We came here last month for their Valentine's Afternoon Tea and it did not disappoint! Located inside the beautiful hotel, The Darcy. Our server took a while before coming to take our orders and was a bit inattentive rest of the time but was very friendly. The teas we chose came in our personal glass pots. Nuit à Versailles for me and Jardin Bleu for my friend. Both were fragrant and good. We were brought out the 3 tiered tea tray with savory on the bottom and sweet on the other two tiers. The scones were provided on a separate plate. I love little tea sandwiches so you can try a few different items. The ones provided were all so good! We also loved the scone with the clotted cream, butter, and jam. We did get a little full to have all our desserts but they were also all equally as good. What a fun experience and at such a great place! One of the more "affordable" afternoon teas in DC and I'd definitely come back. read more

TLDR; food is good but not great. Convenient if you're staying at The Darcy. Vibes - the restaurant is cute with lots of spacious booth seating. I went around 8:30 and the vibe was pretty moody with low lighting. Food - the Korean wings were good with a nice crunch but needed a bit more flavor. The Caesar salad was bland. I had to ask for more dressing just to make it taste like something. read more

We stayed at the Darcy Hotel and decided to eat dinner here with our team. It was a group of about 20 people. I ordered the Ramen and others ordered the hamburger. We all enjoyed the food and drinks and the prices weren't bad. I didn't like that there isn't an easy to access wheelchair ramp. Our coworker had to enter the restaurant from a backdoor that looked like the kitchen (very awkward) and I also didn't like that they do not really split bills. We had to venmo or Zelle coworkers to pay. This can get tricky for large parties. read more

This is my third time coming here, and I'm finally sitting down and writing a review! I truly enjoy the aesthetics and vibe of this place. It is nice to come and grab happy hour, cocktails, bites, or dinner. They have extremely comfy chairs to catch up with friends and loved ones. Our bartender that took care of us on multiple occasions, is Nadeem. He is so attentive, professional, kind, and quick. The cocktails and items he suggested were superb. My friends, family, and I cannot wait to come back - and we definitely want to be taken care of by Nadeem! Restaurants leave their mark when they have delicious food, great service, and a beautiful atmosphere - all of this is check, check, check! read more

Our servers were nice, but we were seated for almost a half hour before we could get attention (and they weren't especially busy). They messed up our order, but the food was good once it came out. While the front of house needs to get tightened up, there's obviously a chef in the kitchen. read more

Came here for restaurant week and was gagged so hard by their brunch. This is probably the best restaurant week brunch I've been to as the dishes exceeded on all marks. The space itself is nice inside (tho some of the booths r weird because they can connect a 4 table to another 4 table?) and it's a bit smooshed. The deal was also 25 dollars for 3 courses which was huge slay But the run down of everything I got to taste and try: Shrimp Tempura: I think they had like rice puffs this was coated in which added such an interesting texture and took what can be a heavy dish and made it not as heavy. The shrimp was well cooked and the sauce was spicy and complimented the dish well. Korean wings: These chicken wings were incredible. Perfect flavor that had a slight tang and the meat was cooked perfectly Shakshuka: Spiced so well and the baguette that came with it was so toasty and warm Egg white Marsala: this was probably one of my top dishes. I'm not an egg white fan but they added so much flavor into the egg white and the paratha bread with it was exceptional Short rib hash: beef was cooked well and came with a poached egg on top. Good chunk of potatoes on the bottom. A classic you can't go wrong with French toast: it was good but not great. It did have a berry compote on top which was vibrant and added good flavor. Friends really enjoyed it Pancakes with coconut rum sauce: my other favorite dish of the day. The coconut rum sauce paired perfectly, it had rhetorical refreshing taste of coconut but a deeper darker flavor because of the rum. Had to get another one for the pancakes because it was so goooood read more

We stopped by The Gatsby for happy hour, and overall had a great experience! The drinks were extremely strong (in the best way possible) -- big thank you to the lovely bartender for that. We ordered the truffle fries and the shrimp tempura. The shrimp tempura was a little on the bland side, but still fine. However, the truffle fries were the star of the show -- perfectly crispy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was great for happy hour, and I'd definitely come back again for drinks and those fries alone! read more

The food was great but the service lackluster. We had brunch on a Sunday and there were never more than 5 tables seated between two servers. Coffee poured and he had to bring cream back. The coffee was warm when it finally arrived. The great touch and kindness was a complimentary and delicious birthday dessert for my friend. read more

The food was very good and at a great price. Le was an amazing server with great recommendations. Would definitely recommend this and I will return again! read more

This is by far the absolute worst meal I have ever had? And by far the biggest waste of money I've spent in a LONG time. The service was TERRIBLE and the restaurant was EMPTY. I am so disappointed. The salad was so disgusting. So much cilantro, iceberg lettuce and no dressing. The pasta was exclusively salt. There was zero taste. Just salt. The meat "dish" was worthless. I will never be returning here. Save your money! read more

Chose Gerrard Street Kitchen to celebrate a birthday and it was a wonderful evening. The restaurant is located inside an upscale boutique hotel, the Darcy. The dining area too is upscale and elegant. Jazzy music played in the background, but very softly so conversations can be conducted at normal speaking volume. The menu is traditional American, but with European and Asian influences. Such dishes include beef Wellington, paprika scallops, sushi, robata grill items and curry chickpeas. We shared a guacamole and chips starter. I had the impossible burger and my companion had sushi. Everything was top quality and beautifully presented. The guacamole was creamy and fresh. The burger was on a toasty brioche bun and came with crispy fries. The nicest surprise was the birthday dessert with candle presented at meal's end. It was a light meringue mini cake torched at the top and surrounded by a passion fruit sauce. The chocolate oval with happy birthday written on it was a nice final touch. Service was very attentive and polite. read more

Stopped by the bar after hearing great things about this establishment and it did not disappoint. Had a seat at the bar since I was visiting solo. Was welcomed by Haley and she was able to provide a great menu recommendation. She was very attentive, even while busy tending to the bar and multiple tables. I tried their version of the espresso martini and it was great. Will definitely be returning to try the food and more amazing cocktails. The ambience was sophisticated and sleek, as a hotel bar should be. read more

If it weren't for the customer service, this would've been a five-star review. I would like to give this place another chance though given it has such good reviews from others. Our personal experience just was not it. Ambiance - Located inside the Darcy Hotel, this place is beautiful. There was a nice outdoor area to eat as well. It's very pretty on the inside. It would be nice for a date night or a girls night. Customer Service - Just no. Where do I start? When our food arrived, some of the food was missing. When we asked for the missing food, they told us we would be charged. It took a while to explain that it was the food that was supposed to come with our meal that was missing. We finally thought we had it straightened out until the bill came. Sure enough. When the bill came, they had charged us extra. They finally agreed they had made a mistake and said they would fix the bill. I don't understand what it took to fix the bill, but I had time to wait around for them to return the bill to us, decide to use the restroom, use said restroom, and return to the table still with no bill. It had to take 10-15 minutes for them to fix the bill; and it took two people. I'm glad we weren't in a rush. Very frustrating overall. Food - The food was outstanding. Gotta give credit where credit is due. The caramelized bananas were something I've never had before. Now, I don't understand why more restaurants don't have this. :) Also, top five french toasts I've ever tasted. Overall, if we had a better customer service experience, this would've been a stellar visit. We'll chalk this up to being a fluke and try it again one day. read more

Visited their location inside The Darby Hotel. The ambiance is great. Love the set up. The service was a bit slow for a New Years Eve prefix menu but the food and drinks were good. I'd come back. read more

Delicious happy hour alert! This spot is located inside a hotel so it can be easy to miss. However, they have a great happy hour! Tried the taco (yes it's 9 dollars but the size is good). Juicy and flavorful Chicken wings: I guessed these would be a fave and I was right. Crispy,saucy and have a great sweet spicy balance. Legit could have ordered another one of these just for myself GAMBAS AL AJILLO: this was one I didn't expect to be such a favorite but it was. Shrimp coated in a delicious combo of EVOO and garlic served with a side of crispy butter bread that's perfect for dipping. Not picked in the sushi of the day which was just ok for me . However I believe their happy hour sushi roll changes so I'd def try another one when I come back. Everything was so quick and servers were kind. A great happy hour if you want something for a good price but also want to feel a bit fancy read more

Nice place for brunch with friends. I got the eggs benedict with a green smoothie and it hit the spot. A bit pricey, but hey it's D.C. Service was really good and food came out quickly. A good place to check off your bucket list, but not sure when I would be craving this enough to come back. read more

Recently ate here a few times on a work trip and overall it was good! Service was wonderful! Prompt, so kind and had great recommendations. For breakfast, they had a mix of creative and traditional options but I went with the American breakfast with eggs, twice fried potatoes and chicken sausage. Everything was well cooked and delicious but my colleague got the curry eggs and masala and it was AMAZING. Highly recommend. For dinner, their menu is a pretty standard American upscale bar menu but since they are located inside The Darcy, they do happy hour from 4-6 everyday and today was free wine and sushi! Both were such a nice touch and the creative California roll was delicious (a spiced up version of your traditional Cali roll) read more

Gerrard Street Kitchen is a decent spot on the street level of the Darcy Hotel. I've heard amazing things about their happy hour and brunch , but unfortunately dinner left me wanting more. Drinks were okay (nothing special), and we loved the Indian Spiced Paratha Tacos appetizer. And my other dinner companions overall liked their meals: the Chicken Tagine, and the Tiffin: Garam Chicken. The primary reason for the 3 star review is that my Smoked Paprika Scallops & Shrimp main course was served with just two small scallops, and two medium-sized shrimp - for $39! I'd expect a full meal with a full serving of protein for $39 and was left extremely disappointed and unfulfilled with what was served - but at least it was still deliciously tasting overall. I hope that portion sizes are more worth their menu price, as this new-ish local spot near DuPont Circle continues to find its groove. But until then? Proceed with caution. read more

Beautiful restaurant, great service, amazing flavors. The Cherry Blossom special menu was amazing. The sea bass with crispy rice cakes was delicious. The floating island dessert was light and perfectly balanced. My grapefruit mocktail was flavorful and gorgeous. I did not enjoy the lightly dressed multicolor cabbage salad, but I'm not a raw veggie fan. I only in town for a bit, but I might need to come back tomorrow. read more

The Masala Egg Whites were delicious and had a really good flavor. The pancakes were light and full of flavor. Would have liked to have had a larger water glass because he had to fill it multiple times. Service wasn't as attentive as we would've expected for this level of restaurant. The dining area was very cozy and intimate. read more

I went here for dinner tonight as I had previously been here before and I had a wonderful time. The location of this restaurant is within the Darcy hotel. I had a reservation, but was promptly seated earlier as they had availability. The decor in this place is impeccable. The staff was very friendly and attentive. As a bonus, they also had a live violinist playing which was a nice touch. I had the Korean crispy wings which I could've eaten several servings of those as they were very delicious. The sauce is a mix of sweet and spicy and even though the wings are well covered in the sauce, they were still very crispy. I highly recommend that if you get nothing else here, get the wings. Afterwords I had the "What A Match" roll which is composed of spicy tuna, shrimp tempura, avocado, Unagi sauce, and scallions. The presentation of this dish was beautiful and this dish tasted as good as it looked. For my entrée, I had the salmon bibimbap. This dish comes in a very hot bowl with the sauce on the side. The salmon skin on top was very crispy and once combined with the sauce, all of the parts of the dish were delicious. The only complaint that I would have about it is that the rice seemed to be a tad undercooked versus crispy from being in the hot bowl which I didn't particularly care for. Everything that I had was well seasoned and the combinations of flavors worked very well together. I thoroughly enjoy this place every time I come here and I'll definitely be back again. read more

I love this place, hidden gem. This is an amazing place, food and service are excellent. We will be back for sure!!

Came here randomly with some friends on a Friday night. The restaurant is located in the hotel. The food was actually tasty but the service was horrible. I'm not sure if it was due to Covid understaffing or what but we had several issues with our order and bill that too forever to resolve. I don't think I would ever come back here given the service issue and the fact that it is in a location that really isn't parking friendly. read more

Atmosphere and ambience are really nice here, it's a very elegant location. Came for the brunch and although the food was good, there just weren't a lot of choices, it seemed very limited. The prime rib was delicious but that was about it. Extremely overpriced for the choices and an automatic 20%tip and 20% service fee were just ridiculous.

OMG! This place blew my mind . I went for lunch during restaurant week. From the pictures all I could think about all day was the wings . Hoping that it would live to expectations. 1000/10 . I'm gonna be talking about the wings for a long time. It was a three course lunch for $25 and we added the $25 bottomless mimosas. We did the Shrimp tempura and the chicken wings for the first course. It really did set the tone for the rest of the meals because nothing disappointed. Second course was the shakshuka and the short rib hush and our last course was French toast and pancakes. Wait staff was also very friendly. Nice ambiance, there was a keyboardist playing some nice tunes. read more

I went to Gerrard Street Kitchen for bottomless brunch during restaurant week. I liked that the pre fixe menu offered multiple options for each of the three courses. I got hash browns, and açaí bowl and french toast. The shrimp tempura was also delicious. I wish you could switch between mimosas and bloody mary's (there's a whole bar for the bloody mary's) but you have to choose one and stick with it. I don't like bloody mary's but having the option of getting one whenever you need it at the bar is nice, whereas you have to wait to be served mimosas, which takes some time, so you might hit the bottom of your glass (I did a couple of times) before you get a new one. The service was friendly but a little on the slow side. The food overall was good, and I'd recommend hiving it a try for something new. read more

This place is ok. We went there for restaurant week and had the brunch. I had the mushroom tart which was much more pizza like in appearance and kind of bland. Then the scrambled eggs, which had a surprising ginger element but almost no taste otherwise. It's hard to screw up eggs. Then the pancakes with a brûléed banana. Tasty but it was pancakes. Doubt we'll be back. read more

This is a very nice hotel restaurant at The Darcy. We made brunch reservations on OpenTable but yet when we got there they said they just closed. Thank you to the kind manager who honored the OpenTable reservation and seated us. Food was a solid 5/5: American breakfast and omelette. Service charge of 18% without much explanation leaves me baffled about tipping (just make it clear for patrons). read more
