Tabard Inn Restaurant

“I wish I could give this restaurant more than five stars! Although we didn’t stay at the inn, we stopped in for breakfast, and I have to say, the eggs Benedict was the best I’ve ever had in my life—absolute perfection. The atmosphere of the inn was equally delightful, with its beautifully preserved vintage charm and classic furniture. Highly recommended!”

I have been a long time client of this Restaurant and a group of friends and I spent many Saturdays brunches there and this was a Saturday brunch for a fact well prepared- service very good atmosphere. great although I regret the patio being so enclosed now instead of the old parachute being stretched as a tent for the sun that was so charming it's just not the same the room upstairs is quaint not as good as the main room. I still love the one at the top of the stairs. This is how it used to be and it's still really nice -recommended.

The food was okay but the quality was less than expected given the prices. The best part of the meal may have been the bread with the porcini mushroom butter. Two of the steaks weren't cooked to the right temp (one under, one over). Nothing was particularly inspired or interesting, including $20 cocktails. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice.

A friend’s colleague highly recommended this spot, claiming their brunch is a must-try. So, we made a special trip to check it out! 🍽️ Unfortunately, we couldn’t snag a brunch reservation and had to settle for the breakfast slot instead. The restaurant is located on the first floor of a historic hotel over a century old, and the atmosphere is steeped in history. 🏨✨ Honestly, breakfast turned out to be a pleasant surprise. The morning crowd was lighter, making the dining experience quieter and more relaxing—a cozy start to the day. 🌿☕ Our Experience Tabard Breakfast: The meal was decent but not particularly memorable. That said, the service was exceptional—attentive and thoughtful. Initially, we planned to order just one dish and wait for the brunch menu to kick in, but upon checking, we realized there wasn’t much difference between the two menus. So, we ended up ordering another breakfast dish instead. Tabard Omelette: This dish caught our attention thanks to two regulars sitting next to us. They seemed to know the staff and had ordered biscuits with their meal. Intrigued by the mention of smoked paprika sauce—a flavor we’d never tried—we decided to give it a shot. We didn’t want fries, so we asked the server if we could substitute them with biscuits. The server was incredibly accommodating and brought each of us our own biscuit. 🥐 And wow, the biscuits were the highlight of the meal! Crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside—absolutely delightful. The dish itself was good, but the biscuits truly stole the show. Highly recommend giving them a try! 🌟

It’s an old and historic restaurant at an old and historic inn. The food was surprisingly good and I absolutely loved my cocktail. It came in a smoky box. The burger was cooked perfect but the bun fell apart instantly. That was the only downside. If you have to use the bathroom get ready to wait in line. That was the only downside. It’s pricy but a nice stop if you want a historic brunch or dinner.

The ambiance and service is excellent. The restaurant has lovely character and lots of unique art. Our service was also very good. Unfortunately our food was disappointing. I had the pork loin. It was a bit overcooked and dry. The sauce was nice. My husband had the chicken. He said it tasted ok but he got food poisoning and was sick all night. I would probably return for a drink but not sure I would eat dinner again.

Divine dining experience. We were seated up a short stairwell in a back dining room with a large window. The wait staff was attentive and seemed to anticipate our wants. Our water glasses were always full and the servers were polite and experienced. The food was not a long wait and when it came out, was presented beautifully and looked appetizing. My dish, the Duck Confit, was flavorful and filling. Great ambiance in a beautiful old hotel. 10/10

Absolutely amazing dinner at The Tabard Inn. It was whiskey Wednesday and we started the evening in the bar with a delicious Virginia Rye. The restaurant is so cute and feels like you are eating in a quaint restaurant in Europe. The oysters and salads were fantastic. The pork chop was Devine as was the Chicken Fricassee. We were treated with complimentary lemoncello and small carmels. Also enjoyed a very well price bottle of Virginia Merlot. Overall AMAZING experience. Can't wait to come back!

Tabard Inn is possibly the cutest hotel I've ever stepped foot in. It's the oldest continuously operating inn in DC. All of the furniture is thoughtfully selected, reminded me a little of Mallorca, with antique European sensibility. The shrimp and grits were unbelievably good. I would eat grits there every day if I could. I also loved the scones and preserves. Even the plates and table mats played into its identity. The service was really attentive, not overly present which I appreciated as I was there on business. I was so glad to stumble upon such a lovely find. Hopefully there is another 100 years in their future.

This is a traditional restaurant in the Tubard Inn hotel. Brunch is yummy, ambiance is nice!

Tabard Inn is the perfect date night spot and the ambience is top tier DC. Cozy and historic with live music playing certain nights of the week, the setting is as epic as the food. I view Tabard Inn as a go-to for comfort food and appreciate the variety on their menu. Some favorites on the menu were their autumn soup, the crab fritters and beef carpaccio. The duck was great and had Asian inspired flavors which was a fun surprise. Both of their mocktail options were wonderful and thoughtfully curated. My husband and I both agreed that a surprising delight was the mushroom butter served with the bread- we could have taken an entire carton of this home for later! Service, experience and flavors all were a home run for us.

Came here for a church event. Heard about this place but didn't know what to expect. The inside of this hotel/restaurant is very chic. It gives a modern flair to but also has some many antique pieces. The patio area was very comfy and relaxing. For drinks red and white wine was served. I am a bit of a wine connoisseur so the selections here are nothing to write home about but it did the trick. For food, I got the deviled eggs and mushroom beignets as an appetizer. The deviled head were gross, don't recommend. No seasoning, flavor or anything. It was an attempt to make fancy eggs and they failed. The mushroom beignets were amazing!! Even if you hate mushrooms I recommend you order. They weren't over powering or anything. The hanger steak was very tender and cooked perfectly. The star of the show was the chimichurri on the side!!! Wow some of the best chimichurri I've had. Lastly dessert. Opted for the rhubarb, chocolate tart. Very good. Balance of tart and sweet. 9.5/10 for me. The service was amazing!!! We had private room and the staff was on top of everything. I forgot the 3 individuals names but they were exceptional.

Great ambience and artwork. Hanger steak was great, didn't like the mini eggplant things.Duck confit was to die for said my partner. Cool hangout. Former tea room makes it cooler. I loved sitting at the bar the next night. Bartenders are dope!

Wonderful. Great food, cocktails, service & atmosphere ! Jazz on Sunday & Monday. Breakfast too. We'll be back!!!!

Wow, if I lived in DC, I'd be here all the time! Such a charming restaurant with a very beautiful waiting area. The staff here are so great! And the food is simply impeccable! Their complimentary bread and butter is out of this world. All of our entrees were delicious. We also ended with a digestif which tasted amazing. Would 100% come back!

This was a delightful and cozy place, with groaning wooden floor, metal framed oil paintings, dimly-lit medieval tavern vibes. I only wish I had gone here for a drink with friends instead of a laid-back breakfast! The food was great: the omelette was creamy and fluffy, and the house-made potato chips were so unlike anything I've had before. Sugary doughnuts with cream cheese for $2 each; a jug (not just one cup!) of black coffee for $4... everything here was really reasonably priced, too. Finally, the service was quick and polite: I went on a weekday morning, so it was probably really easy to nail the service, but I felt taken care of all the same.

I made a reservation for my friends and I for a brunch and the Inn was super cute and quiet! The food came out quickly and everyone had a great time.

Had a wonderful breakfast here on a staycation in DC. It was an anniversary day for us, and they brought us out complimentary doughnuts. They were delicious! I ordered the Tabard breakfast and my spouse ordered the Tabard omelet. They were both delicious. The biscuit was flaky and warm, and the smoked paprika sauce for the omelet was very tasty. The server was friendly and attentive, and the space is cool - old school DC charm.

Super cozy spot that is great for a winter date. Can't speak to the food, but the bartender at the back bar was a great mixologist and very friendly.

One of my favorite spots. In the winter, they have the fire going and on certain days they have a jazz duet. This place is a gem, you can listen to chill R&B at the bar or relax and mingle in the "lounge". The food is delicious and the service is always on point. We did run into a problem when the restaurant crossed over from brunch into the dinner menu. However, GIGI came over with a calming and comforting smile. She acknowledged what we were feeling and made us feel special. Sometimes, your favorite space will disappoint you after 15+ years but TIR has the secret touch when it comes to quality service, an inclusive environment, and whatever mood you're looking for. Thank you, GIGI! As always, we'll be back!!

Hands down the classiest and best restaurant I've ever been to. The food was excellent and had unique flavors and components. We went during jazz night for dinner and it was absolutely perfect, really felt like going back into the 20s with the class wood furniture and beautiful art and music (we ate in the lounge area). Our waiter was extremely kind and attentive, she was so kind as to bring my grandmother a blanket (she was a tad bit cold). Very pricey, especially as our group was 5 people. But for very special occasions, it is a must visit!!! Absolutely adored everything about this restaurant.

My first visits to Tabard Inn were in the 1980s and '90s and I always thought of it as such a special and romantic place. I recently went in the late afternoon and sat at the bar. It was so disappointing. Both bartenders were much more interested in talking to each other than in serving the customers and the drinks were pre-prepared as much as possible. So sad. Not the warm and welcoming place I remembered. Hoping the restaurant is still good, but I will skip the bar.

I had no idea this place was so good! The cocktails were amazing - especially the savory Sakura special seasonal cocktail. It's not often you find a perfectly balanced savory cocktail like this. The food: We loved the onion tart, oysters, and hamachi crudo appetizers. Also the bread service with the porcini butter - holy smokes!!! We paid for a second serving of that. For entrees we loved the scallops, chicken, and pork chop. Dessert faves were the semifreddo and soufflé cheesecake. Ambience: I was surprised by how cute and quaint this place was. The lounge could probably use an update but the main dining room was beautiful.

There was (literally) a collective gasp, and then exclamations of joy and approval from all the patrons having their Chrisnukah feast. Pooka was in top form, and grinned and wagged her entire butt as she dived into the fray. Much holiday love and adoration was had. I told all that asked that she is an Ayatollah Bordello Hound. We went up to our room to get settled in, and then went down to the bar where I sipped whiskey, and Pooka continued to hold court and get chummy with the staff. My first "real" job was at The Tabard Inn in 1977. My mom was besties with the head chef, an up and coming Austrian cook, Nora Poullion. Nora hired me as a dishwasher, and baby, I did a lot of dishes! That year in July - tropical DC summer - "Boogie Nights" by Heatwave dropped, and the pop radio stations went bananas. At one point it came on the kitchen radio, and EVERYONE in the kitchen started grooving. Then. When the song ended, the station DJ said, "People, that was too good; gotta turn that motha out again!" And the song started again, and everyone in the kitchen whooped, and everyone dropped what they were doing and started dancing, and I was over in the dishwashing station getting totally amped, and washing that pile of dishes like it was my funky mission. And THEN, the DJ played that song a third time, and the radio got turned up to 11, and the party spilled out into the bar, the Ethiopian waitress grabbed my hand and pulled me out of the dishes, and we all shared an absolute triple charged ecstasy. Radio still really mattered then. That's where you heard the new stuff. Subsequently, Nora's boyfriend, Steve told her that my mom was too old to be a friend, and that it wasn't a good look. Nora told my mom this, and utterly broke her heart. You see, mom had given Nora her first cooking lessons in Bangui (Central African Republic) when Nora was a clueless young newlywed with a French husband who had certain "expectations". In the following years Nora discovered her true calling, and became a culinary rock star. I kept the job for the rest of the summer. I highly recommend The Tabard Inn. It's employee owned, had a cool vibe, and not only is it a dog-friendly establishment, but is sincerely so. Also, as a hotel it is probably the best goddamn deal in downtown Washington, DC. I also found rock star parking out front. https://youtu.be/GTR27qWXGqU?

The ambience is so cute and classy I was obsessed. The service was amazing. The menu had great options and the breakfast and donut were to die for. I loved the back porch so cozy and fun.

The restaurant of the Tabard Inn has a cool, historic atmosphere. We came for brunch on a Sunday morning. The doughnuts and scones are excellent. Generous portions for the main courses and prompt service. The best brunch I've had in DC lately!

We had the worst Thanksgiving dinner ever with turkey so dry it would be easier to eat an old shoe, runny puréed cranberry sauce from a mystery recipe, finished with an individual round pumpkin pie that looked like a child's art project with a stiff crust and soupy pumpkin mixture covered with squirts of canned whipped cream. Even the most committed Pilgrims would get back on the boat! All for the low price of $300.

Beautiful hidden gem! The donut was AMAZING and that homemade cream yum! If you're in NW DC and are looking for a great quaint place to eat CHECK THEM OUT!

What a great atmosphere. Food was awesome. We had the seasonal Rockfish. Very good. Service was excellent. Definitely worth a try.

Snagged a last minute reservation at the Tabard on a Monday night and was pleasantly surprised. The place is very cute and quaint with a limited menu, but tons of personality. Our server was nothing short of excellent and was quite patient as we held the table for a few hours with our impromptu meetup. Don't skip the bread/butter as the butter is incredible - the bread is good too, but merely a vessel for butter consumption. The food was all good; my salmon was cooked perfectly and a great portion that didn't feel overwhelming. Grab some drinks, for sure. I had The Tabard, with tequila, and was in love. I could have kept having those for the full night - but I'm glad I only had a couple since they were quite strong.

Attended a private event upstairs. Highly recommend. Charming, cool, interesting historic building with fascinating artwork. Wonderful appetizers. Nice service. Had a risotto bar! Highly recommend!

What a wonderful experience for Sunday brunch! Four of us stopped by with a reservation, and we waited just a few minutes for the table on the outdoor patio. We enjoy the patio setting more than the indoor restaurant, but that's a personal taste. In terms of food, the meals were all well prepared, I enjoyed the steak salad, but the shrimp and grits, chicken and churro, and scrambled eggs were all wonderful. Generally for a restaurant in the Washington DC area meals can get quite expensive for Sunday brunch, however the pricing was very reasonable with each entree ordered at or less than $25. With brunch drinks the bill can add up, depending upon the drink selections (the restaurant does have a full bar). With a beautiful setting, excellent food, reasonable pricing and efficient service, this is a terrific place to go

Excellent experience with a brunch group of 10. Super cute place. A 20% service charge was added but no additional fees. We had an intimate table in a semi-private room. The portions were generous and the food was solid. I had the tabard omelet (Swiss cheese and Spinach) and it was well prepared and good. I had to take home my potatoes because it was a lot of food!

The filet was unbelievable. I had it prepared medium rare and it was perfect. Our server was great and recommended the shrimp cocktail to start. This was our first visit here but we will be back.

Came here with some friends visiting DC. I absolutely LOVED the vibe in this place - very historical, eclectic, and classy. There was interesting artwork on the wall and the inside was much larger than I was anticipating. We opted the main dining room when you first walk in because the patio was a bit chilly, and the vibe was great. I got the chicken, and to be honest I kind of wish I would have gotten something else because I don't love bone-in chicken that much. One hidden tip - the burger is not on the menu, you have to ask for it, but a couple of my friends got it and said it was fantastic. This place was great!

Tucked in the back of the hotel, this restaurant is a standout in DC! The dark wood paneling and unique art help bring a quirky local feel to the dining experience. Check out the walls, bookshelves, and the rooms you're not seated in as there is a ton to see. We sat in the courtyard, which is open year-round with heaters. There were abstract and traditional sculptures covering the various parts. It's a great choice for diners looking for a classic DC restaurant that isn't too touristy. The food and drinks were delicious. I split a salad with a friend, and it came out pre-split without us asking, which is always appreciated! It was crisp and fresh. Then for the main, I had the Farm Roasted Chicken, which I recommend with its large portion and generous sides. The staff was quick, helpful, and attentive throughout dinner. They knowledgeably accommodated meal adjustments for diets and provided helpful alternatives.

We really enjoyed our food!!! Everyone thought their food was amazing. We did a walk in, the spot is connected to a hotel. It's a little smaller inside, but they have a decent so iPad on the menu. I personally wouldn't recommend the drinks, but I would recommend food! The steak was tender and juicy. Honestly by far one of the best steaks I've had in a long time for brunch. The chicken and waffles didn't come with much chicken, but apparently tasted good. The burger I think was ground up brisket The prices are modest, it's around $15-$30 a person. Service was good, the staff was kind and provided anything we needed. The service was a little slow but not a deal breaker.

I've eaten here several times over the past 8 years and the food was always decent but tonight it was awful. I had the chicken franchise and it was in a brown sauce and it was dark meat, no breast and backed not breaded. The other dishes were also unrecognizable. The stars came from really good bar service and great bartender. I'll be back for drinks, but food elsewhere.

Came for the famous donut and was welcomed by an incredibly kind hostess and waiters. We had no reso, four people, and it was a rainy day in DC. Nevertheless, Tabard Inn welcomed us with open arms - made space in the living area, explained why they couldn't turn on the fireplace (which was very reasonable!), and warmly brought us out donuts and didn't rush us. Thank you for a lovely rainy day treat!

I was extremely excited to try this place and I walked away feeling let down in the end. Food: 6/10 (the waffle was the star) Chicken and churro waffles: 6/10- I almost thought it was a joke when I received my order! My first thought was "where was the chicken" because this is NOT what I am used to when ordering this plate and this is my go to brunch plate! After I got over my initial shock of the lack of chicken I dug in.. the chicken was flavored really well and I enjoyed the bites of bacon as well. The real highlight was the waffles though! Loved the sweetness of it all. But I did leave there hungry!! I also order donuts that never arrived, I was in a rush and by the time my entree came and I realized I never received my donuts it was time for me to leave for the airport. As for the service, the ladies at the host booth were extremely friendly and personable which I love! They gave me a really great first impression of the restaurant but my server was less than warm and a little cold. Would I return to this place again next time I'm in town, probably not.

I have been here a few times in the past several years. We visited last evening and the experience was just ok. The service was good, the beverages were as well. The food was average. We had a large group and ordered several things on the menu. A couple Of us, including myself, had the steak. A $52.00 New York strip. I've had better $20.00 steaks. Warning, if you serve a steak with brown gravy, you are hiding something. The ambiance is quaint and historic. I have found much better in the area. I was told they had a new chef, perhaps that was the issue, or just a bad day.

This review is for weekday breakfast so I would need to come back to rate other times such as for lunch and dinners. As far as breakfast, we loved this quaint historical place with whimsical outdoor touches as we sat out at the patio. Their breakfast menu covers all our wishes and ordered (1) veggies omelette that comes with a big biscuit and my company had (2) fried chicken and waffles. The DC local had recommended this place adding that their donut is a DC Institution so we ordered that as well, debating if we could also have the scones that sounded so good, but restrained ourselves with just a donut as an "appetizer "!? - wow sooo good dusted with cinnamon and so fresh ! We each took a sample bite and used will power lol and took what's left as takeout to have room for the main breakfast and boy, did we feel wise to have done that as the portions were generous on our orders. Service was polite and prompt. Water was coffee and tea refills well attended. The patio is lush with greens and eclectic stone figures. It's a delightful place to eat whether alone or with colleagues or friends and family. I'd love to go back to try their other menus and as far as breakfast, it's one of our favorite breakfast place in DC. We will be back!

Menu totally different than anything on line. Service was friendly, ambiance , amazing. I finally ordered a burger which was great but was hungry for that ribeye steak or the veal chop , that was listed on every site.

Our service was stellar, we were given new flatware and our wine and water were poured for us. The restaurant shows it's age and this place is not handicap accessible.

Ambience is amazing. Food is ok. It's not that the food is bad. It's just not fine dining worthy. There are much better places if you're looking excellent food.

I just had a wonderful meal at The Tabard Inn for Thanksgiving. I love the cozy atmosphere which sets the tone for a relaxing dining experience. The service was great, and the meal was quite delicious. Of course the turkey was tasty and moist, but I loved the salad, soup, and the sides, too: mashed potatoes, stuffing, Brussel sprouts, and roasted carrots. For dessert I chose the apple cake with apple cider ice cream, soooo good!

The Tabard Inn is a real gem. When we were looking for a breakfast/brunch spot to meet up with some friends, the Tabard Inn luckily had a reservation open when we were looking the day before. Upon walking in, you are taken aback by all the attention to detail with the decoration and how it fits into their history. The item that stuck out to me (other than the food) was the quality of the service. From the hostess to the server, everyone was very personable and polite. In my opinion, they value the customer's experience and want to ensure you enjoy your time during your visit. I ordered the Cream Cheese and Chives Scrambled Eggs for my meal. If you're not a fan of cream cheese, you probably would order something else but I thought it was a nice touch. Everything was at an appropriate temperature, and all the flavors went well together. I found the Tabard Inn while searching for breakfast and brunch spots on Yelp the month prior. The options didn't seem as abundant, but it deserved some attention when it also popped up on one of Yelp's lists. We all were pleased with our visit and would come back in the future!

We had Saturday brunch here, at the recommendation of our doorman at the hotel. It's such a cute place and food was great! I'm Filipina so was surprised to see 'Pancit' on the menu. It was not your typical version but was delicious. Our server was and the staff were friendly and answered all of our questions.

It was a great place for brunch with friends! The donut was great and the steak hash.

Overall: Whenever I have friends and family visiting from out of town/out of the country I bring them here for what I call a DC staple. I still think the food and ambiance are nice, but the quality of the service and food preparation has gone down over the last 10 years. I still think it's a decent place and will likely return, but am not sure I'd rave about it. Tastiness: Over the years I have eaten here at least a dozen times and have enjoyed brunch, lunch, work dinners, and dates. When it comes to brunch, they serve tasty pastries and donuts, solid Benedicts and shrimp and grits. The risotto dishes never fail and the red wine selection provides options even for the pickiest guests. The dishes have not evolved in creativity or quality of ingredients, so these are areas for improvement. Service: Every time I visit it gets a bit more cold and incompetent. No one wants a puddle around their water glass when staff pours it. Train your staff better! Ambiance: Cozy with good music at the right volume. Cleanliness: Not as clean as I would like it to be. I understand that they have a lot of kink-knacks, but dusting, wiping, and cleaning should not be optional. Price: It's becoming more expensive, while the quality of their service and ingredients keeps going down.

My husband and I dined here last night to celebrate our 6 year anniversary! Tabard Inn is a charming and warm place. The service was exceptional, and the food went above our expectations! We had such a lovely experience thanks to the staff there who celebrated with us and truly took customer service to another level. Thank you all, we cannot wait to come back!

Haven't been in ages, but was really pleasantly surprised. Great experience overall. Sat in the lounge at a cozy table in the corner. The service was impeccable and we felt well taken care of. The food was awesome. Really enjoyed the leek fritters with a generous helping of crabmeat, and the onion and goat cheese tart for appetizers. Then we moved on to our entrees of duck confit, perfectly cooked with a crispy skin, and the scallop dish. Both were delicious. Ignore Tom Sietsema and head to the Tabard and enjoy a delicious meal. Will be back soon.

This place is truly a hidden gem! I came for breakfast not knowing what to expect, and I knew as soon as I had a sip of their coffee that the rest of the meal would be perfect, and I was right.

One of the best brunch I've ever had! I'm not a donut person, but oh god the donut is so heavenly. It's warm and soft, and not overly too sweet. So I had to take 2 to go, lol. For Entrees we got egg Benedict and shrimp and grits, both were delicious. Definitely will be back.

Very quant and intimate setting. I was only able to make it here for breakfast, which was outstanding. On my next visit, I'll definitely check out the bar. Guaranteed you won't be disappointed with breakfast.

We came here for dinner and were disappointed with the quality of the food. The mushroom beignet appetizer we ordered was a just a hush puppy (fried mushroom cornmeal). My chicken was overcooked. My partner ordered the trout and said the combined flavors were oddly paired. Overall, the food was salty as well. I don't recommend dinner at this restaurant.

Came to have a Sunday brunch with two of my friends about a month ago. Love the vibe and aesthetic of the place, it feels very comfortable and cozy. My friend recommended we try the Tabard donut since it's well known, so we each ordered one for an appetizer before the food. Our server was very nice and let us know that he loved the tabard donut and that it was a great selection. I also ordered the buttermilk pancake stack and a side of sausage. When the tabard donut came I took one bite and realized why they're highly recommended. Delicious!! So glad I decided to try. The buttermilk pancakes were delicious and sweet, but the sausage wasn't really to my liking personally. There was nothing wrong with it, but I wasn't crazy about it. One thing I will say is that I feel that the tables are a bit small, at least the table for 3, since there were different pieces of silverware and other items on the table. It felt crowded, especially since my two friends are larger men. Additionally, there were little flowers on each table and I quickly realized that I was allergic to them so not an ideal time to start sniffling. The bill came out to $25 + tax and tip for me. I do think the side sausage is a little on the expensive side for a smaller portion, but I was happy to pay the $8 to try something new.
