    We’ve been to 1789 several times over the last few years. Each dining experience was fabulous. Atmosphere is cozy with nice fireplace, yet elegant. Cocktails and wine list very good and appropriately priced. Appetizers and main courses are cooked to perfection and presented nicely. I had terrific pork chop, my wife had tasty halibut and my son had delicious lamb chops. Steak tartare and pasta starters very good. I must add, the service was impeccable, from the coat check to our waiter. We love this place - super special with wonderful memories of our son’s time at Georgetown Highly recommended!!

    Griffin was so helpful and recommended wine pairings and courses for us to try. He was very knowledgeable about the wines and answered all our questions. He wrote us a personal note congratulating us on our anniversary and engagement and really made the whole night very special. The food was very tasty and well worth the price. We both left stuffed and happy! Thanks for ringing in this new chapter with us.
