Gatsby is a reimagined American diner by KNEAD Hospitality + Design. With favorites like the famous monte cristo sandwich, fried chicken or today's blue plate special, Gatsby brings you back to the days of the diner, but from a fresh perspective. Whether you crave breakfast at any time of day or a smashburger & a milkshake, Gatsby is the perfect place. Located at the corner of Half and N Streets, directly in front of Nats Park's Centerfield Gate, and overlooking the ballpark from our second floor dining room, Gatsby is the perfect pre/post game venue from which to celebrate.

    We enjoyed brunch with a group of adults and kids split across two tables when we were in town for a volleyball tournament. There is a view of the nationals stadium, bottomless cocktails, great service and delicious food. Highly recommend!

    The waiter was so sweet. She was attentive and kind. I wanted a steak but they were out and she recommended the meatloaf which was fantastic. The atmosphere was amazing

    I selected Gatsby's for my birthday brunch and requested an upstairs table in my reservation notes. However, we were seated downstairs. When I politely inquired about moving upstairs, the hostess said that no one was seated upstairs, which was untrue. Shortly afterward, I observed guests being seated upstairs. When I spoke with a gentleman, he explained that upstairs tables were reserved—which I had already done—and that our seating was determined by the waitstaff's rotation. I found this explanation unsatisfactory and felt that I was dismissed and misled.

    This place has unfortunately gone way down hill. Food was mediocre. Service was all but nonexistent , maybe due ti staffing? Drinks weren’t good. Will say the manager agreed and comped the drink so that was nice. We loved this place when we lived in navy yard a couple of years ago. Will not be returning

    Server was too pleasant. I usually love coming here for a quick breakfast but I was disappointed but my expectations are always high. I expect Gatsby to do better!

    Food was pretty good! Moriah was our server and did pretty good managing multiple tables. Food was a bit slow coming out for the brunch. The bathroom on the 2nd floor was absolutely horrible. There is a putrid smell that is coming from the plumbing according to the manager. No way should this be acceptable in a restaurant. The lights in the bathroom are way too dark. I get that it’s part of the ambience, but ladies like to check themselves out when entering a restroom.
