Excellent meal in a charming, historical context. Staff were flexible and helpful, and our server was attentive and generous. Though our main courses were excellent, the appetizers were the real star, especially the scallops and chanterelle mushrooms!

What a great restaurant! They have valet parking which is very convenient. The food was excellent. They serve three kinds of bread and they are delicious! I had the crab bisque as a starter, and for my meal I had halibut, shrimp, and scallop stew. My husband had steak and he was very pleased! We truly enjoyed our food, but sadly, we had no room for dessert! I highly recommend this restaurant!

While they serve smaller plates at the bar, the "downstairs" pub and grill has a full grill menu which is different from the main rooms' superb menu, bit the grill is delicious, very popular, and most reasonable. Lots of locals, Hoyas, young and old, so quite diversified down the steps. Try it.

Yes and call to find out

Correct, no pizza..

It's actually the year John Carroll chartered Georgetown as an University. The building is from the 1850s or 60s

I used a gift certificate when i went, so yes, they offer gift certificates.

Yes

Jacket suggested not required.

Probably not. It's a tight space and often has reservations in advance. Though they probably do seat a total of at least 50 guests. Would be good to call and ask.
