This place wasn't what I thought it would be. I as expecting more of a "Gatsby" vibe but it was just a bar with some seats around it. Apparently there is more comfortable seating upstairs but we were told it was closed off. So disappointing. The cocktails were good though. read more

Gatsby truly brings the vibe of The Great Gatsby a la F. Scott Fitzgerald to the Navy Yard area. You'll be wowed by the swanky decor and the mile high ceilings. You're also in for a fancy evening of drinks and dining you won't forget! We stopped by after a Nat's game for a nightcap and a bite to eat. It was so convenient to walk across the street from the stadium and go straight inside. There are tons of drinks to choose from. Very fancy cocktails and unique concoctions. You're in good hands with their expert bartenders. For appetizers we got the wings and the artichoke and spinach dip. Both were delicious. We got absolutely what we were looking for with minimal fuss. Overall we had a great time. Great food, great drinks, and great friends! Thanks Gatsby. read more

Went here for a birthday brunch and had a phenomenal time. The pastrami deviled eggs were so good as was everything else. We did bottomless drinks which were also good. The staff and manager were very nice and accommodating. read more

Gatsby is at a crossroads, literally and figuratively. The restaurant sits at the intersection of Half Street and N St SE right across from Nationals Park. It also sits at a crossroads of genre - art deco style with a decór that represents the grandeur of a time that never really existed in this neighborhood. The upscale comfort food/diner is the theme and they deliver with items that remind you of childhood with an upscale Navy Yard twist. The lasagna is a solid move and the chicken pot pie is also a winner. The crowd may ebb and flow depending on the baseball schedule, but the friendly servers and bartenders make his a quality stop, whether it's a temporary rain delay, or an all night option. The weekend brunch is particularly popular, so check it out as a summer option and get a view of Nats Park while you are at it. The food is good, but this spot is all about the location. Together, it combines for a good evening, whether or not a ball game is in progress. read more

Great hospitality. Beautiful rooms. Great service. Would love to return to try other dishes. My Croque Monsieur was good although the ham fell out a bit. I probably would not return because the ambient noise levels were too high. read more

Great lunchtime spot AND brunch! Service was a bit slow both times but the food was good plus they have outdoor seating.

I finally found a great place that serves great American food. Gatsby is a new restaurant at Navy Yard, the food was delicious, the server was very efficient and friendly, great wine selection,due to COVID-19 I sat outside, but inside looks beautiful. I will definitely coming back soon since is to far from my apartment. read more

This place was pretty good. Our server was Rowan and she was great! She was attentive to our table and we didn't go without drinks for more than like 2 mins of it being empty. My boyfriend and I were worried about that since we did the No Prohibition (unlimited drinks for 90mins). I got the yellowfin tuna salad and it was SO GOOD. It does list that the sauce they use is spicy, but I didn't expect it to be that spicy. It's definitely got more than a small kick, but the flavor is still good. The drinks were also very good. They were not skimping on the alcohol either. I was tipsy after 2 drinks and drunk by my 4th! It was a great time, I definitely recommend this place. read more

Have only been here twice for dinner but both times had great service and love/recommend their salmon entree. Will definitely be back

The waitress we had was kind and did her absolute best. It was her first day servicing my friends and I. The ambiance is nice. They have seating upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs, you get an amazing view of the Nationals Stadium. Reservations are strongly encouraged. I will say, one thing about me...if calamari is on the menu, then calamari is what I'm ordering. It's one of my absolute favorites. I was disappointed when my calamari finally came and it was too salty and cold. I would've sent it back and asked for it to a different batch, however, it took forever for our food to get to our table, so I just cut my losses and left it alone. As an entree I ordered the All American. It comes with two pancakes, eggs, bacon, and potatoes. When my food finally came. It was cold. My eggs were extremely salty, the potatoes lacked in seasoning and flavor. The bacon was good, it was just cold. The pancakes had a lot of potential, however, they were cold. Like I previously stated, because everything took so long to get to our table, I cut my losses and paid for my food. Hopefully you guys go and have a better experience! Happy eating !! read more

After checking out the Christmas lights at Enchant DC, we walked around looking for somewhere to eat. We stumbled upon Gatsby. Looking at the menu I was torn with trying many dishes. It was late and I debated whether or not I wanted a Smash burger or a Blue Plate special. I ended up going with the lasagna which was accompanied by garlic bread. The lasagna was good but the garlic bread was even better. The garlic bread took me by surprise. I also ordered sauteed spinach but it was too salty, so I sent it back. I plan to go back to try other dishes read more

Gatsby was fun and light for Happy Hour! The drinks were delicious and well crafted. The staff was also friendly to us as we waited at the bar. I am still unsure as to why most recently a lot if the wait staff barely speaks english. When asked for simple items napkins and silverware he couldn't answer or execute the request. I really hope they would work on that. The food was tasty bar food type but I will return for the cheap drink prices! read more

A really cool spot with an amazing interior. The food was pretty good, the drinks and dessert were fantastic. Food: I am a fiend for lasagna and was so looking forward to that as the blue plate special of the day - only to try to order it and be told they were already sold out at 5pm! What a bummer. Kind of crazy that their special didn't even make it two hours past opening in the afternoon. Hopefully just a growing pain and they will learn to make more in the future because I have to come back to try it! I instead opted for the monte cristo, which was quite good and perfectly fried. The cherry jam complemented it nicely. The slaw on the side was skimpy and seemed bone dry. I could not see/taste any vinegar sauce. My friend got the pastrami and said it was really good. It seemed to be a sizeable portion and I was jealous of the mound of crispy fries. Finally, do NOT skip dessert - the watergate cake was divine. Highly recommend. Drinks: The Sun Gate spilled a bit on the way to me but it was SO delicious and pretty. Really great olive flavor and frothy texture. The Cure was also a hit. Service: Our appetizer didn't arrive until we were almost done with our entrees, but overall service was quite attentive. It would also be nice if servers let you know up front when they're out of the special so you have time to find a second choice option. read more

I mostly come here during happy hour and before 6 pm. They used to have before 6 pm plates that were reasonable until the price went up. Devils are really good, but at $1.5 for half an egg, it's pricey. Parmasan friends weren't bad. Drinks are a bit pricey. Service is a hit or miss. With servers not around. read more

Love this place for an early brunch. Gets very crowded later in the day, but generally no problem finding a seat or two at the bar before noon. Their bottomless deal is among the best - range of drinks including mimosa, bloody and even a pils, for $28 for an hour and a half, and their service at the bar is good enough that you get your money's worth. The food is good too. Interesting brunch options like French toast, omelet, and even a "Dutch pancake" which looks like what would result if a bread bowl and a pancake did the dirty, but I always end up getting the smash burger which is extremely tasty. My one gripe is the pickle, which isn't pickled enough and tastes like a mildly salty cucumber. But when that's the complaint, the place is doing pretty good. read more

I've been meaning to go to this place for a minute and finally made it for brunch. They have a $25 bottomless deal for two hours which does not include the price of your entree. You get a pretty wide selection of drinks so it's great for people who don't just want mimosas or bloody Marys. It seems like smaller groups, around 4 people, would be best for this restaurant. I got the Pastrami Hash because runny eggs over meat and potatoes are the definition of brunch for me. I definitely recommend that, but I also want to go back and try more of their brunch dishes. read more

We were a group if 8 who came in we thought pre-game before seeing Nationals vs Mariners across the street. We had reservations. Ended up staying for 5 hours because of a large severe thunderstorm that canceled the ballgame. Service was great! Very attentive staff, who were kind and got us everything we needed (even after we cashed out and then decided to order desserts). While anywhere that has deviled eggs by the egg gets points, the food was just average for us. Pot pie wasn't as amazing as it looked. Brisket poutine had cheese sauce more than brisket or gravy. But fries were tasty, apple crumble looked amazing, and calamari was devoured. Overall, highly recommend this spot as a good one near the Nationals ballpark for a pre-game meal. read more

Great place for a nice date night or a fun girls night out. The ambiance was perfect and the food was just as good. Loved the quality of the ingredients in the seafood pasta and would definitely recommend! read more

I really enjoyed brunch at Gatsby. The service was great and the food was really enjoyable. The highlights were Greta's punch and the cinnamon roll. After chatting with the manager, he sent another cinnamon roll over for me in celebration of my birthday. read more

Every once in a while you go to dinner and the total experience is great. If that happens it must be the combination of the food and the service. Our meal at Gatsby's falls into that category. It all started with our server, David. He was awesome from start to finish. He had suggestions for menu items, he made sure we had everything we needed yet never seemed to interfere in the conversation. The food was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right. The calamari was an excellent stater and the cheesecake was tremendous for a finisher. This place is so good. We will definitely be back. read more

The service is great here, but the food and drinks are below average to be honest. We ordered multiple plates, but the only good things was the burger. The Lasagna was't good at all and the steak that we ordered medium came raw. we ask to cook it more, but still came back uncooked. The ambience is quiet and nothing special. read more

The service was HORRIBLE and it wasn't from our wsiter it was the manager name Kemo he was rude the moment we got there and he also made under tone racist statement I was sooo appalled and disappointed because it was my second time there and this was my first time seeing him. He made my birthday experience a nightmare, I will never step foot in your establishment again and I'm going to let everyone know not to come in your place again.

Popped into this cute little restaurant last night. It is very cute and elegant on the inside with comfortable seating. I ended up getting a slice of apple pie and a latte and both were very delicious. The dessert items they get from the bakery next door, which I will definitely be going to in the future. The latte was very good, I do wish I had gotten a flavor in it though. read more

I was overall impressed with my experience at Gatsby. The only thing keeping me from giving the restaurant 5 Stars was that the wrong appetizer came out to our table, my meatloaf was warm and not hot, and the food was good not great (salty). With that being said, I'd definitely return again. This seems like a great place to come for late night drinks after dinner or for a dinner date. They offer daily food specials and definitely want to return on a Monday to try the fried chicken. We got the wings, which were definitely tasty, Chicken pot pie (delicious and a huge portion), and the meatloaf (was better than I thought). Service here was great and I loved the team effort of everyone helping! If you're in the Navy Yard definitely check this place out! read more

First off let me say our server was amazing ( Z). She was polite, knowledgeable of the food and overall a joy to have on Christmas. Now the food, first off in the beginning before ordering we were told some of the items on the menu were out. Then my table ordered our food and the appetizer came out maybe ten minutes after I was told they were out of lasagna. So i chose something else and it was ok. Honestly after our continuous let done of them being out of items and I would have thought something would have been taken off the bill or offered for the inconvenience . I would not go back to this place or make a suggest to anyone to go their.. read more

I came here with a few friends for dinner and drinks. I would give this place 3.5 stars but decided to round up. The cocktails and wine list were great. I loved my "bees knees" cocktail that was served in a little bear shaped glass. The service is attentive. Decor is attractive. The food is decidedly average. The mezze platter is fine and I liked the fried lemons and pickles in the calamari appetizer. The Chinese chicken salad was an over dressed mess. It has some sort of a kick from the wasabi or mustard. I wanted to like it but couldn't. read more

I had an amazing first experience at Gatsby! We sat in the patio but did check out the inside and it's incredible. Such a cool vibe and decor. The patio was great and faces the Nationals ballpark. We were there the night of Elton John's concert and could hear it so well - it was such a cool surprise! The wings with mumbo sauce were unreal; so delicious. And a bottle of resiling was perfect to split for girls night. Highly recommend!! read more

Short and sweet: Great ambiance! Great food! Great drinks! EXCELLENT service! This was a pregame to a concert and a great pick. We came in the day time but we could tell this place would be nice at night by the lighting. FYI, some of the entree portions are big enough for two people. *Add this to your date night list. read more

Went for brunch! The food was great and good service ! And the drinks were bomb!! Def get the wings whatever you do!

Me and my friends went here for brunch on Labor Day. I picked here because the food had good reviews and it didn't disappoint! The food was amazing! The decor was classy. And our waiter was so nice! They had apparently run out of the "Greta's Punch" but our waiter made sure that we got the last of it. And because it was bottomless mimosas that day, he kept them coming. Very nice of him. The price was a little much compared to the portions sizes but other than that it was amazing! Taste 10/10, Aesthetics 10/10, Waiter 10/10, Price 8/10. read more

Gatsby Ratings: 4.4/5 Food: 4.25/5 - Food is surprisingly better than I thought. We got two entrees to share. The Murray's Roasted 1/2 Chicken was juicy, tender, and roasted perfectly right. I love the sauce that comes with it, and the charred asparagus and salad added a good crunch to the dish. This is definitely a healthier option on the menu. The spaghetti + meatball was interesting. I never ordered pasta with two different sauces, but I loved it. I prefer the garlic cream sauce over the marinara sauce; it was not too heavy, but still very creamy. I just wished that the garlic flavor was stronger, thought it would balance out with the tomato sauce so much better. The marinara sauce was amazing, because it was acidic and sour and tasted super refreshing, but doesn't have the artificial tomato sauce to it. The beef and lamb meatball was huge, tender and juicy; super easy to chewy. The only downside was it's a bit undercook, still kind of pink on the inside, so didn't get to finish the whole thing. Finally, the poutine fries was delicious, and the HIGHLIGHT of the meal. The crispy and crunchy French fries topped with slowly roasted brisket along with multiple cheeses were phenomenal. This is a must order, and please share, because it can get heavy towards the end of the meal. Ambiance: 4.25/5 - Located in Navy Yards, a busy area with lots of restaurants nearby. There's two floors, both levels are well-decorated with plenty of seating and the full size windows for lights to shine through. With the name of the restaurant, there was a Gatsby theme and cute wall decor and a retro party vibe and atmosphere to it. Overall, very cute themed restaurant, and surprisingly not loud at all. My favorite is the bar at the center of the restaurant, super fancy but a causal vibe too. There's also a nice outdoor seating area with open and enclosed spaces, but recommend to sit indoor and make a reservation. Price: 4.5/5 - The prices and portions here are super reasonable. The spaghetti meatballs and murray's roasted 1/2 chicken were both $23 each. The sides, brisket poutine was $10. The total with tips and tax all together came up to be around $75. Great value, definitely a steal for a good dinner. Service: 4.5/5 - Our server was amazing, attentive, and super friendly. I can feel the southern hospitality from her. She provided some good recommendations on some popular dishes. Also, we were not going to order the poutine fries, but after her detailed descriptions of the dish, we were happy that we decided to order it. All other staffs are quite welcoming too. BLUF: Recommend the poutine fries and the spaghetti + meatball dish here. Decent food, wonderful and lovely service, and delightful staffs. Go try it out if you haven't done so, and this is one of the better restaurants located in Navy Yards. I had a great experience here, and will return again with friends when they visit DC again. read more
