Scottish Steelhead with mashed cauliflower and wilted spinach
Scott Z.

(Review #1000) Really great service. There's a lot of terrible hotel meals on work travel but this one was superb. Friendly and very knowledgeable servers. Great atmosphere. Cute little restaurant and lounge adjacent to the JW Marriott DC lobby area. Great vibe. I had a meatballs and sauce appetizer and it was the perfect size starter and so good. I got the steelhead trout (aka scottish salmon) and it was delicious, seasoned perfectly and the veggies were healthier and tasty. A really nice in-hotel spot for a meal and an evening away from work!

Honey Pear Mousse $11
Melanie J.

Waiting for a play to start and decided to swing by the bar in the Marriott next door. The service was extremely helpful when it came to navigating the menu and also patient when it came to making a decision. I ordered the pear mousse with is their gluten free dessert and it's pretty good. The mousse portion is delicious and super light. I also ordered a Mocktail that is a called lavender serenade and it's delicious especially when out on a night around town. Beautiful hotel and great service.

Mocktails!

Staff alone make this place 5/5! While staying at the JW I stopped in because they offered dining credit. I had excellent service from Fitsum, Heather, and Jaime on my 2 nights I stopped. (Plus a couple of other people that I didn't get names). The team worked well together when it got crowded. Sometimes hotel guests can be rude at bars/restaurants, but people were treating staff well too. Staff treated guests with respect and even said welcome back! I also saw the manager really engaging with her staff, making cocktails, and running drinks to support her team. I did feel that the food menu was a little lacking. The burger was a little greasy. They give you complimentary spicy peanut mix.

Honestly, for a hotel restaurant, this is easily one of the better ones that I've been to. All of their food is really high-quality and made with care. And surprisingly, their prices are reasonable. I highly recommend the pan seared salmon as the salmon is super crispy, while the curry and noodles make an excellent dish. The shredded papaya salad on top gives a nice acidity and crunch to the entire dish and brings it together. I also really enjoyed their apple dessert that has a cookie, apple, mousse, and two or three other variations of apple to go onto the dessert.

Bar mix & local hazy
Matt W.

Delicious w excellent service, delicious food & great local beer on tap. Met a buddy for drinks & dinner, we sat at the bar. Service is excellent & they serve a great mix to you when you sit down. The local hazy is fantastic! We each had the burger and it was great - perfectly cooked and perfect size. Bar has great ambience & is a comfortable place to have drinks, dinner & a chat. It's so much better than the JW! It's a shame the JW doesn't learn from them about service!!

Braised Beef Short Ribs
Kai Z.

Great food and excellent service. Decent sized drink menu. Open seating. Reasonably priced in the JW Marriott Hotel near the White House.

1331 burger
Dianne C.

My husband and I stopped in for simple meal after a long day of travel. We ordered the 1331 burgers. They were very hearty and delicious and cooked exactly as we ordered. For dessert, we shared a slice of blueberry lemon cheesecake that was also wonderful. The service was very friendly and efficient.

Apple Crumble
James H.

This is a nice evening option while staying at the JW. While here for a few days, we tried the Tea & Biscuits and the PB&J desert, both were tasty and got the job done after a long day. Cocktails, are offered in an elevated variety and if you're a top shelf enjoyer you're all set. It's easy to find a table or a spot at the bar, and offers a comfortable blend of cozy, but easy going (without seeming boring). This hotel, and bar do however need a design update as the aesthetic is aging. Customer Experience is where the big win is though; our mixologist Fitsum offered us not just a warm and friendly environment, but also made us feel at home in a way not often seen. It's not every day you meet someone at a hotel or bar that remembers you, or is genuinely interested in making sure you're happy. Kudos to Fistum, the hotel should take note, and promote her to manage hotel experience!

Pan fried Salmon
Hari R.

This restaurant is inside JW Marriott..not many options for dinner, but they have a decent drinks menu. The wait time for the food is excessive. Ambience is okay, not that great.

Coconut mojito
Gina M.

The veggie flatbread is delicious- loaded with fresh vegetables and a balsamic glaze. I also tried the coconut mojito...wonderful!!! Great place to relax.

JW Marriott Washington, DC, Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott Hotels, JW Marriott. I like the hotel but enough with the thievery. Had a bill for $91.30 plus $15.00 tip equaling $106.30 got the folio $142.30. Way to try to swindle $36.00 from me. Twice had mysterious honor bar charges added to my room when we did not partake. Parking keeps getting added to my folio and you keep trying to double charge for this parking. Always blaming someone else to boot! Now I am going to have to go through each and every line on my bill and folio to reconcile. I have eaten in your restaurant and bar many times so I have a lot of time I will need to waste now making sure or attempting to identify additional attempted larcenies by the hotel and it's staff. When I went to the desk to inquire/report about this fraudulent charge I was informed by Justin that he would take care of it later because he was busy. Three hours later he updated my folio and thanked me for noticing an incorrect charge and apologies (that they got caught) that it happened That's it? Just a thank you for noticing the attempted larceny? Are you even going to look into what happened? Are you even going to show me the signed copy of the bill? Every other day there is an in correct charge. Now this inflating/adding money to bar bills appears to be a scam and its apparently condoned (as long as you don't get caught) by the management at JW. Hilton Hotels & Resorts, does this happen often at your hotels? Oh BTW lifetime Platinum/Titanium with Marriott. Maybe now it's a good time to jump ship and start enjoying the the warm cookies in the other side of the fence? These inflated charges, mysterious/phantom charges, double charged for parking and lack of sincerity from this hotel was annoying but now I think it's criminal and intentionally done. First thing I've noticed now, I've been charged for cream for my coffee. 50 more receipts to go. But really $.80 for cream, cream for the $5.50 coffee. You suck.

The Rickey - my new favorite drink
River B.

This place was a pleasant surprise. The black eye pea hush puppies were great--as was my salad. I also became acquainted with The Rickey (bourbon Version). I think this is my new favorite cocktail.

My first night in DC and this is exactly how you're supposed to start it…read more A friend brought me to Thurst for birthday weekend vibes, and from the moment I walked in, the energy felt intentional and warm. The purple neon lighting creates this sultry, intimate atmosphere without being overwhelming. It's the kind of place where you can actually connect, laugh, and still feel like you're outside living. The music was a vibe. Smooth R&B blended with some Jamaican flavor and nostalgic cuts that made the room feel alive. It wasn't chaotic; it was curated. The sound set the tone without overpowering the experience. What stood out most was how comfortable the space felt. Beautiful crowd, welcoming energy, and that perfect balance between lounge and nightlife. It's not just somewhere you go to be seen; it's somewhere you go to feel good. Perfect first stop for my DC weekend. I'd absolutely return.

Came here with my a couple of my homies for a quick drink and this place is too cute. Small but spacious, dimly lit but not eerie or creepy and the bartender is NOT shy with the pours. Music was some early 2k r&b (who doesnt love that?) and its just... vibey! I know sometimes men can feel a little put off by women being in their space, lesbian or not, which I completely understand, but we felt welcomed! Two gentlemen even offered for us to sit at their table - so sweet. Even the security guards were sweeties so I can definitely see myself returning on a random night.

I always enjoy my experiences at Park, and honestly, I may be back again next year for a three-peat birthday celebration. It's always a great time.

Mostly rap music. The food was good. Fresh salad, fruit, meats etc. Unlimited mimosas was $25 per person. We could only order 1 flavor at a time, which there was about 8 flavors.

The workers did provide everyone with TAKE HOME Boxes, so we filled our boxes as fast as they were breaking it down lol Hookah guy arrived, think it was a total of $68.

Only thing I didn't like, the place had her walking around in a tight leopard body suit, with her arms out, like this was the Playboy mansion. It was cold in there.
