- GGeorgeWashington, D.C. Area •7 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoLocated close to Ford's Theater. Had tickets for Christmas Carol that night which is within walking distance from The Smith. Also, the Management accommodated a last minute change in the numbers of our party and made sure we made it to the show on time.More infoThe Smith – Penn Quarter, Washington, D.CPrice: Expensive• American• Penn Quarter•4.5
- CCynthiaWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoChristmas Eve dinner at OEG is a 24-year tradition for my daughter and me. As always, the food was awesome. My daughter and I were quite surprised and disappointed by the lackluster greeting and overall experience when we walked in. The word "dismissive" comes to mind. Because our previous experiences were fabulous, I will look at this visit as a "one-off" one. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!!!More infoOld Ebbitt GrillPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.8
- CC.VIPLas Vegas •109 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoWe were greeted with a big smile at the front stand and promptly seated. This vibrant spot featured fresh, well-prepared sushi and an array of American and Italian selections. Every dish we selected was excellent. Though the place was packed and the noise level was predictably high, I had requested a quiet table when reserving and we were seated in a private booth complete with a door and coat hooks - the closest thing to our own dining room. The star of the evening was was our server Brian S. He was cheerful, informative, professional, welcoming, and everything one wants to insure a good experience when dining out. Kudos to The Hamilton - everyone got everything right!More infoThe HamiltonPrice: Moderate• American• Downtown•4.7

- BBillWashington, D.C. Area •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days agoFood portions are generous and flavor full, pizza is outstanding. We've had the skillet bread in the past which was very filling with a rich marinara sauce. The Cream of Crab soup is ok, but not great with more broth than crab. I don't like Sherry, and usually it's put on top of the soup, but here it's cooked into the base which I wish I'd known before ordering. The blueberry cheesecake was rich and creamy with a generous dollop of whipped cream, definitely more than enough to share.More infomatchbox Capitol HillPrice: Moderate• American• Capitol Hill•4
