Best Organic Food Restaurants in Mount Vernon

This was our second time in a week. The food is outstanding, as the service--very friendly, quiet, helpful, knowledgeable. The ambience is lovely. They have retained the decor of Birch and Barley, which is great. The lighting is lovely, warm and low, but bright enough to read. All in all, a great experience. Neighborhood favorite.

Food was good. Salmon was great. Chicken was a bit dry but well seasoned. Desserts were not good except for the chocolate coffee cake. Love the ambiance and good customer service Overall very solid Christmas dinner. a bit overpriced; maybe worth $70-$100

I had the lobster roll and truffle fries meal which was one of the best I’ve had in the city. The meal was sooooo deelish!!!! I’ve been to DH for Howard U HoCo parties but have never been for brunch. I’ll definitely be back!!! I may consider this place for my annual bday brunch.

The hotel has moved their popular afternoon tea service out of the lobby parlor and into the hotel restaurant due to its popularity. It is a full tea with lots of options. Graciously served. The only drawback is if you have the need for the toilet, it is downstairs from the lobby. Be sure to make a reservation as walk-ins can be accommodated if there is space.

Great selection of whiskey. Good food. Three different spaces for hanging out. The basement bar is lively but noisy. We hung out at the ground floor lounge which has comfortable seating and isn’t too noisy. There’s a penthouse space too with views of the city. I would go back.
