Lafayette - Washington, D.C.

Food was great, service absolutely amazing, but WE COULD NOT GO TO THE ROOFTOP!!! I made the reservation based on the pictures on open table and Instagram but the restaurant is not on the rooftop, you can go there to see the view, but not always

We had reservation on a Thursday, and we were the last table seated. The wait staff is impeccably trained however, we were rushed to place our order(before cocktails), the first course arrived in moments after the cocktails, the main course far from properly spaced. The waiter made a few errors in the order, nothing material , but was annoying. Food was absolutely perfect, coffee and desert perfect. We are from out of town and will come again but they need to understand even if you are the last table you should be treated like the first

Wonderful experience for an elegant and memorable birthday celebration. From the gracious and helpful reception in the classy lobby of the Hay Adams Hotel, to the friendly and competent bartender, Martin, in the iconic Off the Record bar, to being immediately seated at our appointed reservation time at a quiet and separate table. The service was knowledgable and expert. From wines, amuse bouche, to main course to the elegant deserts plus a birthday Napoleon with candle. Hit all the notes I wanted for a classy celebration. Memorable. We will return

Lafayette Room does not yet have its magnificent brunch buffet back, presumably due to Covid. But it is still a lovely venue for Sunday brunch. The menu is good, food is good, waitstaff very competent and professional. Be aware that th St is torn up and you have to approach from the White House side

Was looking forward to a nice Sunday breakfast with my family based on the reviews. Unfortunately, had a very disappointing experience, server was extremely rude and off putting. Would not recommend and will never go back. Plenty of other restaurants in DC who value their customers and treat them with respect. This is not one of them
