For over 20 years I have enjoyed the 1789 restaurant. It had been about a year since I had dined here last. I'm very sorry to say they are not what they once were. My husband and I took my daughter for her 21st birthday dinner. At the end of the meal my husband and I agreed it was the worst 400 meal we had ever had. The plates looked lovely.. The best part of my meal was the bread and the very delicious butternut squash soup. The menu said sea scallops. And I was served bay scallops. The sauteed mushrooms were completely uncooked.

I booked for Valentine's Day dinner with my fiance. They called to confirm me a few days before the date and told me that it was a pre-fix menu (which cost 89/person). I wasn't expecting that. Even without drinks, the bill came to more than 200 (including the 15% tip). Everything was good - the service, the food, the ambiance. But... I feel like we spent twice as much as we should have for the quality of food that we got.
We do not go out very often for fine dining but we did this day for our 3 year anniversary date. My husband and I were both blown away with the service and quality of food. Service was fast as well. Will definitely be our annual anniversary date dinner :)
This restaurant is located in Georgetown a couple of blocks up the hill from the main M street. The restaurant is quaint with low beamed ceilings and cobblestone floors. The walls were covered in hand drawn pictures of the Washington monument and other historical figures. We ordered the 5 course tasting menu. I had mine with the wine pairing for 165. Without the wine pairing it was 105. The food was good however I can't say it was great. None of the dishes really wowed me that is the reason for the 4 rating. I expected the food to wow. On several dishes I had to add salt and pepper. My favorite part of the meal was the ice cream topped with gold flakes. The wine pairings were very good. I would go again but I would order from the main menu versus the tasting menu. The service was impeccable!!!! From the valet to the servers. This is a romantic restaurant, a place for an intimate dining experience.
Elegant & Refined, historic DC restaurant which has never failed me in 30 years.
