The food was good. The elote dip and chicken wings were very good. My husband had the ribeye and I had the seafood risotto and we both enjoyed our meals. While the food was good, I would say it was a very average meal. It was satisfying but not something I would need to have again. Service was also average. The restaurant is very convenient for those staying at the hotel who want a reasonable meal that is easily accessible.

We ate here 3 times because of convenience as we were staying in the hotel. Every time the food was near tasteless and disappointing and while some of the staff seemed nice and helpful, the equal number that seemed annoyed to have to provide service made it a negative experience.

While staying at the Mayflower we enjoyed the happy hour on two days and enjoyed dinner one night. We had the Halibut and Short Ribs both were amazing. Take advantage of the happy hour and Edger's

Salmon was under cooked. Brussels Sprouts were very salty. That was dinner. The next morning same restaurant for breakfast the potatoes were under cooked and hard. Eggs Benedict had no taste.

This place has hit its stride. The menu covers most tastes, the wine menu was varied enough to include all price points. Service was friendly and competent, without being constantly in our faces. We were staying at the Mayflower for a romantic getaway, and Edgar perfectly fit for a romantic meal—enough that this is going to be a “regular”!

We dined here during a recent stay at the Mayflower Hotel. I had the haddock and my wife the shrimp risotto. Both were quite good and reasonably priced. We also had breakfast the following morning. Very good choices for all budgets. Service in the evening and at breakfast was professional and friendly.

Went for Sunday brunch as it was the easiest option if you are staying at the Mayflower. Brunch items were ok but not anything unusual or memorable. Basic items but pricey for what you are getting. If you are staying at the hotel and prefer not to walk anywhere then it's a good option.

We had flown in from the west coast. We're tired and hungry, staying at the Mayflower. We had appetizers, a drink and dessert. It was perfect and Ty was wonderful, as was his server who worked with him.

The early dinner crowd was very small, but the server would not wait on us until our third person arrived. The server was apathetic and at times difficult. Th food was badly prepared: we sent back two of the three entrees. The manager tried to be sympathetic, but he was disinterested. I cannot recommend, and I certainly will not return.

We had a great experience at both happy hour and breakfast. Prices for happy hour were some of the best in DC! Breakfast seemed expensive but the portion was decent. The service was outstanding and we would return.

Wonderful, attentive service. So many great choices on the menu. Settled on signature clam chowder and brown butter salmon and both were fantastic. Nice selection of wines to accompany. Can't wait to return to try other menu offerings.

Our server was so pleasant. We ate here two mornings in a row since we stayed at the hotel and he remembered us and was so friendly and attentive. Delicious food and love that they open so early for breakfast and that they take reservations for busier times.

We started with the chowder, still the recipe from 1925, which was absolutely out. The beets in whipped feta cheese is also recommended. Entrees were the salmon and the sea bass. The later was in a sauce with a variety of vegetables such as corn, Lima beans, tomatoes, etc. It had a South American preparation, it seems, with just the right amount of spice to it, and again it is highly recommended. The restaurant was very busy due to a conference at the Mayflower but the service was excellent and the noise level a bit high. Overall, it was an excellent dinner and Edgar's is highly recommended!!!

Food and drinks were very good. Small food menu, no specials. Service could've been better. There didn't seem to be one server assigned to a table or section like most places. Multiple people served us which seemed to make the drinks take a bit longer, and service wasn't overly friendly or personable.
