The Old Ebbitt Grill is old, true: established in 1856, it has been serving presidents and has acted as popular watering hole for a myriad of political insiders, celebrities, and just plain DC residents. But nothing is "old" about its current brand of hospitality or food. It features an upscale, updated American cuisine, but in a fabulous Victorian setting.
Its current location at 675 15th Street, NW was once the old B. F. Keith's Theater, and provides a Beaux-Arts façade to complement the many historic pieces retained since its founding. The décor is sumptuous with mahogany and velvet booths and bars set in marble, brass and beveled glass, and the Oyster Bar DC's most famous. At each table is a card reading "Many other famous statesmen, naval and military heroes, too numerous to mention here, have been guests of the house."
The restaurant also offers carryout meals in the Atrium.
