About this restaurant

  • Great for brunch
  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
Gatsby is a reimagined American diner by KNEAD Hospitality + Design. With favorites like the famous monte cristo sandwich, fried chicken or today's blue plate special, Gatsby brings you back to the days of the diner, but from a fresh perspective. Whether you crave breakfast at any time of day or a smashburger & a milkshake, Gatsby is the perfect place. Located at the corner of Half and N Streets, directly in front of Nats Park's Centerfield Gate, and overlooking the ballpark from our second floor dining room, Gatsby is the perfect pre/post game venue from which to celebrate.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Gatsby offers "great food, drinks, and service" with a lively and inviting atmosphere. It's an ideal spot for pre-game meals or brunch with "bottomless cocktails." Standout menu items include "shrimp and grits" and "deviled eggs." While service can be inconsistent, the "friendly staff" enhances the overall dining experience.

    A little pricey, but nice setting and great vibes. Drinks are worth the 90 minutes bottomless drinking.

    The food is so good here. We had the smash burger and chicken and waffles. Love that the bottomless option is not just mimosas.

    Sadly they ran out of a lot of the popular food items during brunch. We opted for the bottomless option, however we could barely find the server to place our orders. It would take 15/20 minutes before the server returned to the table. So ultimately we did not receive the full value. We literally had to wave down a manager to receive service. The server wasn’t too friendly, and I never received one of the items that I ordered. Ultimately not a great experience for me.

    We had a great time at Gatsby. We made a reservation and were sat about 10 mins after our scheduled time. Our server was great, she was friendly and attentive. The food was really good and quick to come out. The women’s bathroom was gross and smelled awful- that was truly the only downside.

    We enjoyed brunch with a group of adults and kids split across two tables when we were in town for a volleyball tournament. There is a view of the nationals stadium, bottomless cocktails, great service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

    The waiter was so sweet. She was attentive and kind. I wanted a steak but they were out and she recommended the meatloaf which was fantastic. The atmosphere was amazing
