Just wanted to share my recent dining experience at Old Ebbitt. We had reservations for 9 an were seated promptly at 9 so the evening started off great. I was hoping we would be seated in the atrium but instead were given seats just inside the room with windows to the atrium. Little did I know I ended up in... More

Although the history is here and lots of people/energy, the menu is same as Clydes (except higher prices). Why not go to Clydes?

A very good, traditional american restaurant with a good menu, nice wines, a great atmosphere, good service and some great history due to it's proximity to the White House

The atmosphere lively, but due to the many different halls/rooms in the restaurant, it still maintains a somewhat private feel. The location is great and the decoration adds to the feel of its history as the oldest restaurant/bar in DC.
