Reviews
I've visited Gatsby twice this month and I want to shout out my servers, Demoyea & Emily. They were both great and very accommodating. Before you go, please note that even with a reservation, your entire party must be in the building before you can be seated. Not parking, not on the way.. in the building Okay now for the food.. they have a few good items and some misses in my opinion. My first visit, I tried the deviled eggs, chicken & waffles, and cinnamon roll. Everything was just okay. The deviled eggs could've used some relish to set it off. It was smooth but it was definitely lacking in the flavor department. The chicken & waffles was cool. I love dark meat so the chicken was good. I just could've taste the sweet potato in the waffle. And the cinnamon roll was good. The cream cheese frosting is very forward in taste. The second time I got the chicken sandwich and it was good as well. You want to set it off? Add some of their hot sauce to it. It helped elevate the dish a lot. Of course we all got bottomless drinks. It's not just mimosas so that was a plus! Besides the mimosas, I loved Greta's Punch. The tequila sunset was cute but very heavy on the prickly pear. Overall, it's a cute spot! Parking is an extreme sport. There a garages and lots you can pay to park in but it's pricey.
I really enjoyed the food here, it was seasoned well. My drink was great and it came in the cutest glass. The server was kind and attentive. It's beautiful in this restaurant. The vibes are a 10/10. The restroom I used had "water" on the ground, well I hope it was water. I'm surprised I hadn't been here before. I sat on the 2nd floor and had a nice view of Nats stadium. I'd love to come back when there is a game going on. The restaurant is nice, overall i'd give it a 8/10. I wish the bathroom was a little cleaner and wanted the menu to have more options.
I had a fantastic experience at Gatsby Restaurant on a Wednesday night with my cousin! From the moment we walked in, we were immediately impressed by the stylish and inviting ambiance. The décor perfectly blends modern elegance with a touch of vintage charm, creating a warm and upscale vibe without feeling stuffy. It's the perfect setting for a night out, whether you're celebrating something special or just enjoying a good meal. The food was absolutely delicious! Every dish we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The menu offers a great variety of options, and everything was cooked to perfection. We were so impressed with the quality and taste of each course. As for the service, it was top-notch. Our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being overbearing. They made great recommendations, and we really felt well taken care of throughout our meal. Overall, Gatsby Restaurant is a hidden gem that offers incredible food, amazing service, and a fantastic ambiance. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience in a relaxed yet refined setting. We'll definitely be back!
I tell you those 2-3 hours flew by her and the bottomless brunch at Gatsby! Now only the ambience is like an old elegant vibe...the DJ was playing all the hot hits and even had a cute update Photo Booth that me and my girls took full advantage of...lol This was my first time here but definitely will not be my last! Bottomless brunch is well worth it and the signature drink which slips my mind now. Was top tier! We got our money's worth for sure! I opted for the crab Benedict and the matzo ball soup which both were flavorful and delicious. It was a chill in the air when we got there but by time 3-hours hit we had warmed up! So don't walk run to the bottomless brunch here because I mostly likely we see you there in the near future!
If you come here and experience Jeremy the waiter! He is absolutely amazing! I had such a great time here! Can't wait to come back with my girls!
