Dating to 1856, Old Ebbitt Grill remains one of D.C.'s most beloved, historic restaurants. This boardinghouse-turned-saloon was a known haunt of President Grant and, given its proximity to the White House, has hosted numerous other Capitol Hill elite since converting to a full-service restaurant in 1971. Many a political deal has occurred over gin and tonics at the mahogany bar, while hearty portions of frittatas and buttermilk pancakes have helped push political policy amid the polished leather banquettes. Creative American lunch, dinner and weekend brunch favorites offer much variety, while the oyster bar remains one of the area's best and best-known. Full bar. Serving breakfast Mon–Fri, lunch and dinner until late-night daily. Sat–Sun brunch 8:30 am-4 pm.Voted Best Oysters in the 2009 City Paper critics' poll.
