My partner and I went there for dinner last night for a restaurant week. It had probably been over a decade since I've been here, but after last night‘s dinner, I won't wait that long to go back. Everything we ate was excellent, and our server, Sarah, what's delightful. We were never left wanting for anything, and even got some bonus gift cards at the end to come back and enjoy some appetizers for another visit along with our gratis cookies to-go. This was above and beyond any of my expectations, and I highly recommend coming here for a special night, sitting in the dining room room, or even just a drink and some appetizers at the bar. 1789 serves old school, hunt club, cozy ambience, which was the perfect setting for a freezing cold night.

I've come to 1789 consistently 1-2 times a year for the last several years and each time it's better than I remember! The food was so tasty and the ambiance was a 10/10. I can't wait to come back again :)

We've been coming to 1789 for several years. It never ever disappoints. This visit was no exception. The greatest table. The greatest server. The greatest food. The greatest service. Every need was met including the finer details such as full water glasses, coat check and valet parking on a frigid night. Hats off to 1789. You always bring your solid “A” game. -bh

We haven't eaten at 1789 in many years. The food and service are still outstanding. The restaurant week menu was spectacular-basically let you sample their entire menu.

Wonderful experience in every aspect. Delicious food, exceptional service, enjoyable atmosphere all at a reasonable price.

We went to 1789 during restaurant week. We had a great time. Loved the dining room. Beautiful fire burning in the room. We were seated right next to the wait staff station so it was a little busier than I prefer, but the staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was good. I really enjoyed the trout - excellent! My husband got the mushroom risotto which was not as good for him, but I think it was personal taste. The bread, apps and dessert were great.

A fabulous meal. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. The restaurant is full of charm and character making for a wonderful experience.
Les
Personal and attentive service. Excellent choice of foods and wines. A perfect location to celebrate a friend's birthday.

Our server Tai was world class. The food is excellent and the service she provides is better. Thanks for a perfect evening.

Nothing but a great dinning experience from ambiance to food quality. Service was excellent! Our wait staff was extremely knowledgeable about every dish! I would highly recommend you experience this restaurant!
Not a great value for the price; wait staff too intrusive and "folksy" or nowhere to be seen; made it feel more like a diner than an upscale dining establishment; expected better preparation and ingredients for the price point; lighting could have been lower; couldn't wait to get out of there

We enjoyed a fabulous meal! My daughter's birthday was recognized from our amazing server, to the Happy Birthday note on the menu, to the special birthday treats at dessert. We enjoyed every second of a special day and dinner!

I 've been going to the ‘89 since I was a freshman at Georgetown in 1976. It continues to amaze me with its consistency and quality. I know there are a lot of wonderful options in DC, but you can never go wrong at the ‘89.

Overall the food quality was very good including some items not found at many restaurants like venison and Dover sole. Service was friendly and attentive. Ambiance was nice and relatively quiet, but the restaurant is not a value play.
