I stayed at the Hilton for 5 days and ate here almost every night. It's super convenient and a has a very chill vibe. Great variety on the menu. Staff was attentive and friendly (even with my 2yo ) The braised short rib tacos were a good size filled with tender braised short rib. The chicken caprese sandwich was a good size as well. Very filling. And a pretty neutral dish. The pasta was good and flavorful. I added chicken to mine. Again-generous portions. The salmon was perfectly cooked and paired well with the veggies and rice.

Great service, drinks. Wings are good!Maybe don’t order the steak. My last night here I ordered the NY steak medium rare. First one came out cold and bloody. They offered to remake it and sent another out medium well (nearly no pink in the middle). They felt really bad but I wasn’t waiting for a third.That said, I’d be back for drinks or wings.

Our friends were in town for the weekend and we stopped in here for a quick bite. We started off sitting at the bar, and tried their old fashioned's. I tried the apple cider and my boyfriend went for the cherry, both were tasty and made very well. There's ample seating and there's a ton of photo ops, including a sexy fireplace! Our servers were quick and helpful, we got a chance to talk with one of the managers and he kept us informed about their upcoming events. I'd definitely like to come back for dinner and try out some of their specialties.

Very convenient if your staying at the hotel. Great food but a smidge pricey. All in all I would say it's a great alternative when the weather is nasty outside and the kids want a snack.

The alcohol is good. The food is ok. The service is questionable. The breakfast in the back is good but very spendy.

Great food and great service. I ate a lentil curry dish. That was absolutely amazing and did not have any rice only Vegetables and lentils. My friend had the rotisserie chicken with mashed potatoes and asparagus. She said it was delicious. The food was beyond amazing. I had the best salad I think I've ever eaten in my entire life called L'Enfant Salad $15.00 Local Spring Greens Dressed with Sherry Vinaigrette, Shaved Fennel, Grapes, Tiny Tomatoes, Black Olives, Toasted Pepitas I couldn't do the vinaigrette due to mini allergies so I asked for a balsamic vinegar and olive oil. That way there was kind enough to bring me an amazing, thick, delicious, balsamic vinegar with it.

Dont usually do hotel restaurants unless I'm desperate, but I was pleasantly surprised! Ordered the pizza here, and it was quite good. It was actually better than some that I've had at an actual pizza place. I would definitely eat here again.

This is not a "destination" bar/restaurant. It's an "I'm staying at the Hilton, and there's nothing right around it" bar/restaurant. That being said, it's decent. Overpriced of course. But the quality of the food and drinks is pretty good. Service friendly. We sat at the bar a couple times for dinner and drinks. The first night I tried the Maryland Crab Bisque ($14) which was more like Crab Broth with a few precious pieces of crab and three thin small slices of garlic baguette. (In other words, I was still starving). So I ordered the L'Enfant Salad. Light and delicious but was $15 with no protein. $29 for soup and salad. Good soup and salad though. Husband had the Cheese Quesadilla which he said was good but heavy on the corn. Lots of corn. $14 worth with no added protein. Drinks/Wine were in the $14 range. They had a Cherry Old Fashioned that Husband liked. The second night I really wanted Pasta, so I ordered the "Perfect Pasta" which was $18 with no added protein. Tasted like they took a jar of Vodka Sauce and mixed in some Pesto. Just barely didn't overcook the Penne. The shaved Parmesan on top was good and it was served piping hot. Husband got the Turkey Club Sandwich which was giant for $17 and it did come with Fries. If I'd been in the sandwich mood we would have been smart to share it, cause he was only able to eat half and it didn't hold up well in the room fridge.

Workers are very welcoming and the service is outstanding. Even the managers are people persons.

Very good, we were visiting DC and didn’t realize it was inside of a Hilton. The food was great.

Not the best hotel restaurant I have eaten in. I had the short rib tacos and felt like the meat came out of a can and the flour tortillas were from a 7-11. Anyways, I'll try breakfast and see if this place can redeem itself. Otherwise I'd go elsewhere
