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.

Decent food, exceptionally poor service. For the price, there are other French restaurants in DC/Nova with similar menus that will offer a far better experience. I cannot recommend Ellington.

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.

Pretty good! And pretty expensive. I know everywhere is expensive now but I’m still trying to get used to this new reality. $42 for a small piece of fish feels like a LOT. Good thing it was tasty (this was the branzino). The coconut sauce with the mussels was very good but the mussels were chewy. Fries cooked the way I like ‘em. My favorite was the cauliflower side dish, which had dates in them. Inspired! Had a nice glass of Syrah too. The place is small and cozy. Our server Angie was quirky in an adorable way. If it were 25% less expensive, I’d come here more often. If someone offers to take me out for a business lunch, I’ll suggest it!

Good experience. Went for restaurant week. Got a the spring fling cocktail (refreshing), the casaer salad, the veal (swap the arugula for mashed potatoes mayhaps?), and the choux. It was a slow dining experience – not Caribbean slow, but I appreciated how they didn’t hustle us out like most places for restaurant week. Would go back for a drink and a small bite.

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