The food was really good. It took a little while to get our food but we enjoyed the rest from our adventures. We had to sit in the middle area so we didn't get to enjoy the atmosphere of the original interior, but we were able to be seated immediately! Definitely a cool place to eat.

Best crabcake in DC. Had great oysters too! Great location, we saw police horses walking down the street and right next to white house. Was perfect spot after tour. Very neat decor inside. Got crowded very quick so would suggest going early. A must stop when in DC.

I had the pleasure of dining at Old Ebbitt Grill in DC, and I must say, it's a true gem! The upscale and inviting atmosphere sets the perfect tone for a memorable dining experience. The food is outstanding, with their oysters being an absolute highlight. The attentive and friendly service only adds to the enjoyment. What's even better is their late-night happy hour, a fantastic way to unwind after a day exploring the city. Old Ebbitt Grill has quickly become one of my favorite spots for both its delectable cuisine and its wonderful ambiance.

A lovely staple of DC, came for the oyster happy hour along for a nice mid day lunch. A lovely time, our waiter was fantastic. I loved the atmosphere of the restaurant. Our food was delicious, the dozen oysters were unbelievable tasty. Our entrees were delicious and plentiful. The chilli is a must ! Our drinks were refreshing. This is a must stop !

Everything was absolutely delicious! The fried zucchini had tons of flavor, crispy but not a thick heavy batter. The Parmesan crusted fish was perfect. Everything with seasoned well and cooked to perfection. Customer service was great. Atmosphere was amazing. We will definitely be back.

This was my favorite place the Well fleet oysters were the best and so delicious !!! I ended up going there three days in a row to get them my bartender Tod was amazing He was very professional, and a great guy. The they were generous with the muscles and the pasta was freshly made. The clam chowder and Maryland crab soup were also very satisfying. I love this place and would definitely come back again.

The atmosphere is really cool. We had a nice booth with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy. Shannon was our server and she was a lot of fun. We enjoyed a few cocktails, oysters, salmon and crab cake. The oysters were the best!

Probably one of our favorite spots to eat in DC for American fare. Always great table service and amazing food. You need to make reservations, as the pace gets packed pretty much anytime or day, between locals and tourists. Our wait yesterday was 0, because we made reservations on Open Table App. The seafood is always a table favorite, as are the salads, steaks and sandwiches. Really there isn’t any bad or mediocre dish to be found. The wings are so good as well. Alcoholic drinks are really good as well from the bar. You won’t be disappointed.
