"The kitchen smokes its own salmon (as it has for 29 years); cures its own pastrami, tasso ham, and prosciutto; and bakes its own bread and pastries, so these items are awfully good."

"It's a perfect "rendezvous" for dinner in the "intimate" main room, "cozy" drinks by the fire or a "wonderful" reservation-worthy brunch in the "hidden" garden."

"The menu of this historic inn always offers a delicious surprise. The garden is lovely and the funky interior has several inviting nooks and crannies."

"Tucked at the back of a 19th-century brownstone, home to a family-run hotel, the Tabard is an eclectic and shamelessly romantic destination."

""White gloves and pearls" might suit this "distinguished" Georgetown "classic" with a "refined", "historic" townhouse setting and "expertly prepared" "farm-to-table" New American cooking."

"Ye olde colonial dining room imbues Georgetown ethos in a walnut shell. Baroque on the outside, ceremonial on the inside."

"Perhaps the grande dame of Washington restaurants, 1789 plays host to many of DC's and the nation's power players."
