A quiet place to grab a nice Old Fashioned and people watch. Try the Tacos and the flatbread.

My experience was not particularly 'deep'.
That being said: No issues. Great cocktail and chowder. Ordered the Man O'War and chowder. Excellent stuff. A little pricey, but it's DC.

The bartender just didn’t want to be there and seems to take offense that customers had the audacity to show up. Watching someone who works in customer service post up in plain view and scroll on their phone will always be unacceptable. But then this guy barely spoke and never checked in to see how the food, drinks and service was for me. Terrible! The ladies that worked there seemed nice. I can’t blame it on being busy. There were only 4 people, including myself, sitting at the bar. Do better. To top things off, I ordered a mixed drink (old fashioned) that was gone within a few sips. Next time, pour something in the glass.

A very iconic facade that evokes a different time.

Got to the bar when they opened. Bartender seemed to be disinterested in customers. Watched one patron wait at the bar until a lovely woman came to his rescue! The place was not busy. His Woodford Old Fashioned was fine, but maybe some energy??!! He never checked how I was doing and of if I wanted another!

I tried to go here three times during a seven-week stay in Washington. Each time it was “closed for a private event,” despite this sign in the hotel’s lobby. It has a great reputation, but I feel like management should be much clearer on its website and on social media platforms about its hours.

What a gem! The food was incredible, but what truly set this place apart was the service. Our server Shannon took great care of us and the rest of the staff was equally as welcoming

The staff is so nice and friendly. The cocktails are soooo good. the Whisk-cello was definitely my favorite. I also has the Mediterranean salad and it was very good. The vibes are kind of laid back speakeasy. Definitely recommend

Tucked away - dignified- bar and small plate spot. After traversing through the spacious almost cavernous lobby of the Marquis Marriott, this was a nice spot to hide out and chat away the evening. Food was plentiful and nicely priced. We got what we paid for.

What an amazing place!! we were in for a RW conference and needed a good place to relax after a long day of travel. We were greeted by Jonh G. who provided us with such wonderful customer service overall. Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Thanks John! We will definitely come back.

I was looking for late night eats after my train ride from New York and Dignitary popped up. When I saw the reviews and the menu I decided to head straight there. John G. Was my bartender and he UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT! I had an incredible old fashion with ginger paired with steak, puree of cauliflower, and perfectly seasoned broccoli. I’m smiling ?

When I sat at the bar, John greeted me with a great smile. I asked for an old fashion and he provided me one of the best. Not only did he provide me that, but spoke to me about all the whiskey and Bourbon you all had. I told him I had not had good service like that in a while and I would be returning. Thanks!!!!!
