    Excellent service pleasant nice ! Nice atmosphere as usual in the John Carroll room with fire place . One entre was very good (halibut) my entree duck sauce ok but rather tough and chewy . Side of dirty rice was not that tasty. Good dessert. But have had much better duck at a few restaurants not as pricey . I guess I remember the Ris LaCoste. Days but ever since 89 has been up and down. Do ok but disappointing servers were very attentive and nice and dessert different and guite good .

    We’ve been to 1789 several times over the last few years. Each dining experience was fabulous. Atmosphere is cozy with nice fireplace, yet elegant. Cocktails and wine list very good and appropriately priced. Appetizers and main courses are cooked to perfection and presented nicely. I had terrific pork chop, my wife had tasty halibut and my son had delicious lamb chops. Steak tartare and pasta starters very good. I must add, the service was impeccable, from the coat check to our waiter. We love this place - super special with wonderful memories of our son’s time at Georgetown Highly recommended!!
