An upscale, modern eatery, EDGAR features traditional American brasserie cuisine and authentically crafted cocktails.

Bringing the spirit of the grand bar back to Connecticut Avenue, EDGAR embraces the history of its legendary location and is poised to be a iconic yet modern fixture within DC social and cultural scene.

    I have all my business and personal lunch meetings at Edgar over the past 10 years. It is a comfortable, quiet, well appointed restaurant and easy to find. I highly recommend it as a great meeting place.

    From the moment we arrived, during happy hour, the hostess was very friendly and attentive. Our waiter was equally friendly, and described how the citrus slices were dried in an air fryer. The only glitch was that the menu was incorrectly annotated as to which menu items were gluten free. I was not able to have either of my first 2 choices, as they were not truly gluten free, as marked. Unfortunately, I had ordered red wine for the now-forbidden beef. The third choice, the halibut, was fabulous. The manager brought a glass of white wine to compensate. They should fix either the menus or the recipes. Had I known in advance about the lack of gluten free options, I would not have chosen this restaurant. I hope they fix this problem.

    I just enjoyed a lovely lunch with a good friend. The tuna and mango poke bowl was so delicious I would highly recommend and will be back for more. The service was excellent as usual.

    The food was good. The elote dip and chicken wings were very good. My husband had the ribeye and I had the seafood risotto and we both enjoyed our meals. While the food was good, I would say it was a very average meal. It was satisfying but not something I would need to have again. Service was also average. The restaurant is very convenient for those staying at the hotel who want a reasonable meal that is easily accessible.

    We ate here 3 times because of convenience as we were staying in the hotel. Every time the food was near tasteless and disappointing and while some of the staff seemed nice and helpful, the equal number that seemed annoyed to have to provide service made it a negative experience.
