Walking into Gadsby's is like stepping back in time. From the decor to the uniforms of the staff you could think the large entry door also served as a portal to the early 1800's. Walked in at slightly past 2pm on a Sunday afternoon and the two dining rooms were both full, which likely led to slower than optimal service. The entree though, when it arrived, tasted great. The meat in my prime roast beef & brie sandwich almost melted in my mouth and I couldn't get enough of the horseradish sauce. The banana pudding was very good, and large enough for two, but the bananas had this strange consistency, as if biting into yuca. My drink, hot chocolate with rum and whipped cream, was perfect for a cold winter day. Bonus points for not packing the tables too close to each other, a rare find these days.
Outstanding service and food was just as outstanding. Had the French onion soup and the Filet mignon!!! Would definitely be going back!!
I go there to practice an English country dance class. But I came here for the museum when I was on a business trip to DC area. It is a historical place where President George Washington visited. Thus the building is very old but I like its authenticity of the building. It has a small gift shop where the staff is very knowledgeable n sweet. If u like history, this is a must place to visit.
Great drinks. Did not have food but loved the decor and the dress of the wait staff. Super traditional and hard working, well trained. Highly recommend.
Sadly we did not get to go to the museum itself but got to eat at the tavern. It had a really good atmosphere and we loved the ambiance of the place. My husband and I went here for his birthday and honestly quite disappointed. The waitress was really lovely though but the food was just mediocre. I got the the fried oyster sandwich as recommended but I didn't really particularly enjoyed it, the citrus cocktail and the lemon wedge is the only thing that gave it a taste. My husband got the prime roast beef and brie dipping sauce, which he also did not enjoy, I've tried Brie before and loved it but this one was just off putting. The coleslaw though was good, I quite like it. We informed the waitress that it was my husband's birthday and she was kind enough to give us a free dessert with a candle. My husband chose a creme brle and I got a strawberry rhubarb pie. I'm just sad it did not live up to our expectation, maybe colonial food isn't just for us.
