    Never have we seen such grace in a staff with a very large crowd eager to have their holiday meals. The staff deserves kudos for being as wonderful as the food! We've visited twice since arriving in DC. We tried chicken and meat dishes as well as pasta, salad, bread, refreshing house made sodas and divine desserts. We'd love to see Founding Fathers in Watertown MA. That would be wicked awesome! Can't rate the food or the staff high enough!

    We were seated in room with our family. It was very crowded but the staff was very patient with everyone and waiter was exceptional. This was the best buffet I have ever been to. All the foods have different recipes and you get a unique variety of flavors with each dish. I love coming to this restaurant on a regular but they made our Christmas extra special.

    Christmas Eve dinner at OEG is a 24-year tradition for my daughter and me. As always, the food was awesome. My daughter and I were quite surprised and disappointed by the lackluster greeting and overall experience when we walked in. The word "dismissive" comes to mind. Because our previous experiences were fabulous, I will look at this visit as a "one-off" one. Merry Christmas and a Happy 2025!!!

    We had a fantastic experience. Multiple staff said happy anniversary to us. We got free champagne as soon as we sat down. The servers and waiter were very attentive. The atmosphere was very festive during Christmas. I would definitely recommend this place.

    Great atmosphere and delicious food! Almost canceled our 9:30 pm reservation but so glad we didn’t. The place was packed but the service was efficient. We had both kinds of gnocchi, vegetable frites, Caesar salad and fusilli with three kinds of meat- it was all excellent!
