Ellington Park Bistro

Ellington Park Bistro has been on my radar for a while. Nestled in West End, this modern French restaurant is gorgeous and worth a visit. I have yet to fully dine here, but I cannot wait to come back after my initial bar visit. The upscale yet reasonably priced hotel hosts one of DC’s top restaurants. In a cozy and inviting space, with velvet booths and plenty of natural light, you’ll be welcomed by true care, attentive service, and refined elegance. The hosts are quick to seat you. The professional servers and bartenders greet you with a warm smile. Although prices would compare to their Michelin competitors, I felt the service was at the same level, if not better. I am so excited to return and tell you more about the full dining experience.

The service was amazing and the server was very attentive. The food was amazing. Would highly recommend this for brunch. We arrived early for our reservation but they sat us early.

Food is important, but service is everything! Our waiter Yafa was simply exceptional. He made our Valentines dinner beyond lovely with his attentive, informed and kind service. With only two weeks under his belt, he already had the menu and drinks down to a science. Every recommendation he made was spot on. We’ll definitely come back just to see him alone. Let’s talk about the food though. The escargot were light and delicious. The scallops crudo were some of the best we’ve ever had. The duck confit was the special, and it was exactly as Yafa described. Simply delicious. I’ve never had as good a dessert as we did last night. A strawberry and chocolate delight. Excited to have found a new favorite restaurant.

Loved everything about Ellington Park Bistro. The food was wonderful. We split entrees and sides so that we could try as many items as possible and there’s nothing I wouldn’t recommend.

Best French toast I’ve ever had, If I could give this restaurant 10 stars I would. Not only was the brunch exceptional, Dinner was amazing definitely try the filet mignon with sautéed spinach!

I had a wonderful experience here. While it seemed I was being attended by all the service team, one server (Lemar) really stood out!

I wasn’t having the best day but his bright smile and light hearted jokes made me feel better!!! Oh, the food was very good too! 😊

I will definitely be back — with friends next time 👌🏽

I've been meaning to give a review since I visited last year. Chef Frank Morales is top notch! The food he prepared was absolutely delicious! He came out and talked to me. I'm so impressed by him, the food and the restaurant! I highly recommend it!!!

My son took me her for my birthday. The food, service was awesome. I’m allergic to strawberries and forgot to tell them when they brought the French toast out but they were so cool about it and my food came back out. It was nice and hot and fresh. What can I say. Shoutout to the server Maria and the hostess. This is the place to go to for a delicious brunch atmosphere. Everything was on point, including management what I do it again absolutely thanks for everything guys. You’re the best.

Very nice steak and delicious desert. Friendly waiter and a nice vibe.

Lemar had outstanding service. He greeted as soon as seated. He was kind and polite. He made me the best French 75 I ever drank. I will be back just for Lemar’s service.

Had awesome drinks here!! Van makes a mean cocktail, and recommended an even better cocktail. Love him and Carolyn.

We stayed for a weekend. The room was great and so were the staff. The food and service was really good. The only disappointment was that the restaurant was small, so we were unable to get a table for breakfast on both the mornings we were there. Thankfully, there are great breakfast places in walking distance. The location was good for exploring the city.

Very kind staff, the mocktail i had was great and the cappucino was nice. <3

Such a hidden gem! Our service, food, and drinks were amazing. Highly recommend the scallop dish and our waiter Vafa was so attentive and kind! Definitely would come back again!

We had a birthday dinner here. Food was excellent. The dining room was very pretty, and we could hear ourselves talking. The staff was great. Our waiter was friendly and accommodating. The manager and chef came by to chat and check on our meal. Other staff were very attentive. Overall we felt very cared for and welcome. We will return again.

Our server Jamie was awesome as we're all the other staff. They have a great wine list and really took care of us with impeccable hospitality. The food was amazingly creative and super tasty from the salads, apps and entrées. So good.

Amazing! Food and service was impeccable! Ask for José! I would come back just for him! He is one of the best waiters I have ever had! Made my husband and I anniversary so wonderful!!

Jamie- did an excellent job in recommending the most perfect dining experience I have had a in a long time. The brick chicken topped off with the best desert was so tasty. Well done everyone.

Service was excellent. Atmosphere was casual yet fine dining experience.

I had a great time as usual at the Ellington Park bistro. The burger is a go to meal at any time of the day. The staff is very nice and pleasant. The bartender Minyae is the best. Drinks are awesome and the vibe is great.
