Restaurants near Madison Hospitality at 1401 Joyce Street

Just coming back from Paris, my husband and I decided we would organize his birthday dinner here as a loving nod to a wonderful experience abroad. The food was delicious and so very well presented. The wine was impeccable and cocktails were perfect. The ambiance, especially around the holidays, is unmatched. I will say it was surprisingly busy for a late evening dinner on a Tuesday and I think that made wait times for items longer than ideal. That being said, it was a top notch experience and we will be back!

Super Restaraunt. Very good atmosphere, friendly wait staff, very good price point. Reservations are highly recommended as this is a local go-to. There are four bars in the restaurant, one in each corner. So, while this is a white linen dining experience, you must not think of it as posh or fine dining given the tavern extraordinaire atmosphere. It obviously has the DC charm of “Cheers” sans Norm and Sam, with a kicked up level regarding the dining. Very tasty meal, great selection of cuisine. I highly recommend OEG.

We ordered medium well steak and frites. At first, they gave us the steak salad which was incorrect. Then when they tried to correct and gave us the steak and frites, it was medium rare. The service staff took a long time to come back and check on us. Everyone at the table were done with their dinner when we told the server that we couldn’t eat the steak because it wasn’t cooked medium well. The server asked if we wanted it to be cooked more, but everyone was finished with dinner. So we were not able to eat our food. Good thing we ordered soup and appetizer.

Been a fan of this restaurant (this and other locations) for over 30 years. Never disappoints with quality and quantity of food for the price.

Good food, but service is slow due to lack of waiters. Hoping the sports Happy Hour has better TV package, not just local games, deceiving advertisement.
