Delicious! We made reservations since we heard they were very busy- glad we did! I had the filet and my husband had the ribeye. We started with Oysters- so good! The first question our waitress asked is, anyone have any allergies? Love this! Definitely recommend!

GF items are marked on the menu and all pastas can be made GF. Waiter asked about allergies when taking our drink order. The restaurant was packed for dinner but we got a table after waiting 45 mins. I got the half chicken and it was delicious. My meal was marked with an allergy tag, so I felt safe eating there. Also got GF bread with butter.

Ate here last month and got sick. Not sure what happened because the waiter was very attentive and the food came out marked for an allergy. I got the roast chicken and veggies. I am very sensitive to cross contamination but very disappointing to get sick here

Did not get sick eating here. I had the chili and steak frites. Waiter immediately asked if anyone at the table had allergies, was very knowledgeable and my meals had allergy toothpicks in them. The cocktails were also delicious! 10/10 :)

My daughter has celiac and they were great here. Very knowledgeable, she ordered GF pasta off the kids menu with French fries and sorbet for dessert. It came marked with an allergy marker and any questions I asked about what they had available to make GF they were responsive. Beautiful restaurant, but felt comfortable eating there with our three young kids. Highly recommend!

This is my go to restaurant for eating out. They take allergies seriously. I order the Shrimp Spaghettini. Yes, they have gluten free pasta. You have to ask for it. I also love the Big Beef Sandwich. They have gluten free dessert options too! I have eaten here multiple times and never had an issue. Thank You Old Ebbitt!

Came for breakfast. There might not be a specific gluten-free menu, but this is a very allergy-conscious restaurant. Offered my daughter gluten-free bread in replacement of the biscuit (The Statesman breakfast), and also marked her plate with an “allergy” marker.

The host and staff were very knowledgeable. While they did not have a separate menu, they have options, and the servers knew celiac. Further, they asked if there were food allergies that they needed to know. They do have a dedicated frier for "frites," chicken wings, etc. In addition, I asked about the ketchup bottle and if they refilled it. The server quickly answered that once the Heinz bottle was empty it was discarded. Food was delivered with a marker for "allergy" and handled separate from others at the table.

The food was very good. Menu options are limited, but they have dessert options.

In town for the weekend and needed a gf/vegetarian and kid friendly place with nice menu and bar for adults. This fit the bill perfectly. Host actually has celiac so gave us the lowdown on the menu, including safe things not noted on menu, and server was very knowledgeable and accommodating. All fries are gf and variety of gf pastas are made in-house. Gf peanut butter and chocolate pie was delicious. Dishes prepared with any allergy in mind came out separately and labeled. Food was excellent.

Went here bc we heard they were good with allergies - I have gluten, dairy and soy allergies which make it hard to eat out most places. Our server Nate was excellent, making sure my meal was safe and making modifications as needed. They have a dedicated GF frier and don’t use soybean oil so the French fries were safe for me (very unusual!) Our meals were so good we came back a second time during our vacation. Steak salad (no cheese and lemon vinaigrette instead of the normal dressing) was delicious, as was the hummus with veggies instead of pita. Highly recommend for allergy awareness.

Fantastic service even at the bar! Scott was our bartender and both husband and I are celiac. He got steak salad medium rare with bacon and blue cheese. I got steak and eggs with side of sautéed potato halves and it came with a side of dark brown gravy sauce. I have additional spice allergies (cumin, turmeric, coriander, cinnamon) so gave them my card for those and the meal was delicious! Also drank ciders from bottle they were good, and ordered espresso martinis for finish. Lovely experience, no one got sick yesterday or today. And menus is labeled with little GF signs next to each dish. My food came out with a little wooden stick labeled ‘allergy’ sticking out of my steak. Seperate chef or waiter brought my food out by hand to make sure the right food got to the right person and wasn’t misplaced in translation. I’d recommend when you order, if you are celiac, you just say you have a gluten allergy.

Really happy with this restaurant- ambience, service, menu. Was our favorite all around while in DC. They definitely knew cc and celiac. I didn’t know bread would come automatically so had to request some gf bread after the regular came and it took a bit so I’d recommend asking for that when you order drinks so it comes out at the right time. Dedicated fryer, my daughter had steak and fries and really enjoyed.

Recently came here for an anniversary dinner and we really loved it. Very cool historic atmosphere, even still use real gas lamps. I told our waiter about my allergy and he was very understanding, even ran back to the kitchen to ask the chef questions for me. They put a little allergy toothpick in your food too so you know they were aware of it in the kitchen. We got the Elote Loco corn dip as an appetizer and it was amazing. Got the salmon as an entree and it was okay flavor-wise but I didn’t get sick from anything! Would definitely come back, especially because it’s in a great location.
