Fourth Estate At The National Press Club

Excellent experience. I plan to have dinner again this year.

The scallops entree and the rockfish entree both were superb done exactly as requested, seasoned beautifully and accompanied by asparagus spears that had the bottoms of the stalks shaved to ensure tenderness from end to end. The only complaint was that they had run out of comment cards so that my dining companion and I could not rave about the meal in writing!

The quality of food at the fourth estate has really improved. Our meal was delicious. The crab cakes were excellent with no filler. The rockfish was tasty and crispy. The lamb was tender and succulent. I would definitely recommend the restaurant.

Love the ambience of the dining room and adjoining spaces. Spent time before and after dinner perusing the pictures of notables and press correspondents. Predictably, my guests and I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation and consumption of a variety of entries and sides: Crab cakes, Rockfish, and New York-cut Sirloin. We indulged ourselves with a delightful dessert of apple-cranberry cobbler with ice cream. Service was excellent and our waiter was very attentive and attuned to our needs. As a constructive criticism, we would suggest more latitude in selection of an alternative white wine, an inexpensively priced Riesling, in lieu of the Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio options that were within our pre-selected menu card offer. Overall, we enjoyed the dining experience.

I always loving coming to this restaurant. The location is so accessible and the building is lovely. It is fascinating to walk the halls of this historic building. The dining area is elegant yet accessible. The service is always top notch. But the real star is the food. I have had everything from crab cakes to a veggier burger to rabbit to lobster grilled cheese. Everything is phenomenal. And don't miss dessert, even if you are full (which is easy to do since the portions are HUGE . I love taking people here to impress them and the prices are very accessible. A wonderful DC staple :
