    What about the Old Ebbitt Grill?

    in D.C. & DelMarVa: Dining

    I will add that at crowded times, sometimes hapless parties are seated OUTSIDE the transplanted original interior in a rather characterless space clearly part of a marble lobby.

    I second many of the comments by Pontormo. On Friday, my dining group brought 30 people to the place for dinner [wasn't my choice to eat there lol, particularly on a Friday]. Reseration at 8:30, weren't ready for us. Had to wait 45 minutes only to be placed in a glorified mall lobby, with 3 tables being quickly setup. Food was overall bland & uninspiring. Those that got the seafood & oysters were generally happy, others not so much.

    To be fair to the mgmt, they did comp our drinks bought during dinner [not many of us, since we drank at the bar for 45 minutes waiting for our table] as a surprise. We were appreciative of the gesture & tipped the single waitress we were given generously.

    Will I go back for happies & occasionally burgers/sandwiches when I'm in that area of town? Sure...but not for anything else.

    You don't have any clues as to when the Silver Spring  branch might be opening, do you?  ABC applications in the front window or "help wanted" signs on the door? 

    ABC app? Saw it a while ago.

    About two weeks ago I saw "OPENING SOON - Positions Available - Inquire Within"

    On another board (CH), Mr Landrum posted on Feb 8th that they're looking at 6-10 weeks.

    Thanks,

    Kevin

    Sorry for not responding earlier Busboy. Works sometimes distracts me :)

    I last talked with them about 4 weeks ago. I know they were pushing hard for late March, which seems inline with Kevin's response.

    Hmmm..wonder if we should be coordinating an eG meal there on or soon after opening of the Silver Spring location. Might want to wait for the things to smooth out, but with a much larger location a "Calling All Carnivores" event might be in order :)

    Oh, & thanks for the warm welcome. Bout time I stopped trolling lol.
