Off the record, Hawk ’N’ Dove is basically a Washington monument. It reflects an older Washington that believed in politics, not just politicking. Hawk ’N’ Dove is where you can sip an Old Fashioned, hear political talk, and mingle with everyone from the black-suited, brown-shoed lobbyists, to the neighborhood folk that have been in this town since the Carter administration. Our beverages and food selections reflect our local support for this wonderful town, and if you use your imagination, you can almost hear the echo of past conversations from the most powerful people in the free world, spoken over gin and whiskey.

    Service started a little slow, but our server had many tables and it's a Saturday night in DC. Fine after he turned some tables. Food was excellent and came out at a nice pace. Look forward to coming back!

    Once again, Old Ebbitt Grill was great! Even though crowded due to Xmas, they were super organized and handled reservations well. The food, steak frites, stead salad, and bowl were perfect and the brownie sundae couldn't have been better. Our server Alexa made it even more fun with her efficiency and adept handling of the many things going around us.

    We had a work holiday party for 10 people and everyone loved their food, service was great, and we could (mostly) hear each other across the tables. And it was a great value for DC.
