An upscale, modern eatery, EDGAR features traditional American brasserie cuisine and authentically crafted cocktails. Handcrafted cocktail culture marks The Mayflower's return to the iconic bar scene. EDGAR will be the place to toast with a classic beverage, but a creative and artisanal menu is the new star.

Located in the footprint of the original restaurant space with entrances in the lobby and on Connecticut Avenue, EDGAR replaces the former Town & Country and Cafe Promenade and promises a contemporary twist to the iconic hotel. Bringing the spirit of the grand bar back to Connecticut Avenue, EDGAR embraces the history of its legendary location and is poised to be a iconic yet modern fixture within DC social and cultural scene.

Our team is dedicated to making your experience at EDGAR as special as possible and we thrive on opportunities to create wonderful memories for our guests.

Really good NYE meal with family. Attentive service and decent menu. Great option for those staying in the Mayflower Hotel as it is located in the main lobby.

We had a wonderful anniversary dinner of Steak Frittes, which we both enjoyed immensely. We also enjoyed the ambiance and history of The Edgar ! We will most definitely return!

I have all my business and personal lunch meetings at Edgar over the past 10 years. It is a comfortable, quiet, well appointed restaurant and easy to find. I highly recommend it as a great meeting place.

From the moment we arrived, during happy hour, the hostess was very friendly and attentive. Our waiter was equally friendly, and described how the citrus slices were dried in an air fryer. The only glitch was that the menu was incorrectly annotated as to which menu items were gluten free. I was not able to have either of my first 2 choices, as they were not truly gluten free, as marked. Unfortunately, I had ordered red wine for the now-forbidden beef. The third choice, the halibut, was fabulous. The manager brought a glass of white wine to compensate. They should fix either the menus or the recipes. Had I known in advance about the lack of gluten free options, I would not have chosen this restaurant. I hope they fix this problem.

I just enjoyed a lovely lunch with a good friend. The tuna and mango poke bowl was so delicious I would highly recommend and will be back for more. The service was excellent as usual.
