Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Bowleys Quarters

Food was very good but portioned tapa style which we didn’t know going in so our bill was much higher than we were planning. Overall it was a nice experience but pricey.

Once again, Old Ebbitt Grill was great! Even though crowded due to Xmas, they were super organized and handled reservations well. The food, steak frites, stead salad, and bowl were perfect and the brownie sundae couldn't have been better. Our server Alexa made it even more fun with her efficiency and adept handling of the many things going around us.

What the heck. This place was quite the surprise. It blew us away. The food was surprisingly good. We ordered several different times, and each time the food came out fresh, hot, quickly, and looked like an artist put it together. The jumbo shrimp with cilantro goodness was amazing. Calamari better than it should have been. The service was amazing. The prices? Way too low. Happy hour prices are ridiculous. I mean so ridiculously low. I think maybe they just love people. I’m not sure. I’d make this my go to spot if I lived here.

Lots of extra little touches that made the dishes special: the foamy mignonette on the oysters, the crunchy bites and pickled mushrooms on the beef tartare. Pre-pandemic, table side dishes such as classic Caesar salad and duck a la presse were on the menu- we can understand not having them all the time, but hopefully they’re not gone for good.

The food was delicious. We bad the pear and ricotta bruschetta, bolognese and the pasta alla vodka. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff was attentive.
