    The food and service were outstanding. The food was done to perfection. The porch was a little drafty with the temperature and wind factor outside but the ambiance was great. Will return to the Ebbitt Room for our next special occasion.

    The ambiance and food were both great. The food was fresh and there were plenty of choices on the menu. A romantic spot that provided some heated outside seating. The service was great to start. As the place got busier, our sever would not be present. Causing us to wait a longer period of time to wrap up our night out. Not sure the reason why that happened. Seemed to be no flow with tables.
