Nice and classy place . Personally I like knowing the history of the place, such as all the presidents who've eaten there.

Try the Welsh Rarebit - a cheddar sauce enriched with lager and spices. Enjoy it as an appetizer or order it with the Martin’s Delight, the house version of a Hot Brown . Via City Eats.com Read more

Delicious! Get the crab cakes . The steak salad was good but average. Don't miss the booth where JFK proposed to Jackie!

The oysters in the oyster stew were the best I've ever had. Brunch served every day and, like everyone else has said, full of history. What's not to like?!

Dawn R

The atmosphere is intimate and warm. Patrons enter via leaded glass doors into a dining room steeped in tradition. Dark wood paneling features plaques marking the favorite booths of famous senators.

Christopher Floss

Enrique

The burger was amazing and I enjoyed the Ambassador Cocktail . Great service and atmosphere!

Saeed

tavern burger with avocado & bacon was tasty ???? but the chicken sandwich was not so good. prices are little bit high, service was slow and at the end they told us we can not split the check☹️????????

Tiny J

Everything is great, but especially love the chowder . Excellent bartender and staff , be sure to make a reservation .

John Dickson

Truly just a fantastic restaurant with wonderful historical value and superb staff who will share stories.

Derek Fromson

This nostalgic tavern is cramped and crowded , with decent comfy food but mediocre service. Kids options if you ask, but not conducive for tots . Try salmon salad , seared tuna salad , burger or meatloaf .

Matt Small

Social distancing and other COVID-19 practices are excellent. Food and atmosphere are comforting. Service is top notch.

Peter Blumberg

Burgers and sandwiches (French Dip etc) are excellent. Festive atmosphere especially during the holidays.

Karen Toxtle

I love the food amazing with all@the explanation from one of the owners. Great place

Michael Jenkins

If you don't like a place with this much history, move to a local forest .

Behrad Eats

Order the great pesto-crusted lamb pops.

Close Gitmo

Jan 11(right now!): the National Day of Action Against Guantanamo & the NDAA! Join us at 1130 in Lafayette Square across from the White House. The program and march will run from Noon-2:30pm EST

John Booth

Like stepping back in time. Decent, hearty pub grub at a reasonable price.

Tim Bradshaw

The Presidents ' favourite booths : 1 for Kennedy, 2 for Nixon, 3 for where JFK proposed to Jackie, 6 for Truman, 24 in the Dugout for LBJ.

Summer Hoya

The restaurant where JFK proposed to Jackie O. Second booth on the right. Bonus points if you're able to get a picture sitting there!

Anna John

Brunch for me on the weekends until 4pm and plenty of outdoor seating , so tourists on Wisconsin Ave can pet my dog.

Rich Gallagher

Have a beer where every sitting U.S. President has patronized since Truman. On one of JFK's visits, he proposed to Jackie in one of the booths .

Pablo Aymerich

Some small things kept it from being great. One was a weird smell in the area they placed us which was the absolute back of the restaurant . the fries that came with my burger tasted cold and soggy

Audrey A

EXCELLENT bar service ! Get to know Damon and John; they'll definitely take care of you!

Bryan

The burger and prime rib were fantastic

Amy Cummings

The perfect cozy bar for a cold-weather pint.

Isa Lara

Their crab cakes are perfect & the steak salad is surprisingly good.

Diane Luong

Great service and history... don't miss it while you're in town

Jameson Huckaba

Awesome old-school feel, and the oldest family-owned restaurant in DC.

LaTisha

The BEST hot cocoa w/ extra cream!

Taylor Widman

Hot brown and Brussels are awesome!

Andrew Roszak

Booth two on the right is the Nixon booth . Booth three is where JFK proposed to Jackie

Angelina Zeppieri

fun place for lunch in Georgetown. sit in the JFK booth !

Samantha Dredge

As Bennett R. put it, the Hot Brown is a deli delight on steroids. For brunch , add a fried egg on top to take it one step further...

Майя Баклан

Very local bar with good dishes

Emil Caillaux

Ask to be seated in Islam's or Solomon's section. They will take excellent care of you.

Rob

Had the pork chop . Could not have been better. Ate outside and enjoyed the neighborhood

Didi Marie

The crab cakes are the way to go!

Philip T

Food was okay, would recommend checking out the history, see where the presidents like to sit, then go to the bar have a drink and eat somewhere else.

Jen Burch McEvoy

Aniko the bartender...amazing!! One of the best I've seen!!

Amalia Vapheas

Good atmosphere, good food

Pat Dengler

Don't order crab cakes ; fishy and shell bits left inside. Waste of $30. Burger is ok, med was a little dry. Greasy onion rings . Ambiance is awesome. Great place to come for the history, not the food.

Paul Ogburn

Great food even the holiday specials.

Patty Rodriguez

Try the oyster stew , rich but delicious!

Didi Marie

The crab cakes never disappoint.

Omar al-D ????????

Good breakfast menu !

B Rabbitt

If you like lamb dishes , try the shepard's pie . Absolutely delicious!

Mandy Fatemi

A truly American establishment. Classic choice would be meatloaf .

Bobbie Chipman

Delicious puff pastry Monte Cristo
