Honestly, for a hotel restaurant, this is easily one of the better ones that I’ve been to.All of their food is really high-quality and made with care. And surprisingly, their prices are reasonable.I highly recommend the pan seared salmon as the salmon is super crispy, while the curry and noodles make an excellent dish. The shredded papaya salad on top gives a nice acidity and crunch to the entire dish and brings it together.I also really enjoyed their apple dessert that has a cookie, apple, mousse, and two or three other variations of apple to go onto the dessert.

Menu was small and disappointing for such a big hotel. Very limited options and food overall wasn't amazing. My salad had partially frozen things in it. Seats were uncomfortable and it seemed dated in there. It was a business meeting and usually hotel restaurants are pretty great. I'll skip it next time I'm there.

This is a nice evening option while staying at the JW. While here for a few days, we tried the Tea & Biscuits and the PB&J desert, both were tasty and got the job done after a long day. Cocktails, are offered in an elevated variety and if you're a top shelf enjoyer you're all set. It's easy to find a table or a spot at the bar, and offers a comfortable blend of cozy, but easy going (without seeming boring). This hotel, and bar do however need a design update as the aesthetic is aging. Customer Experience is where the big win is though; our mixologist Fitsum offered us not just a warm and friendly environment, but also made us feel at home in a way not often seen. It's not every day you meet someone at a hotel or bar that remembers you, or is genuinely interested in making sure you're happy. Kudos to Fistum, the hotel should take note, and promote her to manage hotel experience!

Delicious w excellent service, delicious food & great local beer on tap. Met a buddy for drinks & dinner, we sat at the bar. Service is excellent & they serve a great mix to you when you sit down. The local hazy is fantastic! We each had the burger and it was great - perfectly cooked and perfect size. Bar has great ambience & is a comfortable place to have drinks, dinner & a chat. It's so much better than the JW! It's a shame the JW doesn't learn from them about service!!

Stayed at the JW and came to eat here twice once with our kids then with a group of almost 20. I’ll start with our family dinner we all ordered burgers with fries and 2 pretzel appetizers. Food came fast they brought appetizers with both kids meals. They were great my picky eaters enjoyed it. Our 3 dinners were not. My meal came good except they used wrong cheese and covered it up with the right one but my daughter and husband’s burger came bloody. Sent them back to the kitchen my husband said he didn’t want it so Manager came and comped us 1 meal which was nice but my daughter’s burger was still wrong. After sitting in the lobby my daughter went to the room with a bad stomach ache.Later that night we went with a group and honestly we wouldn’t have came back if it wasn’t so cold and late. Sever for our group was not so good and that’s the nicest way to put it. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table which were all good. Overall most liked their meals but burgers were still coming undercooked. I’m not sure if they were having some issues or not but that’s twice in a day. Desserts were good only with we got utensils when they were served. All the kids liked their meals and no issues with them.Menu is very limited also it’s more dinks than food. Ambiance was good. They are super strict on kids meals they said no to one of the kids in our group because they weren’t under 12. Which blew my mind because I’ve never seen a restaurant have a server tell the guest they can’t order off the kids menu.I could deal with all the mess ups and undercooked food but telling a guest they couldn’t get a kids meal definitely made me say never again.

Staff alone make this place 5/5! While staying at the JW I stopped in because they offered dining credit. I had excellent service from Fitsum, Heather, and Jaime on my 2 nights I stopped. (Plus a couple of other people that I didn't get names). The team worked well together when it got crowded. Sometimes hotel guests can be rude at bars/restaurants, but people were treating staff well too. Staff treated guests with respect and even said welcome back! I also saw the manager really engaging with her staff, making cocktails, and running drinks to support her team. I did feel that the food menu was a little lacking. The burger was a little greasy. They give you complimentary spicy peanut mix.

Got the PB & J and Chai Crème brûlée desserts. We thought the desserts were decent but the service was great.Another bonus was being able to use JW Marriott daily food credit.

Came here with my friend to have a few drinks and watch some of the football game they put on for Sunday. Heather was our bartender and made it a super enjoyable experience. Excellent service, super friendly, and had great conversations about trips to Turks and Caicos. Gave great recommendations for a future trip out there.

Ordered a chicken sandwich tonight (11/8) which took a little longer than expected. I asked one of the bartenders to check on it for me even though she wasn’t the one that originally helped me which I appreciated very much. The original bartender finally came back and asked if I complained about the food which I did not, I was simply asking where it was. I did not appreciate being confronted like that by the original bartender, name started with an F. Not sure of the name. Very confrontational and rude if you ask me.

Nestled in the well of the JW Marriott is the hotel bar. It is a well stocked bar with a well selected wine list and local drafts, and well rounded menu.The cuisine is of the sharable small plate variety, where you might be tempted to share with yourself. The seating is a mix of high tops and lounges, never far from. A TV, while still maintaing the feel of an old Georgetown Brownstones library without the cigars.
We ate here a couple of times during our stay. Typical bar food menu. We had the bartender as our waiter the first time and service/food were great. The second time, we ate on the table side where we had a very unattentive waitress. Had to track her down several times to place order and get drink refills.

Came here after a work seminar. Firs let me say that Jamie the bartender (mixologist) absolutely killed it. He served me THE tastiest drink The Late Night Cap. Even with an overloaded bar,noone waited more that 2 minfpr a drink. I then had my wife order food. The Buffalo chicken sandwich was delicious but the 1331 burger was AMAZING! Not going to lie but i didn't expect it to be so good with them being that busy...Shout out to Jamie and all the staff tonight for amazing service,drinks,and food!

Service was good, food was ordinary hotel food. The restaurant decor and atmosphere was typical of a hotel "place to eat." It was fine for the purpose of a timely and efficient breakfast.
