The coziest spot in town! The fireplace room is perfect for a cup of tea or glass of wine and a calm, intimate chat one-on-one or a group of friends. Can't go wrong with the food either!
Are in the restaurant but didn’t stay in the hotel: Delicious flavors with well-made sauces. A creative seasonal risotto rounds out the only vegetarian entree - but it doesn’t disappoint! Try the burrata for a fresh take on pairing citrus with creamy cheese, and ask for a recommendation for a Spanish or French wine.
Some of the best cocktails in the city. The atmosphere is unbeatable; it's *actually* historic, not because it's trying to put on a show and change its decor to fit, but because it's a historic site. They do a great job. In winter, they keep a big fire going in the actual fireplace they have in the front room. Have an old fashioned and sit by the warmth; it's great.
A fun funky place to enjoy cocktails or dinner.. live music too! The food is creative and delicious. The lounge is charming especially on a cold night in winter when the fireplace is glowing! One of my favorite places!
Went here for breakfast. I have to say it is quite good. I had the hillbilly grits and was we quite happy. Tried their donuts cause everyone recommends it and it was worth it. (Think cider donuts)
The patio area really impressed me in and it's what bummed this to a 5 star review. If open go for it.
Had dinner here on the fly. Our previous dinner reservations fell through and we were looking for some place nearby and stumbled upon this quaint restaurant. We were offered seating in the outdoor patio area, which was perfectly cooled by the breeze and fans. Our waiter paid the perfect amount of attention to us and made sure our wine glasses were never empty. There was a sommelier, but he might have also been one of the managers, he was very good and made an excellent suggestion for a bottle of wine for the evening. The food was pricey but delicious and well worth the price. I have no complaints on the evening there. There was no pressure for the table to be turned over and we spent three hours there eating and drinking. I will definitely go back the next time I am in the DC area, and will look into booking a room as well, the inn looks like a very nice place to stay.
Came here for breakfast and really enjoyed both my meal as well as the ambiance. The Inn has a classic DC feel. It's tucked away in the Topaz hotel and offers a quiet little getaway. I had the Eggs Benedict with smoked salmon which was solid. Overall good go to for a quick and delicious breakfast in a great environment.
Really beautiful interior, pretty tasty (if expensive food), but unfortunate experience. Two members of our party, myself and another who had tasted my steak, contracted substantial foodborne illness within 12-16 hours of eating it. It was undercooked by a lot. I frequently order rare, but figured not knowing the place I'd order medium rare, and it came out nearly raw with insufficient surface searing.
They also served us free drinks unannounced at the end of the meal, which would have been a kind gesture had we ordered any during the meal, but in our party was a recovering alcoholic, and we had accordingly only ordered water, juice, and soda throughout the meal.
I can see how others would enjoy this place and I'm sure it's frequently great, but I'm definitely not going back.
Tabard Inn is a lovely little bar by DuPont Circle. I've been there a handful of times for drinks and always had incredible service. A relaxing and sophisticated setting with a beautiful outdoor patio.
Have been to the Tabard Inn several times, but only for brunch and/or drinks. Prices are regular for the DC area, drinks are good but nothing to write home about, on the other hand brunch food is excellent and the small patio in the back is perfect in warm weather. I strongly encourage going at least once for brunch!
Excellent place to stay in DC (without spending half of your holiday budget on housing). The hotel is ideally located, next to Dupont Circle and within walking distance of areas like the White House/the Mall or Adams Morgan. Highly recommended!

Booked this hotel in a hurry when a friend of mine was in a desperate situation; called the hotel up after booking to confirm some things, and Tony at the front desk was extremely hospitable and offered to help my friend in any way he could since I could not be there. He brought the luggage up to the room and made them feel completely comfortable, and I will forever be grateful to both Tony and this charming inn. To top everything off, my friend LOVED how cute this place was, and the breakfast the next morning she described as delicious! Thank you Tabard Inn, and especially thank you Tony for everything!
Quaint little inn with a lot of history and character. We only had brunch there but they have delicious donuts and breakfast. The grits dish is delicious. Espresso drinks are soso but the food is pretty solid. Service is great. We had covered outdoor seating which was a lovely setting on a cool morning.
