If you're visiting Mount Vernon, splurge and dine here. It's a lovely experience. 100% worth the coin you'll spend.

You dine at Mount Vernon for the experience and the peanut soup. Service was great, food ok. We were on a main traffic way for servers and people being seated in the bar area so noise and distractions were frequent. All said would come back.

Made reservations weeks ago but our table was near the kitchen and entryway. Noise level was too high. Food was great!

Disappointing Experience – Far Below Expectations for a George Washington Mount Vernon Restaurant From the start, this experience was unpleasant. After booking, I received two threatening messages warning that if I didn't show up, I'd be charged a $100 fee—hardly a warm welcome. Upon arrival, despite the restaurant being nearly empty, we waited ten minutes before anyone bothered to greet us. We asked for a table for three, yet were inexplicably seated in a narrow corridor with no privacy—an odd choice for a family celebrating a birthday. Instead of a comfortable dining atmosphere, we found ourselves awkwardly deciding who would have to sit facing the hallway traffic. The restaurant's décor looked tired and neglected, and cleanliness was clearly not a priority. Staff seemed distracted and disinterested. To make matters worse, our steaks were served with butter knives, which made eating both frustrating and absurd. Although I informed the restaurant about a gluten intolerance, I still ended up with severe heartburn afterward—clearly, attention to dietary needs was lacking. We skipped dessert entirely, eager just to leave. Overall, this was a deeply disappointing and poorly managed experience. I expected far more from a restaurant associated with George Washington's Mount Vernon. Unfortunately, it turned what should have been a special birthday celebration into an evening best forgotten.

Dinner selection was excellent. The food was prepared perfectly. Atmosphere was fun, sort of felt like General Washington would walk in. Of course, I had to get a slice of cherry pie.
Chris
Wonderful. Great for adulta and kids. Friendly helpful staff in a wonderful setting. Efficient and friendly , Even thought it was very busy

I had crab vegetable soup that tasted like vegetable soup out of a can. They don't even serve bread. Just a disappointing dining experience. I thought it was strange that the waitress stood over you as you chose the tip amount on the payment machine.

Food was really good. Cherry pie alamode is to die for...best I've ever had. Great ambience and a nice way to end the visit of beautiful Mount Vernon.

Do not order the steak, my husband received what looked like boiled meat with the hint of a sear & was really disappointed. Everything else was ok, nothing to write home about, maybe it's fine for breakfast or a simple lunch, but I would certainly not go back for dinner.
Fantastic dinner! Everything was delicious! Service was great! Atmosphere wonderful! Will be back!

At the end of a fun filled day at the park, it was nice to sit down and enjoy a nice dinner. I like that there are gluten free options. I had the grilled chicken sandwich on a gluten free bun and my husband had the fried green tomato blt. Both meals were very good. The staff and our server were very friendly. Highly recommend mend.

This was our second time at Mount Vernon Restaurant, and it was just as wonderful as the first. The space is beautiful and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing meal. My omelette was fluffy and delicious, and everyone in our group enjoyed their food. We're already looking forward to coming back again.

We went 7/3/25 at 415. Had a reservation for 5pm but asked to be seated earlier. Not nearly as busy as I thought it would be. My son and I had shrimp and grits. Grits were smooth and delicious and shrimp was perfect. My other child did not like his mac n cheese. Another had grilled cheese and both loved the fries with their meal. Waitress was outstanding. Had cherry pie for dessert and it is chocked full of cherries and divine.

Unfortunately we don't get to eat here though the menu did not look too exciting. The environment was a little dim and noticed cobwebs collected around the room. We had to leave.
