    American breakfast platter
    Lindsey M.

    Came in before 7am from a red eye flight. For our first meal we went simple, hotel restaurant. Why not? We walked to the podium, there was a QR code to look at the menu. There were no prices, but there wasn't a huge urge to go somewhere else at the moment. The host was busy, so we waited at the podium for a few minutes. We were sat right next to the entrance of the kitchen when there were tons of tables open. I don't know why. It was a dirty table and had coffee spills dried on it. We were too tired to fight it. We both ordered a regular American Breakfast plate each. Plus coffee and fresh orange juice. I was impressed with the portions and the orange juice. I couldn't even eat the toast nor finish my scrambled eggs. My orange slice tasted like I was eating an onion. But it was exactly what I was looking for and nothing went to waste. And luckily it didn't because we were charged over $50 for breakfast. Besides the sticker shock, the dirty table, and the poor seating, we had an okay time there. Once we got our food, we never were asked about additional beverages. Also, docking a star because we were not asked about our room number so we never got the "perk" of $10 off each guest when we were charged $20/night for the destination fee we were unaware of. I emailed Hyatt's contact and never heard back from them.

    Flourless chocolate cake
    Krista G.

    The restaurant is located in the Hyatt. I was staying at this hotel so I decided to not go far for dinner. It was Valentine's Day and they had what looked like a really nice special for a dinner for two. However, it just happened to be me. I asked the waitress which was better, as I was torn between the salmon and chicken. She recommended the chicken. It came with carrots, pearl onions, and lentils. The vegetables were a little too undercooked for me but, the chicken was cooked well and came in a honey glaze sauce that had just a little sweet spice. Since it was Valentine's Day, I figured I would treat myself with dessert. I ordered the flourless chocolate cake. Oh my goodness, the cake was the most decadent piece of greatness I had! I highly recommend it if you are looking for a dessert. I would say the only downside was the service. There were only two waitresses on a fairly busy evening so the wait was a bit longer than I would have liked for ordering and then getting my bill.

    A1 Burger w/Fries and Brussell Sprouts.
    William D.

    I was expecting a typical hotel burger and fries. However, it was far from my expectations. I ordered the A1 Burger with fries and an order of roasted brussell sprouts. The burger was prepared exactly as requested, medium. It was flavorful and came open face in case you want to remove anything. The fries were so good and hot. But, but, but...the star of the show was the roasted brussell sprouts. I told everyone about them. They even inspired me to Yelp. Give them a try.

    Seafood pasta
    Mycla S.

    Signature Seafood Pasta was delicious. Good amount of shrimp and crab. It was fresh and the portion was big. Worth the price. The pasta actually tasted better a few hours later.

    Fried chicken thighs
    Valerie G.

    This is located inside of the Hyatt hotel. It was busy and noisy inside, so if you're looking for somewhere quiet and romantic, this may not be it. There are tvs in the bar area and then a normal dining area. The servers were so friendly and attentive. The food was amazing! We tried the fried chicken thighs, seafood pasta, Brussels sprouts and a burger. I would def return!

    I stayed at this hotel over the weekend and had amazing food every single night. One of the servers daughters went into labor while she was attending us and it was such a beautiful experience because she was so friendly and attentive while answering calls from her daughter checking up on her. It was so beautiful for her to share that with us and we appreciate her even being there. She went above and beyond making sure everything was correct and we all had complicated orders. We also required separate checks because we had to provide receipts to our sponsors individually so that would affect her gratuity, but she didn't mind. We appreciate her being so kind to us and being able to accommodate us during that busy time. The food was 10 out of 10 and I ate it every single night I was there. I'll definitely be back.

    The restaurant leaves you wishing you ate some place else. Food is mediocre and I can not say that it is worth the money. It is convenient-yes. You can have a breakfast buffet for 26$!!!. This restaurant needs flavor and not sell blunt food. Overpriced in my opinion. Dinner staff has no clue whats going on.

    Carolyn E.

    Due to a limited menu, they're currently taking orders through the bar instead of full service. I had a grass fed burger with fries. All meals are packed to go, so I brought dinner back to my room. My burger was cooked medium rare to order, toppings included were more than enough, and the serving of fries was very generous.

    Article One - American Grill in DC is a great place to go for delicious food that is well prepared. I really like the location and atmosphere that they have available here. I have been impressed with all of the meals that I have had from here each time.

    Article One Pasta - Fresh Fettucine*
    José Antonio M.

    On my visit to D.C I went to a lot of restaurants, but Article One stood out, I tried the Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp and Crab, and it was absolutely great, the flavors were great and the plate was enough for one or even two servings, the service was ok and the ambience was calm and enjoyable.

    Beyond burger. Delicious.

Also the restaurant just has a really beautiful atmosphere to sit down and enjoy some really great hospitality. Onto the food! Oysters were smaller than I thought they'd be but SO FLAVORFUL and just the right amount of brine, and slid beautifully from the shell 10/10 The deviled eggs were given a 10/10, presentation was beautiful and the pickled relish was a well rounded addition We then finished up by sharing the cheasapeake eggs Benedict! Which featured their famous crab cake. The HOLLANDAISE?? literally danced in my mouth. The crab meat was so tender and buttery! Only difference I would've loved if the smoked paprika that was on the deviled eggs to also be featured on the Benedict! Over all it was a very lovely and sense awakening experience 9/10

This was one of the most unique shakshukas I'd ever had... It literally tasted like a curry dish you might get at your local Indian restaurant, with a bit of a brunch flair to it. The curry itself had a wee bit of spice and was a bit sweet - but that could have been from the sweet potatoes. The chicken was served in a bowl on the side, which felt a bit... odd...

She was most likely on auto pilot and appeared embarrassed when she realized it. I politely smiled and said (confidently), table for 1. We solo diners need to be loud and proud! I digress... Before being seated I found the restroom. I found it odd that it was extremely dim. The main dining room was brighter than the restroom! I also saw the Photo Booth. Interesting addition. $5 for pictures. I was seated at a small round table with two chairs by the window. The restaurant was plenty busy, and I'm just glad I wasn't asked if I wanted to sit at the bar (I didn't). My server Noel brought two bottles of water: still and sparkling. I requested lemon slices, which he brought. And I proceeded to finish the entire bottle of sparkling by the end of the meal...guess I was thirsty! But I appreciated the option of both. I forgot to ask for a straw, but saw them in a container at the register right behind my table, so I got one myself. After ordering I noticed a nearby table had some bread so I asked Noel if they served complimentary bread. He said yes and apologized for not bringing it initially. Not that I needed it, but I don't eat bread with butter often and this was a night out to indulge a bit. There were two slices, nothing special. My food arrived within about 10-15 minutes and looked so scrumptious. I ordered the lamb and short rib meatballs and Brussels sprouts. The meatballs were pretty good, but what made them even better was the tzatziki sauce. I didn't realize the green rice was on one side of the plate until I was almost done. That tzatziki sauce was really all I needed to go with the meatballs. It was cool and creamy to go with the dry, meatiness of the meatballs. I honestly wish there had been more of it! I did not finish the rice, which didn't look super appetizing because of the intense green color. I will say though, I'm not a fan of spicy food but the tzatziki had a kick. I think perhaps due to chopped jalapeños. I tried to avoid them once I realized. The Brussels were delicious! Roasted to perfection, not too charred and not too mushy. I requested the green goddess sauce on the side because I'm not a huge sauce person, but once I tried it, I couldn't stop. Again, the combination of the creaminess of the sauce with the flakiness of the Brussels was a genius pairing. During the meal the beverage manager stopped by. I didn't have any drinks with the meal, but perhaps I will return to see what they have. Noel brought the bill at my request, then brought over the portable device so I could pay at the table. While that process is efficient, it's always awkward leaving a tip when the server is standing right there. Anyhow, overall it was a good experience and a delicious meal!

My friend ordered the sugar snap salad with chicken Milanese, and the portion was enormous. The chicken literally covered the entire plate! It looked delicious and would easily satisfy a hearty appetite. The Mac & cheese was cooked well with a nice crust on top. Overall, the food was fresh, the portions were generous, and there was something for everyone. I'd definitely return the next time I'm in DC.

Chowder came out pretty much right on top of my salad, but no big deal. Chowder was decent taste, but only found one clam. Ok whatever. Salad came out looking like a side salad on a large plate with five slices of rare, tough steak. It was so rare, that it was extremely hard to cut through, but again, who was I going to talk to about it. No wait staff would even look my way. I couldn't even get a refill on my water and there is no place in the app to order a glass of water...so that's that. Unfortunately it was just an extremely bad experience for $40. I'll be looking for dinner somewhere else tomorrow night.
