For entrees, the shrimp and crab cakes, chicken bruschetta, Scottish salmon, and mussels are delish! Their polenta is my favorite side and maybe my favorite polenta I've ever had! Make sure to make a reservation on resy! It can get pretty crowded. They also stay open in the off season!

We ordered calamari to share as well as the Double Smash Burger, Lobster Roll, and the Blackened Salmon Po Boy. We all enjoyed our food. I typically order the Crab Cake Tacos and I regret not ordering them. The Lobster Roll was tasty but I do not enjoy the lobster salad being chopped up small as it was. It wasn't a traditional Lobster Roll preparation and I didn't realize it was $29. I regretted my selection.

Reservations seem highly recommended because it seems most people came here with one. It's fine dining (price-wise - very reasonable for fine dining). It's also BYOB -- like the name says. I loved every moment of this. Service was very attentive and professional. I did feel worried that I was a bit underdressed because I had tennis shoes on, but it was not an issue. It is not a huge restaurant, but it's elegant and definitely meant more as a special night out than a casual spot. If you are looking for seafood options, look no further than here. If you want to impress someone, take them here. Now, onto the food. The bread is complimentary and we ate it all (along with our refill). The butter was freshly made, I believe. I had the winter prix fixe menu and my sister ordered à la carte. Their prix fixe and tasting menus tend to change quite often so it'll always be interesting. My sister ordered the Spanish octopus (1st course) and the Scottish Salmon. I had some of her octopus and salmon. They were both such well-made dishes. We would definitely order the octopus again. Chewy and delicate. I had the arancini, fra diavolo, and the chocolate tart. It was absolutely delicious. The arancini were small, but it was still well filled with tiny bites of clam. The fra diavolo was also very good and filling. Plenty of seafood to go around in that dish. Spicy too, which I like. At the end, we shared a chocolate tart -- and I must say, we were already full at this point. The chocolate was rich and the pistachio ice cream was perfect. We will definitely be back.

We started with the caprese salad, which was fresh and exactly what you want from a starter, followed by the summer corn soup, which was comforting without feeling heavy. The standout was the special New York strip. It arrived beautifully cooked, tender and flavorful. Service was equally strong by being attentive without being overbearing. The one misstep was the rigatoni, essentially a truffle mac and cheese with mushrooms and shaved truffles. On paper, it sounded promising, especially paired with a steak. In practice, it was overwhelmed by garlic to the point that the garlic eclipsed nearly everything else. There was also surprisingly little rigatoni pasta; the dish was dominated by mushrooms. We wouldn't order the pasta again, but that's a relatively minor complaint for an otherwise excellent meal. Grana is absolutely worth a return visit and there's plenty on the menu that we'd happily order again. It gets a relatively older crowd, but I don't mind if that food is good.

I think the woman was either the owner or the manager. She seemed to take good care of the regulars at the bar, even giving them free drinks. But she was extremely rude to us, who were clearly tourists. Even though we were sitting at the same bar, she ignored us like we weren't there, didn't take our order at first, and acted like we didn't exist. She eventually came over, but even then, she got our order wrong. She ignored us from the start, missed part of our order, and it took over 40 minutes for us to get all our food. I don't want to think it was because we're Asian, but honestly, it felt that way. She didn't even bother to apologize. The beer was flat with no carbonation, the wings were okay, but the pizza was honestly terrible. This place seems like a local hangout where regulars get free drinks and good service, but I would never recommend it to outsiders. If that bartender is the owner, there's probably nothing that can be done, but if she's just an employee, I really hope the owner sees this review. I noticed similar negative reviews from others, and I have a feeling they're talking about the same person. read more

I have never had a more unenjoyable and infuriating experience at a restaurant in my entire life. While the food was ok a group of Peter Pan syndrome men who acted like frat boys were seated next to us. We said something and despite the bare breasts they were looking at on their phone, their hate speech, ridiculous behavior, and disgusting talk about the wait staff and the women around them nothing was done. If we hadn't gotten out of there when we did I would have said something. Is this behavior towards your staff and patrons ok with you c-view? Locals like us support your business in the off season. I can say if ignoring fools like this group of man children continues I won't be. I decided if I called in an order I would give them a second chance and at least not have to deal with their rowdy drunk tough guys. I asked for all flats and they said they wouldn't do that. I have never been somewhere that would not serve all flats when asked. If I am paying for my wings that request should be honored. Guess I won't be getting wings from there ever again. read more

The owner scoffed at me when he saw my pickle rick shirt (from the hit show rick and morty) and told me he would sleep with my wife after he was done serving me. After what felt like eons (long period of time) my wife, her boyfriend, and I were seated and served the dryest burgers I have ever seen, comparable with the sands of the Gobi Desert (desert in China). When I asked for some sauce (Saskatchewan sauce in particular) to make the meal edible, the owner rudely chortled and suggested I order from the kids menu next time. I am NOT a child for liking Rick and Morty and the joke's on him, because I watched my wife have the best sex of her life later that night- and she sure as heck wasn't having it with the restaurant owner. read more

This place is mean! It used to have a great feel to it. It is obvious they are chincing on the little things. Friendliness is one of them. We also miss mandy, a great barkeep as well as the tall blonde natalie. They were friendly. The last time I had takeout I ran across the street to get money and was given attitude when I got returned, as if I were going to run off. Late night is dead here as well.

Ere is no where better to get wings. They are of great size and the sauce it perfectly flavored. However, my favorite feature is their blue cheese, it compliments the wings flavor perfectly. This is an absolute must try if your in the area. Be forewarned if you go on wing night get there early or be prepared to wait. The seating is very limited and the restaurant is very popular, on wing night especiallly. It is totally worth the wait. read more

Both were delicious. For appetizers, we have the deviled eggs, Heirloom tomato and melon salad, and the unbelievably delicious Parker House rolls (4 for $8). The deviled eggs ($15) were some of the best we've had but come only three halves to an order (each topped differently, duck, lobster, Cherry). The salad ($20) was OK, but honestly a little bland. I don't think I would order it again. And I highly recommend the rolls and the eggs though. For entrées, my wife had the Cape May Scallops ($49) which were fantastic. I had the duck appetizer ($32) for my entrée. The sliced duck breast was more than enough and very tasty. My only complaint was it wasn't cooked medium rare as stated, it was cooked all the way to medium, which was only a little pink. Still it was delicious. We also shared a side, the special charred snap peas ($12) - very good! No room for dessert tonight.

The setting is lovely and the experience feels polished, but too much of the menu struck me as trendy food rather than genuinely good food. We started with the deviled eggs, which were fine.

Nothing was badly executed, but the dishes gave us nothing to remember. Dessert was a different story. The blueberry tart was excellent and ended the meal on a high note. Overall, I wanted to like the Ebbitt Room more than I did. There's clearly a lot of thought put into the presentation and the concept, but for us, the food didn't quite match the reputation. The tomato and melon salad and blueberry tart were genuinely memorable; much of the rest felt like perfectly competent restaurant food dressed up as something more exciting.

The bill, however, had a bit more ambition than the meal. The base prices are fair enough, but then come the little toll booths: $2 for sour cream, $2 for American cheese, and $3 to swap in fries. None of it is hidden, and the arithmetic is perfectly honest, but honesty and generosity are not always close relations. A $76 meal becoming $99.27 after tax and tip is not highway robbery, but neither is it exactly a warm handshake. The food deserves praise. The pricing deserves a raised eyebrow. Would I return? Yes, because the kitchen earned it. But next time I'd order with the caution of an Irish farmer reading a contract written by a banker: every small addition looks harmless until the total arrives.

Service was top-notch and super-friendly from Jared, who was deeply apologetic when the oyster appetizer we ordered failed to appear - he comped a beer without prompting (and insisted upon it). Even absent this gesture, his attitude and manner made our evening - the excellence of the entrees was a cherry on top. One note and not the fault of the restaurant at all - a number of families with small children were dining at other tables. This is not an especially well-suited restaurant for families with under-5 kids. Their collective noise and behavior was more akin to, well, a Chuck-E-Cheese or MacDonalds. There was nothing anyone could do, of course.
