The restaurant was beautiful, the food was very delicious and the service was excellent. But mid-way through the meal, a DJ started playing very loud music. It was so loud that my dining companion and I had to lean across the table to hear each other. If you like extremely loud music during brunch, the the Dirty Habit is the place to go.

I booked for my birthday and the service was wonderful. I had a party of 10 and the manager was so nice to move us all together! Definitely going back and the food was 10/10!

Great food and drinks. The menu was a bit limited but the options offered a range of things. Had not been in awhile so was left wanting more from the selection and the pricing.

If I could, I would give a rating of 4.5 stars. I met a friend for brunch on 10/26. We had the bourbon biscuits, salmon burger, hamburger, cosmopolitan and "Melon In Between" cocktail. Good food, good cocktails and the DJ was on fire! For a rating of five stars, let's turn the volume down on the music just a tad and speed up service. With a reservation, I still had to wait for a table and felt abandoned by the hostess while waiting. Others eventually noticed that I was standing at the wrong entrance (first time there) and jumped in for the assist, so all was well. Thanks for a great afternoon!

An amazing experience. This was only my second time visiting Dirty Habit. The dinner was immaculate. The complimentary churros for my birthday were also great!

One of my favorite brunch spots in dc. Great music, great vibes & the bartender Mediombo is the best

Very disappointing experience from start to finish. The hostess was cold and unfriendly which immediately set a negative tone. After being seated, I waited about 20 minutes without anyone approaching the table and had to ask for service myself. When server arrived, she was equally disengaged and offered little in the way of hospitality. Even appeared that she was volunteered-told to serve my table as she appeared over worked. Unfortunately, the food didn't help as several items were burnt and lacked flavor. Overall, the combination of an unwelcoming greeting, long wait with no service, inattentive staff, and poorly prepared food made this a terrible experience.

Absolutely amazing! The waiter was the best and the food was perfect. I will dine here again! The salmon and truffle fries were worth the trip.

Went to Dirty Habit DC and honestly, it was a disappointment from start to finish. The hostess greeted us with a stank face and zero professionalism felt like we were inconveniencing her just by showing up. Then, instead of being offered normal water, we were given hot water at the table. No menu for drinks other than alcohol, which made it clear they don’t care to accommodate everyone.
The food? The chicken came out undercooked, which is completely unacceptable. The waffle ended up being the best part of the meal, which says a lot. Only highlight was the pineapple juice refreshing and actually done right.
For a place that markets itself as upscale, the service and quality were way below average. Definitely not rushing back.

Food was just okay, but I cannot stress how upset we were with our server. Would be willing to give it another go because the vibes were there
I had a fantastic time at Dirty Habit! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was stylish and inviting—with just the right mix of modern décor and cozy lighting. The staff were friendly, attentive, and always seemed to anticipate what I needed before I asked.
The drinks were excellent—creative, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. I especially enjoyed [insert favorite cocktail or drink here]; it hit the perfect note. Their food menu was equally impressive. Every dish I tried was flavorful and fresh; you can tell they put care into both ingredients and presentation.
It’s a great spot for a date night or a classy evening out with friends. The music wasn’t overpowering, so you could still have a good conversation. Prices were fair given the quality and ambiance. I'll definitely be back next time I’m in DC!

Ciáo, I am fancy here mmm yes. They made quite fantastic drinks yes, and had tiny raisins alongside to satisfy the pallet. The cups were, as expected, quite enjoyable. Cheers

Came for a Saturday brunch. The steak and eggs were amazing. Short rib hash was good, croissants were warm and yummy. If your staying at the Monaco I recommend breakfast here.

We had the 3 course dinner. The food was very good, the portions were very small and no bread for the table. This was one of our most expensive dinners in DC and our least enjoyable. We stayed in the hotel 7 nights and didn't return. They were out of items needed for their signature cocktails. Expected better from a Kimpton Hotel.

Firstly, we saw a mouse in the restaurant come from underneath the booths as we were ending our meals. Secondly, the food was not the best and certainly not worth the price. The salmon was well cooked but the sauce that it was in was questionable. The chicken was a bit dry but not terrible. There definitely wasn’t enough risotto on the plate as compared to the five pieces of chicken.
Again, there was a mouse in the restaurant. That’s when we just got up from our seats and got out.
