Restaurants near Theodore Roosevelt Bridge

I have eaten at this wonderful DC eatery for breakfast before and looked forward to today. Though the restaurant was very busy we were seated fifteen minutes early! Attentive waiter, for sure and plate of biscuits soon emerged. We then had to wait an hour and ten minutes for our brunch. As I was facing the street I could see many many outgoing orders fly out the door during our wait and it was obvious where the kitchen’s efforts went. Quite inexcusable. We had 2:15 hours before our train and we barely made it there in time. Did we eat? Yes; make our train, indeed but it didn’t have to be this way. 1:10 for French Toast and 3 egg dishes doesn’t have to take the time it did. Beware.

The selling points of this place are many: seasonal decorations, food is exceptional, and service is professional at the highest levels. Serving sizes are large for entrees, so be prepared for leftovers, or split a dish with another person. I like their rigatoni with red sauce and sausage a lot.

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.

Took my wife here for her 30th birthday. Food was great as well as the service. They also had the Christmas decorations up which looked great. In and out in 90 minutes. Would definitely recommend and plan on going back when we come back to DC
