    steak, fries, tomatoes, and ketchup
    Yolanda J.

    Great spot for lunch or dinner considering it's a restaurant in a hotel. My favorite is the Capital 80 l, you can thank me later. The steak was prepared well and the salty fries have it the perfect balance.

    Vegetable frittata...and yes, that asparagus is as perfectly cooked as it looks!

    I was at a conference at the Capital Hilton and ended up eating at North Gate by default--didn't have time to go anywhere else. It's a really beautiful restaurant, surprisingly. They do a breakfast buffet, which actually looked really good, but I ended up opting for the veggie frittata. It was great, with tomatoes, grilled onions, goat cheese, herbs, and a huge spear of perfectly steamed asparagus on top. It came with red potatoes, which were meh, compared to everything else, and also a tomatillo salsa. They serve this fantastic strawberry jam with entire strawberries in it. We ended up asking for another dish of it and cleaned that one, too. All of the ingredients seemed like they were very high quality (organic tea, beautiful produce, etc.). I left very impressed!

    Not cheap, but food was delicious and service was excellent. I had avocado toast and it was so loaded I couldn't finish it.

    Good food. A bit overpriced. If you are looking for this type of atmosphere, you can go better in DC. Try Lincoln or Baby Whale!

    What a special place in Washington, DC we have here…read more It is said a lot of members of congress dine here and I can understand why. Everything is delicious here!!! I started here for my birthday with some escargots, fantastic. Pro-Tip: Don't forget you can dip that terrific breadbasket they give you with some of the leftover garlic sauce from your escargots. We both decided to split the Beef Bourguignon. The most tender beef you can imagine, you do not need a knife to eat, and it was accompanied with buttery goodness in the creamy potatoes and some carrots for good measure. For dessert we ordered the vanilla bean crème brûlée. French dessert at a French restaurant was a no brainer. The top of the dessert packed a crispy, sugary, slightly burnt tasting palate cleanser that definitely will keep you a pick me up, who needs an ECT shock to get the heart going when you can take a scoop of pure sugary bliss! This is a must go to if you are in the DC area, but be sure to make reservations it fills up quickly. As always people SYOY!!!

There were 6 of us and we had about 1.5 hour wait... for such a busy restaurant, we were ok waiting and our flight wasn't for several hours. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Once in, they stored our luggage in a closet behind the host station. I thought that was very nice as we didn't know where we'd be putting it. Our server was very friendly and offered recommendations. We ordered a few bottles of mimosas and they came with 3 juices. (calamansi was my favorite juice) we also had hibiscus lemonade and Hawaiian Punch. I had LOADED BREAKFAST BISCUITS and it was very delicious. I subbed regular sausage for turkey and it was on the side. The picture doesn't do it justice because I found myself wanting to try and recreate this recipe at home. The vibes were good.

Service was a little slow at first, but the food definitely made up for it. The chicken & waffles were incredible: juicy, tender chicken with a crispy-on-the-outside, soft-on-the-inside waffle. The shakshuka was equally flavorful and had me feeling like I wasn't even in the DMV! If you're looking for a unique brunch spot, definitely add this one to your list. **I'd recommend making a reservation**, especially with the foot traffic from the nearby convention center.

Honestly we were so pleasantly surprised by how good the burgers are! I had the Capital Burger which had such incredible flavor and the burger itself is thick and juicy. Despite having just had a big dinner somewhere else, as I write this, my mouth is watering. My daughter had the wild mushrooms burger and she loved it -- the aioli had the perfect tang to go with the mushroom and Swiss, both burgers were cooked perfectly medium as requested. The old fashioned was just your typical old fashioned with a slice of candied bacon attached to the outside of the glass. We were hoping for something smokier and a little different but it was still a very good Old Fashioned. We shared the chocolate mousse and it was perfection. Yum!

I had the blue cheese and black truffle cheeseburger, with bacon, and it was good. . Very good. I could not identify or really pinpoint where the black truffles came in, but the beef was well seasoned. The additions were a dollar too expensive across the board so I skipped those. The fries were sort of stereotypical, nothing really fancy about those. I debated about having the truffle fries, but didn't really wanna pay the extra three dollars. Bless my server, he didn't know what black truffles were, either. The Reesie's peanut butter cup Skrewball milkshake was quite good. Good use of Skrewball. Could've done with a little more alcohol, but what a great combination. Good taste. Vanilla ice cream and peanut butter all the way through. My only .. concern.. were the pickles. There's this NoVA chain restaurant that serves POPCORN before the meal, which I think has to be the most depressing, unappetizing, lazy and cheap way to start a meal. Capital Burger servers sliced sweet pickles in a jar. That.. is a step up from popcorn, but not by much... If I was in the mood for a burger and boozy milkshake, this would be on the list, but not my first choice.

I sat outside on the patio. To start, I got the calamari appetizer. Yall! Their calamari is so freakin good! The remoulade sauce that comes with it just takes it to the next level. I got the crab cake entree and it was just what I needed. I recommend replacing the tartar sauce with their remoulade sauce. The Tea Time mocktail was very refreshing. The service was good. The only downside is that there was an issue with the gift card that I won from their social media page. After some back and forth, they eventually honored it and all was well. But this experience was definitely better than my past experience, so I'm adding a star.

Runners just do that. Run around the restaurant throwing food down on tables and run back to the kitchen. Never checking on anyone to see if they need anything and how the food is. I ordered the SW Salad ($16.50) with a steak add on ($9.00) at medium temp. I also ordered a cup of Clam Chowder ($5.95) as an appetizer. 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.
