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.

Enjoyed our brunch experience here. The food options are plentiful and taste very good. Lots of options for different preferences. Make a reservation. The drinks are pretty expensive - I wish they had a bottomless or multiple option.
