It’s a restaurant in a hotel. A nice hotel and fair restaurant but not fine dining. The service and food were both average. They were fine.

A mixed review. We went for Valentine’s Day dinner. There was a preset menu, the food was exquisite. The service was slow due to the bar and kitchen being backed up. The view of downtown Washington DC was wonderful. We will come back, not on Valentine’s Day and try other options from the menu.

Thanks for visiting us, Nathaniel. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our Valentine's Day offering. We apologize for the delay in service you experienced. We will share your feedback with the rest of the team and hope we can exceed your expectations the next time you visit us here at Estuary!!
