The Hackney - Washington

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. We were so surprised at the complete package. Big city taste, service and atmosphere. Suzanne has captured the elegance and sophistication of a 1930’s classic restaurant. Easy listening jazz ambiance. A must for your visit to Washington, NC. The downtown area is very charming right on the waterfront. We had the smashburger …..was the best we’ve ever had. The combination of the bacon, the jam and the Burger patties was fantastic. The Shrimp and Grits were the best we’ve ever had as well. The toffee bread pudding was a superb way to end the wonderful meal !! Incredible culinary experience.

Outstanding destination dining and imbibing location in Eastern North Carolina. Spacious dining room in a repurposed Bank building developed by native and her husband, who operates the adjacent gin distillery, with great experienced local chef preparing elevated dishes. Great mixologist prepare intoxicating cocktails. Great wine list. We'll worth the trip to this river town.

Fantastic food, great drinks, friendly service and a very charming dining room. Everything I had, including sampling all my friends entrees, was phenomenal! The menu rotates to ensure freshness, and that freshness really shines through.

I have come to this place several times! Came tonight. I love the food each time. The flavor is always great! The only negative comment is the portion sizes. Ordered the scallop app. Had two scallops. 20$ two scallops! Wish y’all would reconsider y’all’s portion sizes. Also having a option to order side items would be nice! The chef is amazing btw. Just increase the portions please and thanks!

I don’t write reviews very often. From the moment I walked in the front door, the staff were warmhearted, welcoming, and polite. My waitress (Kayla) had a gentle personality, friendly smile, and was attentive. I ordered the Burrata Salad, Seared Tuna, a Latte, and Strawberry Shortcake Crème Brûlée. The food was absolutely amazing.I eat at a lot of fine dining restaurants, and tonight’s experience surpassed all of the fine dining I’ve recently had in LA and Santa Monica. As mentioned earlier, I even ordered dessert and I am not a fan of “sweets”. To have a place like this in a small southern river town is a blessing for romantic nights out and guests to the Washington area. Luckily, I have a place on Main Street and can now stop by on a whim. Great job on absolutely everything! Highly recommend
