Off the record, Hawk ’N’ Dove is basically a Washington monument. It reflects an older Washington that believed in politics, not just politicking. Hawk ’N’ Dove is where you can sip an Old Fashioned, hear political talk, and mingle with everyone from the black-suited, brown-shoed lobbyists, to the neighborhood folk that have been in this town since the Carter administration. Our beverages and food selections reflect our local support for this wonderful town, and if you use your imagination, you can almost hear the echo of past conversations from the most powerful people in the free world, spoken over gin and whiskey.

    Food and service were excellent. It's a significant step up from your usual "bar food." Service was fast and our waiter was attentive.

    My cousin came in from out of town to witness a piece of history on Monday and we wanted to avoid some of the expected madness in DC while still getting that DC feel. We knew Hawk n Dove was the right place for that! Food and service were both great and they had so many TV’s that no matter what you’re trying to watch, you’ll have a view! Will be back 100% to try the friend pickles and Cuban!!!!

    The manager seated us then we waited 15 minutes before asking for water & a server. Our server was very flustered. He said he was working the bar too. So we tried to be patient. It was lunch time & busy but not slammed. Huge lag times between getting him back to complete the order. Our appetizers came w our main order and our order was all wrong. I never did get the flatbread I ordered & it took a very long time to get the sweet potato fries we ordered instead of regular fries. The manager offered to discount the order but I’m not sure he did. He was working hard but we got the feeling they thought we were trying to take advantage instead of being hugely apologetic. We were extremely nice and patient.

    We went to DC for vacation. A tour guide recommended us here- the service could’ve been better. Our waiter just brought out our drinks but not our food. She never went back to check up on us, she didn’t offer us refills. We had to hunt down other staff and ask for our check.

    We had a work holiday party for 10 people and everyone loved their food, service was great, and we could (mostly) hear each other across the tables. And it was a great value for DC.

    As there was a private event on the main floor we could only sit on the top floor AND that party seemed to take all the cooks/ servers etc. thus our dinner for two took a very long time. We missed the beginning of the Folger performance We would have liked to been informed of the big party so we could have selected a different restaurant.

    Menu has changed and there are many fewer options, flatbreads were not available when we were there, further reducing the number of options. What we had was good tavern food, nothing exceptional but good service and a fun atmosphere in a convenient and historic Capitol Hill location.
