Great food and ambiance. Very pricey and sadly short pours on wines. Like to have a good sized glass of wine instead of just a couple of sips per glass.

The kitchen closing time was the only piece of info we felt was less than hospitable, as it was explained twice in a way that felt a little rude. The place was packed. It wasn’t as if we were the last table. But all of those feelings left us the moment our first course arrived. Every detail of every dish is near perfect. The drinks. The colors. The flavors. Outstanding.

This restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. We had fabulous before dinner cocktails, on their enclosed porch, which was just lovely. We were then led to a beautiful table next to the bar where we could hear the jazz player. The staff was impeccable and so incredibly nice. Our waitress, Kate Was just lovely and a big shout out to the restaurant manager, who was checking on everyone to make sure that everyone had what they needed - he was really incredible. However, the food was just OK. The prices and the food do not match at all, and the quality and portions are laughable. This establishment would be an A+ with a menu change, and a chef that perhaps used higher quality meats and seafood. I haven’t been here for a few years so I was disappointed that the food just was not the same. My last time eating here, our meals were delicious. However I still will go back just for the unbelievable ambience.

The food was very good, and the holiday decorations were tastefully executed. However, the overall service experience required significant improvement. While our primary server provided satisfactory service, the food runners exhibited a lack of professionalism and displayed a rudimentary manner of handling the plates and basically tossed them on the table. We had to initiate requests for pepper and water, which were delayed in their arrival. Additionally, the valet attendant was simultaneously stationed at the hotel front desk, resulting in a 15-minute wait for our vehicle. Due to these shortcomings, the overall dining experience was unfortunately overrated.

Christmas afternoon dinner at the Ebbitt Room was thoroughly wonderful! The festive cheery decor was welcoming and warm, as well as the live music and energetic staff. The food is exquisitely prepared and mouthwateringly delicious. I look forward to future special occasion celebrations at the Ebbitt Room in the Virginia Hotel.
