    Overall it was a very elegant night out. Wonderful lobster bisque and crabcake. My husband’s surf and turf was beyond excellent; my sea bass didn’t quite hit the mark—death by chocolate was the saving grace. We were seated between 2 other couples on a bank— made conversation difficult—should have requested a table to have a more intimate feel. Our server couldn’t have done more to satisfy our needs. We will return, but be more conscious of seating next time.

    We had a wonderful experience from the time we sat down. Our waitress, Sarah, was pleasant and attentive. The mixed seafood appetizer exceeded our expectations, and our main courses were cooked to perfection. The entire experience was a solid 10!

    We had the best night at the Ebbitt Room! Our experience started with great drinks by Fletcher at the bar and carried through all the way to dessert. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. We felt like we were in a Hallmark movie with the snow falling outside! Great night. We already booked our next stay.

    The bar was a little loud. My 70 year old parents didn’t appreciate that while having a nice meal. But we really did enjoy our food.
