puff pastry. I paired the shank with a Merlot and my husband had a martini. It was a nice, quiet, delicious holiday dinner.

Breakfast with Santa event was well received by the children and adults in our group. The food was good, the crafts for the children were outstanding and the Christmas decorations were beautiful!
