I’ve been here twice, and each time I booked in advance, Since they are usually very busy, even it was an early time for dinner. The oysters are the must order dishes???? The fried calamari is my favorite. The steak was really good, juicy and tender. But the side egg was not good… taste like rubber ???? But the overall experience was really good. I would recommend to my friends. 食物跟服務都很好，生蠔是必點的！炸魷魚圈份量很足
I am one who loves to visit restaurants that have longevity in their cities, and Old Ebbitt Grill is definitely one that has stood the test of time since opening in 1856. I recently dined here over the extended 4th of July holiday, and as soon as I walked in, I immediately loved the overall vibe of this restaurant. The host was warm and welcoming, and my server Scott was friendly and attentive throughout my meal. I ordered the Maryland Crab Soup and the Trout Parmesan, and both were delicious. The soup was flavorful, and the Trout had a nice crunchy breading. Cocktails here are great as well. I definitely recommend checking this place out, and I will most certainly come back in the future.
Oh Old Ebbitt, how I love thee and can't believe I have not reviewed you until now. So I have lived in the DC area for almost 7 years and am a fairly regular patron of Old Ebbitt. This is where I take my friends and family from out of town when they want to visit downtown DC. It is also a place my husband and I enjoy for brunch. The crab cakes and oysters at Old Ebbitt are really worth the trip and the heritage of this building just places the restaurant over the top for reasons to go. Definitely make a reservation; so you are not waiting for 45 minutes to an hour plus for a table. The restaurant is really large for typical DC dining, but I still highly recommend a reservation. There is a main dining room and a corner bar...also atrium seating for overflow. I have dined in both the main dining room and the corner bar multiple times. The staff are always super friendly and make sure you have everything you need. Brunch is probably my favorite, but the menu is extensive; so you
