Off the Record is a vibrant restaurant with a fun and friendly atmosphere, attracting a crowd of politicians and lobbyists. The staff is known for their amazing service, and the cocktails are always perfectly crafted. The menu offers a variety of options, including vegetarian and vegan dishes, which can be adapted to suit dietary needs. The restaurant has an upscale ambiance, complete with dark wood and political artwork, making it a quintessential DC spot. Prices are on the higher side, but the unique experience and excellent service make it a popular choice for those looking for a sophisticated night out. The restaurant is located in the basement of a five-star hotel, and the coasters placed at the seats have cartoon-like depictions of Democratic and Republican representatives, which can be taken home as a souvenir. The bar area can be a bit cramped, and the restaurant can get quite busy, with tables on a first-come-first-serve basis.
