Off the record, Hawk ’N’ Dove is basically a Washington monument. It reflects an older Washington that believed in politics, not just politicking. Hawk ’N’ Dove is where you can sip an Old Fashioned, hear political talk, and mingle with everyone from the black-suited, brown-shoed lobbyists, to the neighborhood folk that have been in this town since the Carter administration. Our beverages and food selections reflect our local support for this wonderful town, and if you use your imagination, you can almost hear the echo of past conversations from the most powerful people in the free world, spoken over gin and whiskey.

    Love the food and service, but i do wish the staff wasn’t as attentive because it felt like we were being pushed out. Logically, I understand; however, it’s difficult to have a meaningful conversation when there is someone asking to grab the leftovers every 5 mins or so…

    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.

    Took my wife here for her 30th birthday. Food was great as well as the service. They also had the Christmas decorations up which looked great. In and out in 90 minutes. Would definitely recommend and plan on going back when we come back to DC

    Absolutely one of the best dining experiences that I’ve ever had in Washington DC! The quality of the food, the ambience, the temperature of the lighting, all of the small details that have been thought of to create a warm and cozy environment exquisite! Everything about Butterworth’s is wonderful and it should be the main dining establishment for the city!

    We had a work holiday party for 10 people and everyone loved their food, service was great, and we could (mostly) hear each other across the tables. And it was a great value for DC.
