Edgar Bar & Kitchen

Edgar Bar & Kitchen offers a fantastic dining experience with delicious food and a stylish atmosphere. I tried the chicken sandwich, and it was absolutely delish—perfectly cooked, flavorful, and satisfying. The service was great, and the ambiance made it a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal. Whether you're there for a quick bite or a full dining experience, it's definitely worth a visit.

While staying at The Mayflower we came here for drinks one evening and the next morning for breakfast. For drinks, the bartender helping us was great! Very friendly and helpful… I believe his name was Edwin – Props to him for a great experience! They make decent cocktails and have a very nice by-the-glass wine list. For breakfast, service was ‘ok’ but could have been a little more personable and friendly… Tho, I will say our server was attentive, keeping us filled with hot coffee! But charging someone who came to visit us for a cup of coffee even though he brought a cup in was ridiculous. Coffee should be free in a setting like this…. Not $5! Also, the hash skillet sounded good and looked nice, but the hash was basically a thick cut corned beef that was diced up in the kitchen and barely heated up (it was mostly cool) and served under the eggs. There was no flavoring to the corned beef, nor the fingerling potatoes in the dish – so bland. The scrambled eggs on top were cooked perfectly though. Overall – Mixed feelings… Pricey and not worth the price for breakfast is my summation.

During my recent visit, the Edgar Bar & Kitchen, situated within the grand Mayflower Hotel, Autograph Collection, offered an elegant dining space with refined leather seating and beautiful wood trim. The maître d' was welcoming, and my waiter was attentive in taking my order for Brioche French Toast with Applewood Smoked Bacon, a single egg, and coffee. While the coffee and eggs were perfectly prepared, the main dish proved deeply disappointing. The first serving of French toast arrived cold and stale, suggesting it had been sitting for some time. The replacement order was only marginally better - still cool, and accompanied by overcooked bacon. Only after the manager intervened did the third attempt deliver what should have been served initially - hot, tasty French toast and properly cooked bacon. Unfortunately, this came after a 30-minute delay and two rejected plates. For a restaurant in a prestigious hotel, this level of quality control is troubling. The initial servings suggested a kitchen practice of using pre-prepared items rather than cooking to order, falling far short of the standards one expects from an establishment of this caliber. While the ambiance and service staff met expectations, the kitchen's inconsistency and apparent reliance on non-fresh preparations make it difficult to recommend.

Latte with pastries in bed simply amazing! Lunch at the restaurant was also great!

This restaurant is located in the Mayflower hotel. The hosts were always very accommodating and gave me some really great seats even though I was dining alone. I think a lot of business people stay here because there were a lot of single tables. The food was great! I had a few breakfasts and lunches while staying at the hotel. The servers were very attentive. My only issue was at one dining there were fruit flies landing on my food. I was seated at a table near the bar and I think they were coming from there. It only happened once out of a few dining experiences, but once with a bug landing on your food is enough to warrant a lost star. Other than than I would have giving five stars. Maybe next time.

Edgar's is a favorite of ours. We ate multiple times on our week long business trip. Lovely drink and food menu. They make a great old-fashioned! We ate here for apps and drinks and dinner and drinks. Bar area is lively and large area with a lot of seating! You can sit a the bar, they high high tops and booths in the bar area and a lounge type seating area in the front facing the hotel lobby. Dining in the main area has windows facing the street. Highly recommend.

Beautiful bar in a historic hotel. The lamb chops (Xmas menu) were so good, meat cooked to perfection with the well prepared sauce and sweet and fresh asaragus and our son loved his chicken wings a lot. Highly recommend!!!

We stayed here for 4 days and had breakfast and dinner here almost everyday. Breakfast coffee is very good, the banana bread is one of the best in my opinion, other things are also good but not as impressive. We love the Tuna nacho in dinner menu, it comes with mango bites and seaweed. Avoid wild mushrooms in the sides, it’s not washed well so I got some sands with every bite… flavor was good but I won’t try again… Service was lovely, they told us where Edgar Hoover sat and let us took a peak into the that area. Price is very decent, for a nice hotel restaurant. We’ll come back again. :)

We were staying at theMayflower and the Edger Bar was convient as its in the hotel. No problem getting a table. We came early and hung at the bar for a drink before dinner. Service was good no problem getting drings and the food came quickly. Maybe too fast. The Halibut was over cooked making it very dry. The Chicken was a very interesting flavor combo. However if you going to over cook chicken you need gravy to cover up the mistake. The Shrimp Risoto was cook right and was very tasty. I think this could be a nice place if they changed the menu to match the chef.

The issue this place has is its inconsistency, as evidenced by reviews that are all over the map. I experienced this inconsistency myself across visits but also across the course of a single meal. I have been a few times for drinks and apps after work and it was nice enough - cocktails are a little pricey but good, and service was maybe a little haphazard but we were at the bar and it was busy. I would recommend this for happy hour because the ambiance is great and the location is super convenient for people coming from a lot of different areas and the food and drink *can* be quite solid. For instance, I had the brussels small plate during a happy hour visit that was tasty and also very ample. Likewise, the parmesan fries. Also, the lunch menu is not just vegetarian friendly but vegetarian-exciting because they incorporate impossible meat by default into several of their dishes, including a tortilla soup and a baked pasta. But then I had what was not one of the worst but one of the *weirdest* lunches I have ever had in a restaurant and after that I just cannot recommend this place for a sit down meal, particularly having read other people's similar experiences and knowing that even after enjoying myself at happy hour I still had caveats. We arrived at the tail end of a weekday lunch service. The hostess was honestly pointless. We came in through the exterior door on Connecticut but she was stationed at the hotel entrance so we walked over and she thanked us for coming because she thought we were exiting. Lady, you've never seen us before. So then we asked for a table for two and she put us at a 4-seat high top in a hallway even though much better tables were available that were for two, so we politely asked for a better table. Our server started off pleasant and attentive - quickly taking our drink orders and returning with them - and he remained *pleasant* throughout the meal but attentiveness tapered off to a point that we had to repeatedly ask for refills. Bussers walked by our table repeatedly without clearing empty plates and we had to ask to have dishes taken away. We got the $14 corn elote dip and the portion was absolutely pathetic (see pic), which is totally inconsistent with my past Brussels sprouts orders, which were quite large. And it wasn't a fluke because the dish it came in was super tiny. And then there were our entree salads. My fiance ordered a basic house salad and added chicken and he said it was a perfectly adequate salad, other than having much too much dressing. Mine however is where it got weird. On the menu there was a crispy pepper shrimp salad. Thing is, it came with carrots and strawberries and a chipotle ranch dressing. Looking at the menu it just seemed strange but I really wanted those shrimp and it was between this and an impossible burger, which I can get anywhere, so I went against my gut and got the shrimp salad. Well. There's a reason that salad isn't available anywhere else. It was like 3 salads all fighting for dominance. The shrimp was Asian. The dressing was Mexican. The greens and strawberries wanted to be a field salad. None of it went. Which is unfortunate because each element was delicious on its own and they just didn't work together. Plus the greens were absolutely slathered in the dressing so it wasn't possible to find any kind of delicate balance in what I was eating. Strawberries. Chipotle ranch. Sweet and spicy shrimp. This was truly awful. And I was still hungry after and ate a whole tuna baguette from Pret. But the weirdness does not end with that bizarre salad. I guess we came late because, while there were plenty of other diners when we arrived, they had all gone by the time we finished and we realized...no music. And the staff wasn't talking to each other. It suddenly felt like a funeral. Every glass being put down on the other side of the large restaurant was completely audible. We could hear the metro rumbling beneath us. It was so quiet that we found ourselves talking in hushed voices without intending to get quiet, it just kind of happened, and then at a certain point I found myself watching my fiance eat his salad in complete silence. It was truly uncomfortable and bizarre. I just...no. I want to like this place. It has so much potential. But it's like people pretending to run a restaurant rather than actually running a restaurant.

This is the restaurant located within the Mayflower Hotel. I sat at the bar on a weekday evening and received terrible service. They would come over to clean dishes but not take my order or provide my check. I only tried the rigatoni with a side of zucchini. The pasta was flavorless and lacked sauce. The zucchini was actually very good. I would've tried dessert but I couldn't get the bartender to come back over. Atmosphere is cozy but loud and the staff didn't seem like they could keep up.

Bad experience. Firstly, our three person party got seated at a small, two person table, while there were parties of two sitting at large four person tables. This made for an unnecessarily uncomfortable experience. The food was bland and the eggs were overcooked. I had the corned beef hash with poached eggs and one of the eggs was way overcooked. The omelette was also bland and half of it had no stock. Service was overworked and understaffed. Wouldn't come back, and the mayflower hotel should do better than this.

I came here to have a drink. The daiquiri I had was pretty good and refreshing. I liked the ambiance of the restaurant. It was modern and sleek.

We had some time to kill before the Comedy Magic Show, so we bellied up to the bar that we found in the lobby of the Mayflower Hotel. Seats were comfortable and Bartenders looked like they had been working there forever. Very old-school DC feel. Husband had their Manhattan, while I ordered a Whiskey Sour. Pricey at $19 each but both descriptions sounded extra good. The Manhattan had Rittenhouse Rye, Carpano Antica, Cynar and Angostura, while my Whiskey Sour had Buffalo Trace Bourbon, Lemon, Sugar, Egg White and Angostura Spray. If you're going to pay that much for a cocktail, let it be good ones like this. Both were terrific.

Service was absolutely horrible Food was delicious but the waiter disappeared and never showed her face again

Bottom Line: Located inside the Mayflower Hotel and more than adequate for a hotel bar and restaurant but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. My husband and I visited Edgar while staying at the Mayflower Hotel. We dropped in for drinks and an appetizer. We sat at the bar and enjoyed attentive and friendly service. I enjoyed a pricey cocktail while my husband quenched his thirst with a local beer. Although my cocktail was a bit steep at around $24 it was very strong so it was kind of like having two drinks and for that it was a fair price. We also shared a flatbread which was very good. the decor was cozy and we enjoyed the overall experience at Edgar but its not a place I would make a point to return to unless I was staying the Mayflower Hotel.

We stayed at the hotel and tried to take advantage of the restaurant but it was an unfortunately disappointing experience with food. The mood looked great but lacked nearly all flavor. We did come for cocktails two nights. The first night was great. The second night, our drinks were completely undrinkable, with a weird overly salty egg foam. Fortunately, our server and manager did create a new cocktail.

It is a really pretty restaurant and the ambiance is neat. Edgar looks comes of as a fancy hotel bar & restaurant. Here is what I thought of the food and drinks: Draft beer and Wine is good here. They clean the lines so it still crisp and refreshing. Cocktail is average to good depending on what you are used to. They aren't a cocktail forward bar despite how expensive the drink menu is so the cocktail won't wow you. Here is what I like for food: The side of Brussels Sprouts was crispy and good. Jumbo Crap Remoulade was good. Chocolate Tuffon was really good. There is a hint of coconut. Chicken wings could be a slight over done but very crispy. Here is what I didn't care about: Side of mushrooms was heavy salted so be away. Roasted oysters were okay. The confit chickens was disappointing. It came out as fried chicken with a overly sweet bbq sauce on it with a Korean inspired slaw but the slaw was confusing

This restaurant in the Mayflower hotel is great! We've been here a few times over the years and they always make it special! Went with my hubby to celebrate my birthday this time and all the staff was so friendly. I started with the poke nachos and they were excellent and it was a large portion! My husband's beet salad was also a great size and very yummy! I had the steak frites for dinner while my hubby had the baked ravioli. Both were excellent! We ended dinner with the sticky toffee pudding and chocolate dome cake...wowza, they were both SO good!! The food, service and ambiance were all so great here...we'll definitely be back!

Good restaurant located inside the Mayflower Hotel. Staff is friendly. Ate here for both lunch and dinner. Had lunch to go and portions are large. Chicken sandwich was very good. Dined in for dinner - wasn't a fan of the grilled oysters, I'm from New Orleans and had much higher expectations from them. The dessert is great! I loved the ice cream cookie sandwich.

Breakfast was really nice here. My favorite was the pancakes because they were fluffy and tasted good. Thanks to all the team here for a welcoming atmosphere.

My wife and I had breakfast on Saturday and Sunday. Service was excellent on both days. Meals were hot and ample. Coffee was endless for $6 and all our meals were under $20 each. Best breakfasts servings were the ham and cheese omelette, the avocado toast, and the fruit bowl. Falling behind were the French toast and the banana nut bread. It's charming but bustling and loud...but the best option when staying at the Mayflower Hotel.

Maybe I'm not sophisticated to appreciate quality but this is my second visit to Edgar as we stayed at the Mayflower hotel. Anyway, Edgar Bar and Grill is part of the Mayflower hotel. I guess there is a price for convenience but I didn't expect $18.25 for glass of basic Chablis.

Decent food and service, but abominably slow for breakfast. The wait for a table at breakfast ran 30-45 minutes. There were 25 people ahead of me at 9:20am. I was seated at the bar at exactly 10am. Apparently, they were under-staffed and poorly managed. I could see several clean empty tables as well as several that had not been bussed. There wasn't a good reason for the line to be so long and move so slowly. An indicator of disorganization: after being seated at the bar and ordering, I was asked to change seats so a group of three could sit together at the bar. This is something I find very annoying. Especially in this case when I could see there were still empty tables elsewhere! The "hostess" at the front door wasn't actually seating people. She just told me and several others to find a seat at the bar. As far as I could see, the lucky people who got a table were just pointed to it.

I wanted the chicken sandwich because I heard it was really good. I'm trying to be more consistent with my periodic plant based journey, at least sometimes. Lol. I'm completely aware that will not always be the case but if I see an interesting vegetarian dish on the menu, I'd like to give it a try. So, I ordered the mushroom pappardelle instead. It's a thick noodle pasta with mushrooms, walnuts, cheese, and some fresh herbs. I'm always impressed when I have a pasta that doesn't really have a sauce but still taste yummy. That's exactly what this was. There was no sauce but there was like a seasoned oil situation going on. It was perfect for the dish because the pasta wasn't dry and it was still flavorful. I really liked the mushrooms they used in the pasta but I'm not sure what kind they were. Definitely not like a traditional mushroom or a portobello. It was a little more meaty, maybe shiitake. I also enjoyed the walnuts in the pasta. They gave it a different type of texture, and I think walnuts and mushrooms pair well together for some reason. I would definitely order this dish again. But next time I come back, I'm trying to chicken sandwich. My friend had it and it looked amazing.

Edgar is situated inside The Mayflower hotel! I'm usually not a huge fan of hotel restaurants but Edgar is a great option if you want to stay close and want something easy and quick. Chicly decorated it makes you feel like you're in a cozy bar in NYC. Their dinner focuses on American classics and their burger is perfectly cooked (Med rare) and their fries are always crispy - get a side of aioli! For breakfast, I love their homemade banana bread and salted butter and their avocado toast. Their sourdough is thick and chewy and it's topped with a thick portion of hand smashed avocados + everything but the bagel seasoning and two eggs! It's nice having light options within a hotel that are fresh and not just microwaved - nicely done Edgar!

Edgar Review This restaurant is inside the Mayflower Hotel in downtown DC - wonderful location! The ambiance was very sexy: low, soft lighting, comfortable seats, and a fine looking bar. We stayed at this hotel last week for a conference & decided to grab a bite for dinner. We weren't in the mood for anything heavy so decided to try a few apps. 3 dishes ordered: 1. Grilled Chesapeake Oysters - flavorless. The description had garlic butter but we didn't taste any garlic..just a lot of oil & butter - a little on the heavy side. The charred bread served with it was tasty. 2. Fried Green Tomatoes & Crab Remoulade - I think this is one of the best apps I've tried in DC. The crab remoulade was meaty, tender, and well-flavored. I thought it would be a remoulade sauce with a little crab but it was a lot of crab with a decent amount of well-flavored remoulade. Only drawback - I wish the temperature of the FGT was a little hotter. 3. Parmesan Fries - good but could've been hotter. Definitely tossed in some type of garlic butter sauce that should've been in the oysters but was delicious on the fries! All in all - great time here & service was excellent.

Great service, everyone is smiling and nice. The bus boy was amazing, made sure everyone had plenty of water and coffee. French Toast with Berries was great. Served hot and with the side of bacon it was perfect. Now the Corned Beef Hash?????? Not quite sure what the seasoning was it kinda tasted like Thanksgiving Dressing. My bad I thought that if they featured it, it must be good. The scrambled eggs that were served with it were very good. Cool decor and again all of the servers were super nice. Our server was Alex he was great!

Gosh, this was wholly disappointing. Service was slow, unresponsive, and disinterested. Customers seemed to be an unwelcome inconvenience even when it wasn't particularly busy. Food was extra mediocre. Cocktail program looked to be really interesting and creative based on the menu, but repeatedly over the course of many days only a couple of the more basic options were available, and the more intricate drinks were "out" or "not prepped" by the previous shift. We were urged to come back and try again at happy hour, but nothing was available then either. There were laments of short staffing and large parties as rationale for our experiences, but no apologies or concessions were made. It apparently just is what it is and we're welcome to not return. So we won't.

The ambiance was nice and the food was tasty, but I don't think it was worth the price. The staff were pretty scattered when we were there, though it could be because we came at busy times for them. Our group got a few of their breakfast and brunch dishes during our stay at the Mayflower hotel, and of them the one that stood out the best was the coconut chia seed breakfast bowl. It was all very tasty, but overpriced for what it was. Something notable I found a little funny was they have a bagel with cream cheese for $5 and then a bagel with lox and cream cheese for $20. I tried both and I would recommend that if you want a bagel, just get the $5 one, the $20 one doesn't add anything thats worth the extra 15 bucks.

Dropped in at Edgar for a business lunch this past week. I was very happy with my poke bowl, and the menu had more interesting choices than previously. My colleague had the breaded chicken and seemed happy with it. The decor remains the same -- sort of the dark wood and metal that conjures up what elegance was a hundred years ago. Probably more our modern imagination of what the past was like than what it was actually like, but restaurants aren't historians. Service was OK. They took our orderly quickly and brought the check quickly.

We had breakfast at Edgar while staying at the Mayflower Hotel: We tried many of their breakfast items (pancake, oatmeal, egg white omelette, grain bowl, avocado toast, eggs and sides ...) and some of their pastries (including their banana breads) over a week. All menu items had great quality and presentation. Ambient is very nice and takes you a few decades back in time. Kitchen was generally slow but service staff were all courteous and attentive. Special thanks to Meron, who served our table for majority of the week.

Service is excellent at this hotel restaurant, and that kept us coming back to try different menu options. Edgar feels different depending on the time of day you visit, but overall it is a warm and inviting space. Steak frites was delicious on our "date night." Yogurt parfait and avocado toast were fresh breakfast options. Cocktail menu was fun to explore. The only thing that really needs improvement are the flatbreads. Margarita one is not good - uncooked, unseasoned cherry tomatoes that have been cut in half is not the move, and the dough wasn't cooked. Edgar is a nice cozy spot for a date or casual dining if you are staying at the hotel.

New Year 2023 Stopped in the bar to get a drink to take back to my room, I ordered the Old Fashion it was very good! Would definitely recommend this if you like old fashions, my goto drink. Breakfast 2023 Wife and I stopped in for breakfast this morning after a wonderful evening staying at the Mayflower hotel, Edgar's is in the hotel lobby. We were seated at the counter by the bar the restaurant was pretty busy, we sat for a while before our server came over to take our drink order. Wife had water and I had a cup of coffee he Boris our drink and then walked away so we waited a while and finally another server came by and I asked if we could order. The new guy was excellent he was refilling my coffee and my wife also ordered ice tea with her meal. Our food came out it looked really good the wife ordered the fried chicken sandwich and I had the eggs Benedict(my favorite). The chicken came with French fries and my Benedict came with fries potato's, the chicken sandwich is a little spicy so if your now a spicy liker get the sauce on the side. My Benedict was ok I've had a lot better for $22 the sauce was cold and very thick and it had a mustard flavor to it. Needed to be hot and thinner and more of slight yellowish color from the egg yolks and creamy and the potatoes needed a few onions deep fried in them to make this a good breakfast. I understand I was at the Mayflower hotel but if I'm going to be charge $63 for breakfast it should all be delicious and no issues.

Cocktails were good - a whisky sour and some house drink. Clam chowder was good but served lukewarm vs hot. The server, knowing that we were splitting the risotto, arranged to have it beautifully plated in two separate portions. It was also quite good. But what totally killed the evening was an unruly group of about 8 inebriated individuals in the bar, who spent over 2 hrs from 7-9, and clearly before and likely after, screaming loudly, creating an unpleasant atmosphere for everyone else. The servers seemed uncomfortable with the situation, but did nothing. The manager, when called over, did not speak to the group and ask them to lower their voices or leave. All he offered us was maybe a drink "to go". Not ok.

Fun quick cocktails - pretty great manhattan abd martini for a hotel bar! A fun break on a busy musuem day.

I really enjoyed brunch at Edgar Bar and Kitchen! Delicious food and reasonably priced food in a swanky hotel in the heart of DC. Pros: Ambiance: The Mayflower hotel is beautiful! The Edgar bar is nestled in the hotel, you just walk through the big glossy lobby and make a left. The Edgar bar and kitchen feels sleek and modern, and minimalistic. It is spacious and there are various seating options that give you plenty of room to spread out. Overall a very relaxed and chill vibe! Friendly service: The servers were highly attentive and very friendly. They made helpful recommendations on the food, were quick to refill beverages, and brought the food out quickly. They were also just really nice and professional! 10/10 service here. Reasonable prices: I found the prices here to be very reasonable compared to other restaurants in the area. The portion sizes were solid as well-- not overwhelming, but definitely enough food to fill you up! For brunch for two, I paid around $50 before tip! Good food: The food was really delicious! Very comforting food, buttery and warm and everything that you want in a modern American brunch Not too crowded: I showed up around 12:30 for Saturday Brunch, and the restaurant was almost fully empty! More people started rolling in at 1:00 and the restaurant started to fill up, however it was not overwhelmingly crowded and I didn't notice anyone waiting for tables. Cons: None-- no cons at all! I will certainly be back to Edgar bar and Kitchen-- this is such a great spot with wonderful service and tasty food. I highly recommend.

Ambiance was great! Also, well made drinks. Would definitely go back to try more on their menu!

Our flight was delayed so we checked in around midnight at the Mayflower. We had breakfast here because we were pressed for time the next morning and we were very disappointed: cold, watery, barely cooked hash and $6/person coffee! Not doing this again on our 7 night stay.

Nice vibe, good drinks, but food is overpriced. Overall it's not bad as a hotel bar or quick bites if you are staying in the hotel, but if you want a reasonable priced nice dinner then maybe try some other restaurants nearby.

I was robbed for a really subpar dinner. Steak Frites and 2 beers for $80. If this place was good, that's one thing, but unfortunately it was no good.

Service was great but in terms of quantity and quality of food I wouldn't say it was the best. We went there for breakfast and came back after dinner for drinks.

I was in DC for work staying at the Mayflower. My work days were long so I didn't get a chance to leave the hotel very often. Having a restaurant attached to the hotel that had really good food was so convenient and made my stay so much better! The portions are a very good size and everything tastes so good and well made. The staff is incredibly nice and attentive. They were very conversational and made sure I had everything thing I needed. They also had a coffee bar up front which was perfect for my early morning starts on the go. The atmosphere was a perfect mix of a dimly lit coffee house and relaxed dinning. I never felt out of place, overdressed or underdressed. It was perfect.

Expensive but the food was delicious and the service was great. Had the ribeye. Fried whole mini potatoes and oyster mushrooms. Had enough for breakfast the next day. Also had the oysters. Just meaty enough and highly seasoned. Super good. Definitely get those.

Came here for breakfast on Sunday after spending the night at the Mayflower. There is plenty of comfortable seating. The service is a bit slow and not as attentive as I would have liked; coffee mug was empty for quite some time before it was refilled. The food is mediocre. Eggs were cooked perfectly (over easy). Potatoes tasted a bit raw. Sausage was pretty terrible.

While staying at the Mayflower Hotel, we enjoyed a delicious dinner and excellent service. I enjoyed and would recommend the clam chowder and the mixed green salad, which was plenty for my dinner. My husband enjoyed the scallop entree, which he said was perfectly cooked. Whether you are a hotel guest or looking for a great dinner, suggest you check out this restaurant. And...save room for dessert!

Really good Old Fashioned with Angel's Envy. Decent mature vibe. Spacious bar and sitting area.

A good spot for breakfast or brunch. The service is good and in a good location. Their avocado toast and pancakes are really good.

They have a pretty great old fashioned The staff seemed easily co fused. There was a lack of communication amongst staff a lot. They were friendly, but very confused.

This is strictly a review of their breakfast. Even in the morning, it was very much a fine dining experience top to bottom. The food was however not very reflective of the staff and the effort they put forth to make this a perfect dining experience. I order the poached eggs on corned beef hash. The corned beef wasn't very fresh, and extremely greasy. However, the potatoes and eggs carried the meal to victory with the perfect eggs and amazing hashed potatoes. Not to mention the jams they provide for you. They are divine. If you're staying at the Mayflower, you should definitely check out Edgar's. I would love to come back one day and try the dinner.

Had drinks and starters with an old friend here during a recent short trip to town. The ambience aims for intimacy, with a touch of conspiracy. (After all, they advertise that J Edgar Hoover was a regular.) But it's a bit too harried for that - at least before dinner. Nevertheless, the staff is very helpful and accommodating. We had the flatbread and Brussel sprouts (with drinks I can't recall right now), which were both quite good.

This would get a much better review on the cocktails alone. However, do not make this your nightcap stop. Staff glower at you incessantly as they want nothing more than for you to leave so they can lock the doors at 11:45. Well appointed. Shame.

Very meh. We are vegan so nothing on menu for us to eat but wanted to have a drink or two. Has stools with backs at bar, big plus for comfort. Very mediocre drinks, bartender was nice but clearly not experienced at making cocktails: my drink was way too sweet and my boyfriend's martini had chips of ice floating in it. We were staying at hotel so would've been thrilled if this was a good bar. But unfortunately it was not and we only went there once in our weeklong stay.

Food isn't bad, felt it's a bit overpriced and the portions are a bit small. Service isn't very good. They were very slow to take our food orders, drinks, check etc.

Good service, great ambiance, incredibly underwhelming food. This place has the right pedigree but lacks the menu which reads better than what is delivered through you table. Stop by for the bar and vibe but skip the food.

For an upscale hotel (The Mayflower) restaurant, my Brother & I were pretty surprised by the mediocracy with the service & the food missing the mark. Even with Breakfast & Lunch menus to order from, we simply could not click with what seemed to be simple items, Flatbread & Avocado Toast. The latter, which I requested to be re-made due to the not so fresh Avocado & extremely rustic bread that was too hard to chew. & the Tequila Grilled Shrimp on the Flatbread was baby Cocktail Shrimp...there is a big difference between grilled & raw. Edgar Bar & Kitchen provides room service for the hotel. Yet, there are numerous of dining options within a one-block radius. The highlight our visit was the exuberant employee assisting the Bartender & whomever else needed a helping hand. I/we will not return to Edgar.

Came here for breakfast and it was a disorganized mess. Sat at the bar and took a while to get served because the server was somewhere else. Took almost ten minutes to then get a menu because nobody could find one! I ordered four scrambled eggs and two orders of bacon. 20 minutes and three cups of coffee later, still no food. The food eventually arrived - good bacon, soggy eggs. At least it was hot.
