My servers name was Andrew, and he was Fabulous!! His personality mixed with attentiveness and knowledge of spirits, makes him a top notch asset to this restaurant.....Food, drinks, and ambiance made this experience unforgettable. This along with the 5 star service I received from Andrew will definitely make me a repeat guest. And it doesnr hurt that he's handsome!

Great cocktail menu. Creative drinks curated by the staff. Service is excellent with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere is really nice, set in the historical Jefferson Hotel. Have only had cocktails here, have not tried the food.

Great traditional DC power spot, private and elegant with impeccable service. Artisanal desserts may be had with you cocktails.

One of the top spots to hang out in DC. While it may be a bit pricey, the quality is well worth it. The mixologists are consistently excellent and highly attentive. You can either choose a cocktail for them to craft, or let them surprise you with their magic. The atmosphere exudes sophistication and relaxation. The piano room provides a charming setting for intimate conversations. If you're seeking a tranquil venue for a date where you don't have to shout over loud music, Quill is a must-visit.

Beautiful hotel. We stopped into the quill for pre dinner cocktails and an appetizer. Very friendly staff. Good drinks and nice little menu. Even have entrees.

While the drinks were good, we were ignored for long periods of time and had to hound the staff multiple times to get service. It was also quite noisy, and the staff seemed to disappear and become overwhelmed as large groups came in. It felt unwelcoming and a bit chaotic for the small space and I do not think I will go back, unfortunately, especially for the high cost of the drinks and food.

Wandered in here on a whim walking through the neighborhood looking for a cocktail and thank you little eight pound, six ounce, newborn infant Jesus we did, because it was amazing. John and Megan were phenomenal hosts and super rad bartenders. Our only regrets are (1) that we didn't have more time to spend here on our trip because the experience was amazing, and (2) we didn't show up hungry because the food menu (and the dishes that went by) looks bomb. Also ALMOST regret we don't live here so we can be regulars. Very cool atmosphere, very interesting blown glass bar. Absolute gem. Will look forward to coming back on an upcoming trip to the city.

Enjoyed the elegant and quiet drink for a catch-up with an old friend. The bar tender was very friendly even if the cocktails were a tad more expensive than I would have liked...

This is a cool little bar tucked in the back of the hotel. The bartender was a ton of fun which is why I'd return.

Hands down the best cocktail bar in the city. Not even close.

Cozy upscale ambiance, attentive staff, and amazing craft cocktails. The snacks and menu items are top notch...great burger! I miss the piano player playing the American songbook. Prices are steep...but not unexpected!

My friends and I ran in to grab a drink. It's located inside a hotel (can't remember the name) but it beautiful and upscale. The crafted drinks are elevated and thoughtful. The service is lovely.

The hotel and ambiance is nice. The food and drinks however were expensive and not good at all. Burger and fries were very bland. Mojito had too much club soda and very little alcohol. Maybe it depends on what you get but would not be back.

I love this place. Talk about a sleek bar that actually caters to its customers... I do random DC visits and this place was welcoming and amazing. I had a few lovely cocktails, and then toured the place. There are rooms here where you can actually host a whole party of people and just order any amount of food and drinks that you want, no need to rent the room as I was told it is first come, first serve. Again, this place is sleek but also upscale yet low-key casual. I would gladly visit again when back in DC.
