    Outstanding service. We appreciated the description of all the courses, the ingredients and those not to be overlooked. to be missed. First off, I noticed that the server noted in writing my "deadly" allergy to oysters. The Thanksgiving special tastings was inspired so we now look forward to a "school night" dinner. Oh ! an easy to converse rooms, but maybe someone could fine-tune the play list..... Maybe a task with so many generations, from infants to elders, in the room. DMM

    This was phenomenal, my wife and I had to stay in town for thanksgiving and needed a pick me up the day before. This did not disappoint, reminded me of eating my Spanish grandmothers food. Paella was phenomenal, I am so glad we opted for the Premium Prawn Rice, it was very umami and so authentic. It was an absolutely beautiful experience, the food was delicious and beautiful, very thoughtful portions, we left full but not overly stuffed. The staff was polite, professional and funny. We will absolutely return and strongly recommend.

    It's been many years since I've been to the Tabard Inn, so long ago that I was living in Dupont on Riggs Place. It was low key and funky and much smaller. The present version is very different but equally enjoyable. Larger, still good food, but more space and fewer distractions. A great place to meet for breakfast and escape from the bustling of one of Washington's friendliest circles.

    Two Michelin stars, so the price is what you would expect of such status. Staff, service, ambiance, and food are all impeccable. Went there with my wife for our anniversary and although there is not a place for a candlelit dinner, the staff did their best to accommodate us with crafted dessert items with simulated candles in the bar/dessert lounge. Thank you to Eric, Kinga, and Andrew for making the night even more spectacular. Will definitely return when I’m back in the states.
