Best Historic Restaurants in College Park

Wow, as advertised, great host, server, manager!!!! The food we ordered was all superb!!! Crab cake to start, wife ordered the meatloaf, I had the short rib stroganoff. We had reservations and thankful we thought ahead, the 1330 lunch rush was visible on the weekend. I ordered a bloody mary, only portion of the meal which I thought lacked attention. Manager passed by the table and was very nice!!! Thank you for the Carrot cake, it was phenomenal. Highly would recommend and glad we came!!!

We had a celebratory anniversary dinner at the Tabard - which was outstanding in every way. First, we were seated promptly and in the quiet corner we had requested. Secondly, the place simply drips with a warm and comforting atmosphere. Thirdly, our server was friendly and super attentive. Fourth, the manager came over twice to make sure all was OK. Fifth, to help us celebrate bubbly and super delicious limoncello arrived on the house. Sixth, our food was simply delicious - frisee salad, hangar steak, rockfish, a side of carrots, bread with mushroom butter, and earl grey creme brulee - all super tasty and beautifully plated and served. This was not inexpensive but was a superb value for the money. We were visiting Washington - if we lived here we'd be regulars!

Thoroughly enjoyable experience. From the friendliness of the staff to the ambience to the food. Made our anniversary meal a great experience. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks to the Iron Gate for a memorable event.

Was such a wonderful night. The restaurant was full but not so loud that you could not enjoy the conversation with your group. The food was outstanding. We could not stop talking about how cool it was that all of the ingredients came from the mid-Atlantic part of the USA. Service was wonderful. Cannot wait to go back again!

It was the kind of place you’d like to go and get what you paid for. I loved it and my wife loved it. We are thankful for such a great service. Definitely a place to go back.
