    I am beyond impressed with this beautiful and enormous restaurant. I’m a very demanding foodie with culinary experiences in some of the best South Florida, NYC, and restaurants abroad. My taste buds were dancing when I cut into my New York Strip, what flavor! Perfectly cooked with a pink center and juicy. I’m heading back this weekend because my husband can’t miss out on this wonderful establishment. The customer service was just as pleasant and for the amount of people that were dining on a week day, I’m not sure how they managed, but they did! Kudos to the team for a memorable dinner!

    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!

    Our experience was outstanding! The service was impeccable. Laura our server was so sweet and attentive. The place was very busy yet the food came out very quickly. The GM Jeff runs a tight ship. He obviously cares about his guests. The mezzes were amazing. The octopus was my favorite. My husband. The desserts were special. The Galopotita was an experience to the taste buds! We also had the Greek yogurt and apricots. Worth the calories!
