We came to Estuary for brunch to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Every single member of the staff was so nice and the food was incredible. We’ve been trying to drink less lately so we enjoyed their mocktails. The Montreal 75 was a standout! For mains we enjoyed the local oysters, Maryland Crab Benedict and the Duck Confit Hash – all incredible. Definitely recommend for brunch!

Had the most excellent dining experience I’ve had in a very long time on 7/22/23. Made reservations ahead of time as I was planning on proposing to my girlfriend at the time. The staff was extremely cordial and helped me with making it extremely special for me and my now Fiancé. The food was absolutely phenomenal , I highly recommend the hush puppies as an appetizer, and the rabbit guisado for dinner! My fiancé had the seafood carbonara and we both agree this was the best meal we have had in a long time! They even treated us to champagne and a lovely fruit tart dessert to celebrate the occasion. Thank you so much for the amazing experience!!

The food only needed to be a little better and I might have given this place 5 star simply for the service. The good things about this place is that the food on the kids menu is excellent and the service is awesome. The wines were ok but some of the dishes were terrible. The steak was so horrible I had leave it and I normally hate wasted food. Many of the dishes, particularly the salads were so salty.

We sat in a lounge designed for couples right by a fireplace. It was the perfect environment to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday.

Exceptional in all ways… the rockfish dish was divine leaving my palette pleased and intrigued. The ambiance and decor modern chic yet warm and welcoming. But the best part of my experience was being so kindly welcomed by the staff and my server, Will, as I sat alone at the bar for dinner. Although I live nearby in Maryland, I am staying at the Washington DC Conrad Hilton Hotel for a conference so l’m definitely coming back!

Loved the atmosphere, and the service was generally ok, but the experience was undone by finding a hair in my entree. Yuck.

Nice choice in the heart of DC. Food and service are excellent. We tried the caviar and it was served with a nice flavored creme fraiche and hand made potato chips – excellent. The soft shell crab was also very nice done. Service was impeccable.

A wonderful place for date night. Ambience was perfect and the staff was a delight. They even took us around to see other parts of the place that had been closed for the night just because we were having good conversation. Although food portions might seem small, don’t under estimate how full you will get, especially when eating slowly and conversing with your beautiful partner! Well paced through the night. Highly recommended.

The crispy pig ears are amazing! The massive fish was also delicious. Service was a little slow. They didn’t return to ask to refill our drinks.

Pretty big disappointment after seeing the positive reviews for this restaurant. While the staff is polite and helpful and the ambience and interior design is beautiful, the food is a huge let down.
