My boyfriend and I were there last weekend for brunch on a Saturday morning. I dont know why this place wasn't packed. We were the only ones there. The food and service was excellent! The warm donut holes were to die for. The breakfast hash and hamburger were great. Those fries though, oh my goodness, amazing! Also, they have very good and spicy Bloody Mary's. Beautiful interior. I would definitely go again the next time I'm in DC!

One of my fav spots to drink in Dupont. Gives off this small cozy vibe. They always have great specials. Staff is really friendly. Awesome place to grab a beer, Moscow mule, shots or some mixed drinks before starting out your evening. Place is going under remodel soon with the new owner

Went here for brunch. It was a bit pricey. Overall it was a good place and enjoyable but pretty unremarkable. The donuts were good and the hash was pretty unique. Not a bad spot in a good location. I will say the staff were very attentive.

The Darlington House is a very nice brunch or dinner place. The food is good and the staff very attentive. Try it for a date or a birthday dinner, you will not be disappointed.

Good atmosphere for eating with a group. Came with a reservation and a large group and had to wait for an hour after the reservation time to get our table but the staff took us to the bar downstairs and gave us free pizza. The tiramisu dessert is tasty.

Really yummy food! And there are levels to this! The bottom level is a bar, the mid level is outside and the upper level is classy! Please try the frozen rosé, nachos and lasagna!! On all levels the food and service are amazing! I would return!
