I stopped counting after 3 visits in the first 2 days of our time in DC, needless to say, we like Old Ebbitt A LOT! A big bonus on our restaurant scale is one where everyone can find something on the menu that makes their tummy happy. This restaurant certainly fits the bill, half a block from the W, our hotel, didn't hurt either.
Hope you enjoy this video clip of just some of the menu items we feasted upon. Not a huge fan of oysters, Beep ate them at every visit, I must admit they were sweet, creamy and lovely to slurp. The shallot vinaigrette is the perfect balance, why doesn't every restaurant offer this accompaniment?
The Eggs Chesapeake was a beautiful variation on this brunch classic, with a crab cake in place of the traditional protein. Cameron, our pickiest eater, proclaimed that the French Toast was BETTER than mine. He did redeem himself by quickly following up with, "Mom, you still make the BEST pancakes." The Fried oyster stew perfectly matched creamy and crunchy and rich but not too heavy. Every item we tried from the menu was a masterful combination of flavors and textures. One that I didn't get a chance to photograph was the Brownie Cappuccino Sundae, Bo and Camille both tried it and dug in before I could snap a photo! The simple addition of warm cappuccino poured over a chewy brownie and vanilla bean ice cream was heavenly!
