For an escape from mobile phone service visit the back bar. No AT&T signal.
Jorge MaiaMarch 17Nice but the chicken is undercooked… the waitress and manager said: it looks like undercooked, it is pink and everybody think it is undercooked, but it is not. Never come back :(
Go for the Orca Platter. Half off between 3-6pm and after 11pm except Fri & Sat.
No politics at the bar. Seriously. It's not allowed.
Ken ColburnSeptember 13, 2010Bypass the crowds waiting out front and walk to the back bar & let Rick tell you which specials to order!
Shanda McGowenJune 18, 2015Dined @ The Old Ebbitt Grill and was highly disappointed. A lot of hype, nice atmosphere but not worth the price tag. Historic building does not mean a 5 star meal.
Janice LeahNovember 4, 2010Good food...try the Dijon-crusted chicken breast with mushroom bread pudding. Yum!
Walter WhitakerMay 27, 2014Went for breakfast. average at best but nice atmosphere and loaded with history
Christina PoonApril 29, 2013Oyster happy hour is the best deal in town. Sit at the bar and pray Joe is your bartender. He's the best. He really made us feel welcome. We'll definitely be back here next time we're in DC.
Katie ShaverNovember 4, 2011Make a reservation on OpenTable - we did on the way over, and everyone else is waiting 40 minutes!
Jon HodgsonAugust 30, 2010The "Starr Hill Northern Lights IPA" is a no-foreplay IPA. It goes straight to the bitter with no fruity before.

NathashaMarch 20, 2010Check out their late-night happy hour. Mon-Thurs, 11pm-1am. Order the "Orca Platter". Amazing.
DermokichwaOctober 31, 2010The kitchen is super fast! Sit at the bar for lunch, hope for Steve, tip well!
Back bar. See Margaret Ann. Best whole lobster deal in town.
Michael IveyAugust 4, 2010Vegetarians: veggie linguine, and any burger can be a boca. Lots of fish if you do that.
