Best Historic Restaurants in Rosslyn

Once again, Old Ebbitt Grill was great! Even though crowded due to Xmas, they were super organized and handled reservations well. The food, steak frites, stead salad, and bowl were perfect and the brownie sundae couldn't have been better. Our server Alexa made it even more fun with her efficiency and adept handling of the many things going around us.

From the moment we walked in, every one was welcoming. The atmosphere was relaxed with an old world feel. Our server Lindsay had great insights into the menu. The tuna crudo was fresh and not too spicy. Beets are my favorite and they were paired nicely with the melt in your mouth burrata. First time trying rockfish and the flavor was light with a flaky texture. My companion commented the duck breast was flavorful and tender. The drinks were spot on. The bananas foster was incredibly delectable. Not overly sweet. I am looking forward to coming back.

We had breakfast at the Tabard Inn because it looked like a unique hotel that I wanted to check out, and it was within walking distance from where I was staying. The hotel was charming and unique in its eclectic furnishings. The dining room was quiet. The breakfast was almost half what I paid at the Jefferson Hotel the day before and twice as good. I had eggs over easy. I asked for my bacon well done. It was cooked to perfection and one of the best orders of bacon I ever had. The biscuit and hash browns, which were more like roasted potatoes, were delicious. The service was attentive but not overbearing. I would return the next time I'm in DC.

Chez Billy Sud is a fantastic place to enjoy top shelf flavors. Very well done ladies and gentlemen....very well done!

I dined here as a solo diner and usually you wouldn’t get the best service because the servers want larger parties, but this was not the case here. Zach made sure I was taken care of. This is a rarity as someone who travels a lot alone and has experienced the bad end of dining alone. I’ve had a few friends and family dine here when they visited and loved it so I’m glad I was able to get the same experience they had as a solo diner.
