The food and service were great but our overall experience could have been much improved. The hostess who showed us to our table simply nodded toward a very small table for two stating "You will be sitting here!" while hurrying off saying "I'll bring you some bread!" The table was located in a narrow hallway area adjacent to the main dining room. Two other couples who also had reservations for 5 PM, as we did, entered the restaurant at the same time as we did, one ahead of us and one behind. Both were shown to much larger and nicer tables in the dining room which was largely empty since they had just opened for the evening. We felt like second class citizens on our first visit to the Wash House and at this point, it is doubtful that we will ever return even though our meals were outstanding and our server Derek did a great job. We are new to the area and had heard great things about the restaurant but were truly disappointed overall!

The food was excellent. It took about 10 minutes to get waited on. But the manager was excellent and so was the food. The server was good too, I just think he had too many tables.

Our dinner was excellent from start to finish! We had an excellent waitress, Mattie, who took care of every need. Our dinner was superb! We had the Red Snapper special and topped our meal off with the Key Lime Bread Pudding. Everything about The Wash House is excellent. We are never disappointed! Thanks to the entire staff for a wonderful evening!

My favorite night to go to this restaurant is on Sunday! I get to sit at the bar and have great service from Becca and the whole team there. Everyone from Wyatt and the people that greet you for your reservation, they really care for you being there and it’s a great experience overall. Not to mention the food is fantastic! You will love this place.

Very busy Saturday night but seated quickly. Derek greeted us in a timely fashion and timed service very well. Explained specials and delivered salads and drinks Main dishes were excellent with nice portions and all 4 meals exceeded expectations. Only one dessert but we shared. A wonderful evening.
