★★★★☆ 4.0 Mary H · Dec 2025

We came for Brunch… I'll admit, the Instagram posts of their hot chocolate bar definitely piqued our interest and convinced us to give this place a try. While the setting is lovely, the service felt inconsistent at times, and the menu didn't really stand out. Greenhouse Eggs Benedict- prepared well and the asparagus was the perfect side. Lox and Bagel- the salmon was delicious and not salty. The hot chocolate bar was cute and fun; it’s really just a push cart with a friendly server adding toppings, which melted into the hot chocolate and was delicious! Overall, the food quality was solid, but there wasn't anything that stood out enough to make me want to return and try other menu items.

I came here with my partner for our anniversary on a Friday night. It is fancy, and there were plenty of waiters and staff on hand catering to the guests. We ordered two entrees a la carte (~$50 each), but they also had a 4 course meal available for $100/person as well. Before the entrees came out we were served bread with butter/salt/oil as well as a fried cheese ball. The bread was warm and had just the right soft and chewy texture. I think they noticed how much I loved it as they served us a second helping before our entrees came out. The entrees were okay. We got the lamb and the coq au vin. The lamb was definitely better — perfectly seasoned and cooked to medium. The chicken was okay but I wasn’t a fan of the wine sauce. Each came with some veggies which were cooked well. The oyster m

I recently visited Greenhouse in DC and had such a wonderful experience. The baked eggs with spinach, feta, and sourdough were absolutely my favorite—so flavorful and comforting. My boyfriend ordered the omelet and enjoyed it just as much. What made the visit even better is that the restaurant is dog-friendly, and my pups were welcomed warmly. They behaved like proper little guests, and it was so nice to be able to enjoy a great meal without leaving them at home. Overall, delicious food, a lovely atmosphere, and a very pet-friendly spot—I can’t wait to come back!

Our meal was delicious, service was top notch. It was an honor to eat here. The miso crusted Black Cod was fantastic, the scallop appetizer was also incredibly delicious. It was an explosion of flavors in your mouth.

Honestly this was probably the worst dining experience I’ve ever had, which is shocking considering this is a hotel restaurant. My friend had just landed her dream job, so we came here to celebrate. The food was actually fine. We’re not picky at all. What ruined everything was the staff attitude. After we paid and left the restaurant, we went to the restroom on the B floor. On our way back upstairs, we passed by a small book room that looked nice, so we stepped in for a quick look while waiting for our Uber. There were no signs saying “hotel guests only,” and that room is literally on the path from the restroom to the exit, so anyone who dines there would naturally walk past it. Then things got really uncomfortable. A security staff followed us from the hallway all the way into the room
