No ambiance at all. Essentially in the lobby of a hotel. The pictures on Open Table look nothing like what I saw there. Understaffed. There were only two large parties there, but only one waiter and one bartender. Food took too long. Multiple things not available on the menu, like chicken. It was a bit disappointing.

It was supposed to be Mother’s day Brunch! They had a full bar but they were not serving drinks?!?!? They had a waffle maker but no one to make waffles! They had to find someone to make omlettes! There was no menu option, only buffet. Unpleasant experience

The place looked better than the food, completely mediocre, I would not come again. Tastes like school food, burgers are bland, the pork belly was horrible, the chili tasted absolutely absurd and the fries tasted like old grease. Do not waste your time here, overpriced for the quality of food. Service was terrible. The only good thing about this place was that the water didn’t taste like tap. 1/10

What a fun way to bring in the new year! Me and my partner waited until the last minute, of course to get a reservation anywhere else so I was surprised this place even had availability. It was a ghost town but the decorations were beautiful, the food was amazing and the grinch drinks were delicious. It was all such a nice surprise. We will be back again.

The photos and information available are completely deceiving. This restaurant is in the bottom of the Bethesdan Hotel and is more of a cafe, definitely not a restaurant. The Grinch Experience only consists of special menu items. They should be embarrassed.

Henry was a great bartender, despite serving numerous guests at once, he was calm, collected, and polite to everyone. He was incredibly receptive to our service needs, and went above and beyond.

Food and service were very good. I enjoyed the short rib quesadilla and chili, and my friend had a salad with steak. The lighting is a bit too bright for my liking but the decor is casual and relaxed.
