A nice, quiet place to have lunch and a challenge to remember the names of the famous people whose portraits are hanging everywhere. The short rib grilled cheese sandwich had lots of tender meat and was oozing with cheddar and Bel paese cheese. What made it unique and special was the radicchio-cit
Food was good. Pleasantly surprised by the cornbread. I was expecting the usual starter bread. The cornbread was served in an iron skillet so it stayed warm longer! I had the pasta special which was pasta made on site with lobster and clams. It was not heavy at all! I also had the Occidental salad
Came here for lunch with some coworkers. We had some oysters, angus burger, crab cake sandwich and the fried green tomato BLT. Everything here was delicious. Oysters were so good we had to order another dozen. The burgers and sandwiches are a must order. The crunch from the thick cut bacon and fried
My team visited for lunch during DC Restaurant Week, the food at the Occidental was really good and we all had something different. The best part of our visit was the service, hands down Ashley is one of the best servers in the area!! Her knowledge of wines (and their appropriate glasses) really sco
The atmosphere is great. We enjoyed looking at the photos and guessing who everyone was. All 6 of us enjoyed delicious meals, we tried everyone's plates and my halibut was the winner then the truffle fries were a close second.

Amazing! The service was top notch. The food was decadent and filling! Loved every minute of it.

Nice and relaxing place for dinner, even though is a pretty historic place, we enjoy sitting outside.
One of the best places to eat in DC. The history is really amazing when you see all the famous and powerful people who've dined here. It's worth taking a trip here to eat at least once.
Fancy and pricey. Awesome food and service.
The dining room is old school and beautiful. The food was very good, and the service was excellent.
We had a wonderful evening at this restaurant for our BAYADA Ambassador’s Awards Dinner. Space - both inside and outside - is elegant. The staff were very attentive to our every need. They were friendly and cordial. We had appetizers and drinks on the second floor at the bar, and then retired to on
This place was great! First time eating at a more upscale restaurant $$$. We didn't need a reservation that evening,
Everything was fresh and fast! They had an intro crouton and delicious on-the-house cornbread. They also surprised us with a great anniversary desert with drinks & card signed fro
