Came here for some quick prepackaged cocktails. They were each 11$ a piece. And we're pretty strong. Set up at a very scenic corner.

Great service, really appreciate how careful they are being during the pandemic. The server recommended a wine and we each had a glass and really enjoyed it. We also got the cheese plate, which was great except for one cheese that we left behind because it tasted weird. Room 11 is always a tiny bit overpriced, but we’re still really sad it’s closing for the colder months. Hopefully it’s back in the spring!

Unusual requirement of wearing mask anytime we interact with the waiter even in the middle of our meal. Perhaps you might consider pop up trays that you set on the side and then customers pick up their own plates? One restaurant was handling things that way. No one else is requiring that we keep putting on our masks in between bites. I'd have also preferred my plates not picked up rather than to interrupt my conversation and meal, put on a mask so the waiter can take the plates.I love room 11 and it's my first time back since the pandemic but not sure that I'd want to go back if it's such a hassle for questionable protection

I went to Room 11 on a Saturday night and it was the best dining experience in the pandemic so far. They have cute bistro tables set up and umbrellas for some of them - which was great in a light sprinkle. Tables are spaced apart. The cocktails and drinks menus are delicious and reasonably priced and the staff was super kind and patient (and also good about masks). The patio is small, but if you see one of the tables open I highly recommend this great outdoor neighborhood spot. Great ambiance, food, service, and COVID precautions. Worth a visit!

really nice cute place ; sandwiches & coffee during the day ; bottled cocktails and beer available too. Lamby-Sammie was amazing !

In 140 characters or less: Great cocktails, friendly staff, the perfect spot for pre/post dinner drinks or a casual brunch. Room 11 feels like your typical wine bar with a twist: Sure there's wine but there's also fantastic cocktails and food that is so deliberately prepared (something the recent collaboration with Queens English only bolsters). This is exactly the spot you want to be in order to catch up with an old friend over Burnt Sugar Old Fashioneds and a dessert du jour. Covid note: patio tables are actually 6 feet+ apart. Pre-pandemic they used to serve these amazing breakfast biscuits and I wish they'd bring them back! The pop up (Aardvark Cafe) is an option for takeout whether it be coffee, cocktails, or a sandwich.

during covid they have started a sandwich pop-up and I am a huge fan! tried the grilled cheese which came with marinara, and have now had the lobster roll twice. super flavorful and buttery and felt like a really nice splurge (but easy!) meal. pre-covid I loved their cocktails as well. pricer side for the area but worth it. can't wait to have more of their regular menu!

One of our neighbors raved about the lobster rolls so We ventured out to Room 11. The last time we were there it was not stellar. The lobster rolls were boffo as well as the wine and the romane lettice wedge with green goddess dressing. It was the perfect summer meal. The lobster roll was mostly lobster a little celery and dressing. it was the best lbster roll I have had in a while. Greatsocial distancing was to the max. Richard

So refreshing to have such personal service. Very friendly. Drinks were creative & lovely. Food outstanding. Lots of attention to details. Can not wait to go back.
New York vibe with DC friendly service. Excellent and reasonably priced cocktails and a small but well-curated list of shared plates. Now I get why this place is so hyped as a first date spot (bonus for non-first dates is first-date people watching). Looking forward to making Room 11 part of our local rotation!

Great place, great food. Only downside is that it can feel cramped. But still a fave.

First time for brunch and we really enjoyed the food, the atmosphere and our drinks. We had a nice quiet in the front (only a few tables), which is rare to find and had a great brunch with friends. Will certainly be back to try dinner.

They don't really have a big happy hour (just $1 off a selection of wines and beers). The cocktails are good and their grilled cheese sandwich is amazing. The mulled wine is also great. I would definitely recommend as a place to meet friends and grab a drink.

Love the laid-back vibes. The food and drink is always phenomenal. Beautiful, friendly energy among the staff and patrons.
