Frommer's "The kitchen smokes its own salmon (as it has for 29 years); cures its own pastrami, tasso ham, and prosciutto; and bakes its own bread and pastries, so these items are awfully good." Full review
Zagat4.2
"It's a perfect "rendezvous" for dinner in the "intimate" main room, "cozy" drinks by the fire or a "wonderful" reservation-worthy brunch in the "hidden" garden." Full review
Gayot14.0
"Revisiting one of DC's most charming yet least publicized restaurants is much like a trip down memory lane." Full review
DK Eyewitness "The menu of this historic inn always offers a delicious surprise. The garden is lovely and the funky interior has several inviting nooks and crannies."
Time Out "Tucked at the back of a 19th-century brownstone, home to a family-run hotel, the Tabard is an eclectic and shamelessly romantic destination." Full review
Washington Post Editors' Pick
"The beautiful surroundings offer a place to talk, to relax and unwind with contemporary American food." Full review
Afar Magazine "What I love about the Tabard Inn is that most D.C. visitors and transplants have never heard of it, yet this place requires a brunch reservation 2 weeks in advance." Full review
Not For Tourists "Romantic rendezvous."
Fodor's "Fading portraits and overstuffed furniture make the lobby lounge look like an antiques store, but this hotel restaurant's culinary sensibilities are thoroughly modern." Full review
The Infatuation "If you like jazz and don’t mind being youngest person in the room by 20 years, you'll enjoy the live music at Tabard Inn on most evenings." Full review
