    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!

    The indian street food rivals any other Indian food in DC. The braised lamb shank was tender as butter and the Indian spices on the lamb were fragrant, balanced and delicious. The chicken in the butter chicken was tender and the sauce had a lot of umami! The deserts are the best Indian deserts I have ever had! This restaurant is definitely up for repeat

    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!
