Had a great time at Old Ebbitt Grill! I got the hummus and falafel bowl which was fantastic and my husband enjoyed his Caesar salad. The staff was also very accommodating to my young children. I can’t wait to eat here again!

Great location for a special occasion or even just a regular meal. Service was outstanding and the food exceeding expectations. The Cauliflower steak is absolutely amazing! The Crabcakes are outstanding as well. The location is ideal. We booked our group as two separate parties - teens at one table and adults at the other. When the hostess realized this, she asked if we would like to be seated near each other and then made it happen. This was greatly appreciated!

Great service. Great food and drinks. Make sure you look up when looking for the entrance. I think we took two laps around the block before seeing the entrance.
