    Old Ebbitt Grill met all our expectations and then some! Jeremy our waiter, was absolutely fantastic! The scallops and salmon were fantastic, steak was the best we’ve ever had and the peanut butter pie blew us out of the water! We will be dining here again when we were in town. Jeremy and the staff were attentive, kind, funny and professional. Far exceeded our expectations!
