About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
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.

    We ate outside on a lovely Sunday afternoon. The staff were attentive and the food arrived promptly. The only flaw is that a BLT should not be made with green tomatoes. The bacon and arugula were good but there was no discernible tomato flavor at all in the sandwich. One can't improve on the perfection of a ripe beefsteak tomato.

    The salad and grouper sandwich were tasty but did they run out of cheese or forget to put any in the Mac and cheese? No current cocktail menu. Is an espresso martini and a Black Russian the same? Out of desserts on menu. Waiter friendly but totally overwhelmed . Bartender was doubling as a server.

    They were out of a ton of stuff on the menu. Will not recommend this restaurant. The fact they say it business casual dress, is not true. It is really casual dress for sure.

    I had the burger and fries--both very good. I was disappointed with the cocktail offerings, however. Their cocktail menu was from last fall (I visited in May) and many of the drinks weren't even available. More disappointing was that they didn't have Fever Tree or an equivalent tonic water--just the crappy stuff they piped in. So I ended up with wine, which was fine but wasn't what I wanted.

    Went on a recommendation from a friend and was sad I'd taken her advice. Food was average in general, though a couple standouts (the split chicken and asparagus, the burger). The service was horrible, sadly, despite how nice the servers were. It took over an hour and three follow ups for two meals to come out. It took 20 minutes to get a last round of draft beers. It was a real disappointment unfortunately. Hopefully it was just the result of several staff members calling in, but if they had been communicated maybe it would have set our expectations better or at least made it seem less like no one cared.

    My guest from Australia LOVED this place. She tried a crabcake for the first time. The ambiance and decor were just what she wanted from a "Washington restaurant." We had a great time, and our server was just the right amount of attentive. Would go there again, and Highly Recommend.

    It took 30 mins for our order of pancakes for the kids. The side salad looked old and not edible. We sent back the salad but only 1 of 3 people who ordered the same dish got the fresher salad. We spoke to her manager who removed the kids orders but not happy with our experience. We are never going back again. The restaurant was empty at 11:30 on a Saturday and was not properly staffed.

    Everything was great but the kitchen was EXTREMELY slow. Waited an hour for our lunch. Our server was very nice and extremely apologetic. We felt badl for him because he was embarassed.

    Food only average and overpriced for what it was. Service was okay--a little slow, but it was busy.
