Laurie Meacham: The oatmeal chocolate chip ice cream sandwich is amazing. So is going to the Pennsylvania Ave. location on a Saturday afternoon - very quiet, great service.
Michael Bardin: I've driven 6hrs on a whim for oatmeal chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches.
Psychic Soulfull: Try their new Farmhouse Salad. It's really good and the veggies are super fresh. Personally, I always make it a point to ask for extra dressing since the salad is pretty big. Read more.

yy 9dorf: The food is great but the ginger ice cream (served over a plum crisp) was to die for...
jana mcandrew: For 3 scallops, $35 is a little pricey but they were AMAZING. The rice and sauce that accompanied the dish was delicious and filling. Will definitely go back there for a special occasion.

Behrad Eats: For dessert, there's no question, go with the Georgia pecan pie with bourbon ice cream, praline lace crumble & caramel
Annie Foster: A must try!! The shrimp and grits are delicious, can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Ask the bartender to make you a Tobacco Road.

New American Restaurant · Connecticut Avenue - K Street · 23 tips and reviews
Maura Grace: You must try the Almond Toffee cake with Caramel ice cream w/ salt and apple compote, delish!
Michael Miller: Try the hazelnut dacquoise with salted caramel ice cream and candied peanuts. It's the best faux Snickers bar you'll ever have.
Sandra Lovi: Tasting menu is a must. Do it without the wine pairing, definitely add the lobster and split a bottle of white or red for the table!

Sensei Smiles: The Sunday dessert tea is terrific, delicious sweets and cakes great tea!! Be sure to see John Lennon's letter to the laundry in the John Lennon Suite it's hilarious!
Gilt City: There’s so much to look at—the Mansion is crammed with antiques and curiosities, almost all donated by former guests—you won’t know what to take in first.
Tim F: We were there for brunch but you don't really go here for the food (which wasn't bad). You go for the experience of seeing and riding the Mansion. That was interesting enough to warrant a thumbs up.

Midy Aponte: A favorite place for good conversation! Try the tuna sliders. Delish!
Tammy Gordon: Great spot for a clandestine meeting. Enter through lobby. Door downstairs to left of elevators. Concierge has phone chargers.
Jordan Balderas: Extremely disappointing for foodies or cocktail enthusiasts. Maybe it was an off night. However it may be, it was not the best hotel bar of America.
