The Occidental

Restaurant · Downtown

"This place is lined with portraits of presidents, plus pictures of celebrities who have eaten here or stayed at the Willard Hotel next-door. While popular with the out-of-town crowd, the Occidental is also a reliable place for a burger, a seafood tower, and a view of Pennsylvania Avenue." - Tim Ebner
