Avenue Grill - Washington, D.C.

I booked a dinner for a party of 12. We all went and came to discover the restaurant is not open for dinner. Please update your information to not keep others in the same situation

The food was tasty and the service was good. Two people having one appetizer, two salads with meat, and two soft drinks, spent $70 plus tip. That’s quite expensive for lunch on a rainy day during a conference.

The rating reflects the fact that when we got to the restaurant, we found it CLOSED. We were not the only ones, there were at least three other parties in the same situation. it is unbelievable that a hotel restaurant would allow Open Table to issue reservations for it, that same afternoon, when it was not going to be opening that evening. We had to settle for eating in the 1331 Lounge, across the lobby, as we had tickets for the National Theater and did not want to start looking for another restaurant. The 1331 Lounge did offer us the opportunity to order from the Avenue Grill menu. However, the 1331 is designed as a bar/lounge and not as a true eat-in facility. We ordered from the 1331 menu.

We wanted to have brunch before seeing Rent at the National Theater. Avenue Grill was very convenient. They had a wonderful variety of foods, all well prepared. I got to enjoy a bagel and lox, grits to which I added cheese, charcuterie, a very well prepared omelet with a nice variety of fillings, and some breakfast pastries. It was nice that juice and coffee were included. Only problems, even though it was not listed on the omelet ingredients, they had cheddar cheese which should have been included on the ingredient list. And the website said if we showed our tickets to the National Theater, we would get a 20% discount. The waitress said they are not doing that this year, so it should be removed from the website. Overall, an enjoyable meal.

The menu is limited and the selection of dishes is a bit out for a hotel restaurant. Serve some normal articles va get all imagination with dishes that don't even sound good. have not been dining back here
