OLD EBBITT GRILL REVIEWS
CRAB BENEDICT WAS TO DIE FOR! And so was the lobster dip! Both were excellent. So much meat in there & not too much breading. A lot of people don’t make crab Benedict correctly. My husband and I both came here for brunch & sat at the corner bar after being told the wait was going to be an hour. Service was *okay* but the food made up For it hands down. It was super expensive—we didn’t get desert or drinks (only water) and we still paid $100 after tax/tip. They take allergies really seriously so don’t be afraid if you are allergic.
Super great dining experience in the heart of DC. The dining room felt like it was right out of 1922 with beautiful wood everywhere, marble floors, and old paintings everywhere. The food was incredible in case you were wondering. We ordered two filets with whipped potatoes, clam chowder, and the chocolate brownie sundae. All of it was absolutely amazing. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, mine being medium rare and my wife’s medium. They have two bars but I believe there are three. (Don’t quote me on that) 10/10 will eat there again.
Sat at the bar because tables weren't available, so glad we did though! Great bar staff and the food was really delicious. Our group of four shared a dozen oysters (some of the best I've had!) Some of us ordered the bloody Maryland which was so good. I was so glad someone recommended this spot. A local gentleman sat next to us and chatted with us which added to the experience. Highly recommend!

FOUNDING FARMERS REVIEWS
We had a fabulous experience here. It's a very fun atmosphere and the food was delicious. I had the crazy corn chicken salad and it might be my most favorite salad ever. My husband had the southwest chicken salad and my daughter had the chicken and waffles. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Our waitress, Camilla, was fantastic and has a great personality. Everyone working there seemed like they were having a good time.
What a gem! The food, the ambiance and the service were all phenomenal. The food quality was fresh and extremely flavorful. We ordered a portion of their homemade biscuits and mimosas to start off. My husband then ordered brioche French Toast, which was to die for! I ordered their eggs Benedict with a side of fruit. The food was so good that we returned for dinner the same day.
Really fresh, delicious breakfast! We tried the waffle, pancake, and egg scramble. Obviously made in house - really delicious. Pancakes and waffles were exceptional. Egg scramble was very savory. The coffee is way better than your average breakfast place. Service was quick and friendly. Recommended!

BLUE DUCK TAVERN REVIEWS
Came to DC for the cherry blossoms and to celebrate our anniversary. So glad we were able to get a reservation on a Saturday night. We loved everything we ordered, the beef rib was so flavorful but tender, the striped bass is light but fresh and the texture of the fish was so soft, the side order of cauliflower has great flavor and with a crispy outside, almost greens beans blended really well with the mushroom. We also got an apple pie as dessert, the pie crust is extremely thin but flaky, the apple filling is tangy but remains a very good texture (not overly soft). We couldn't finish it so took it back to our hotel and ate it the next morning, it still tasted really good! The whole experience sitting right in front of the open kitchen was really cool, we were able to see the chef dedicatedly finishing every dish before serving it. We really enjoyed our visit at the Blue Duck Tavern and we're impressed by the quality of each dish here.
Blue Duck Tavern in the Park Hyatt is an amazing dining experience. The ambience and the service match the excellent cocktails, wine, and cuisine. You truly get what you pay for and you do pay don’t get me wrong but WoW everything tastes excellent and the service team’s attention to detail elevates the experience. The bone marrow and the duck were my favourite dishes to name a couple. Intriguingly delicious was their house bread with olives! Excellent dining experience that is worth the price. Cheers.
Both the breakfast and dinner were excellent. While we regrettably had to cancel our dinner reservation one night, they allow for you to order via room service, which we opted to do instead. It arrived quickly and piping hot. The crab cakes were delicious, as was the braised beef rib. We regrettably didn't get any pictures of those because we ate them too quickly! When we did eat in the restaurant, the staff were all very friendly and provided quick, attentive service. I have heard their brunch is great, we will have to stop by and check it out!
