Went here for a team dinner on a weekday. Were seated promptly and the service was good, but the food wsa very average. We tried their appetizer platter and the chicken sandwiches as well as steaks and nothing really stood out. Will go back to try more of the drinks but probably pass on the food.

Came to celebrate my birthday with a brunch that did not disappoint. There's no live DJ on Sunday but that did not take away from the experience. From our amazing sever Dess to the drinks to the food everything was covered for a great experience. The shrimp and grits was a perfect balance only change I would make is no bacon( personal preference). The shrimp were perfect size and grits were not too runny or thick! I also enjoyed their mini pancakes as they were perfect size and flavor! Also.. $30 unlimited drinks for 90 mins spells out GOOD time to me

Chai White Russian
Camille M.

The service was quick here and the smashburger entree was pretty good, however I wouldn't say it was a smashburger. I typically enjoy smashburgers that have the crispy edges, but this one was more like a normal burger. The drinks were very underwhelming. We ordered the Chai White Russian and it was unpleasantly very strong. I don't mind a strong drink, but I didn't get the Chai flavor. Overall, it just wasn't balanced.

Bottomless drink timer

Gatsby made for such a fun and unexpectedly perfect Saturday afternoon brunch spot. We had a reservation and went earlier in the day, which turned out to be ideal because the space is flooded with natural light. The restaurant itself is really cute--open, airy, and surprisingly spacious. You take an elevator up to the second floor, and our table was right next to a huge window, which made the whole experience feel bright and relaxed. There's also additional seating throughout, so it never felt cramped. One of the funniest contrasts, though, is the bathroom situation. The dining area is light, bright, and open... and then you walk into the bathrooms and suddenly it's very dark, moody, and dramatic. Total vibe shift, but honestly kind of amusing and on-brand in its own way. We opted for the bottomless brunch, which runs on a two-hour timer. I appreciated how organized it was--our server gave us a small paper letting us know exactly when our last drink could be ordered. What really sets Gatsby apart from other bottomless brunches, though, is that you aren't locked into just one drink. There's a full variety of cocktails to choose from, which makes the experience feel way more elevated and less repetitive. Both the host and our server were incredibly friendly and attentive. Our server especially was on it--she made sure our drinks were never empty and was already asking what we wanted next before we even finished our current one. As we were wrapping up, she asked if we liked champagne and then brought out a bottle with a sparkler, which was such a cute touch. I'm not sure if every bottomless brunch table gets one, but either way, it definitely added to the celebratory feel. For food, we ordered the potato pancakes, cinnamon rolls, a classic breakfast, and the grilled chicken avocado sandwich. Everything was really solid and satisfying--comforting brunch food done well, with generous portions. Overall, Gatsby feels like one of those places that works for almost any occasion. While we were there, I saw couples on dates, Galentine's Day groups, and birthday brunch celebrations. It's also located directly across from the baseball stadium, making it a great spot to grab food and drinks before a game or just sit by the window and people-watch on a busy weekend. Definitely a place I'd return to when I'm back in D.C.

Monte Cristo
Bill C.

Nothing Great about this Gatsby. It's not a bad restaurant but I won't be returning. For starters, the milkshake was very meh. I'm sure (I hope) they use real ingredients but it tasted very artificial. The bread on my monte cristo was too hard and crunchy. I was afraid I would cut the inside of my mouth.

Greta's Punch
Donyiel C.

Good option for happy hour. Located in the heart of Navy Yard and right across from the stadium, this place is a nice vibe! It was my first time, but certainly won't be my last! Not too far from the Navy Yard metro. Met a friend for happy hour. On a Tuesday it wasn't super packed around 3. Their happy hour drink specials start at 11:30 (yes you read that right). The food specials start at 4. It was a game day so it got more full closer to game time but not overly packed. Our server, Dominic (or Donovan)..I forgot his name, but he was great! Very engaging and friendly. I enjoyed the Greta's punch cocktail and the reuben eggrolls. I want to try their brunch!

Tried out their restaurant week $25 brunch special on Saturday and everything was so amazing. It came with an appetizer, entree, and desert. My favorite dish was desert which was the cinnamon buns -- so yummy. We received lovely customer service from our server who made sure we were taken care of. I'll definitely go back and recommend you to check it out.

Watermelon salad
Kelly M.

I guess it's been awhile since I updated my review. I'm still a big fan of gatsby! My husband loves the smash burger. Their deviled eggs and cinnamon buns are also great. This time I tried the new matzoh ball soup and it was good. It's small, as it's in the appetizer menu, but that was what I expected. We had great attentive service today. The place does get very very loud when full and not great for large groups. Better for a small party.

Deviled eggs
Donica T.

My work colleagues and I went here for a holiday luncheon, and I was not impressed. I had a mocktail which was very flavorful, but the deviled eggs, while looked amazing, lacked in flavor. I also had the grilled chicken Caesar salad. It wasn't the worst salad that I've had, but it also was not the best. The staff was very nice and friendly, but when they brought out the water, it was room temperature and they did not ask if we wanted ice. The wait staff, was also the bartender did not bring straws for the table and everyone else didn't enjoy their food as well. Some of the members in my party said that they enjoyed brunch and dinner when they had come before, but their lunch wasn't it for me. I did love the Gatsby theme, which was very cute but overall this is not a place that I must try again.

Elevator is out...we had to hike
Lawrence G.

Brunch anyone....!!! Yes, we stopped into Gatsby for bottomless brunch. This is definitely a Uber ride...parking does not exist. OK, let's discuss food..it was ok, the devil eggs were lacking flavor...well presented but not overwhelming. The chicken, ohhh god...the batter, flavor, great and cooked to the bone. Shrimp and grits..ok, needed some gravy...but not a zero. The issue for me was we chose the family platter (all you can eat) was a lot of eggs, and bread. The service, excellent. Wish I could have taken the server home to work my kitchen ...he made sure out gastronomic needs were met. The ambience was great, we were seared with a view of Nationals Park.... worth the visit!!!!

Menu

Located right across the street from Washington Nationals baseball stadium, my mother and I had a fantastic time at Gatsby. The food was delicious. We have Christmas brunch here and it did not disappoint. They a a multi-coursed meal with tons of food. Some of the main entrees were a bit large so we had to ask for our last course Togo, but better to have too much than too little to eat. The service was great and I thank the staff for serving us on Christmas Day. The ambience was a little confusing since the theme was supposed to be 1920s "Great Gatsby" but it was mostly giving fancy sports bar with a few 1920s motifs. The bathroom was so dark that I could barely see my reflection in the mirror, and you might as well forget about trying to fix your makeup. All good though. Thank you!

Ayanna W.

Well styled (1920s theme), great kocation (steps from the 3rd base entrance to the ball park, and great food (it was so good I couldn't wait to get a picture until I'd eaten half the food)! I highly recommend. Service was great on a Saturday early evening with no wait. TVs had football games on at low volume so it was still great for a conversation half way through a bike ride. We'll be back!

LaShawn G.

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!

Can you order happy hour outside?

Do they have heated outdoor seating?

The restaurant scene is constantly changing, I would suggest given them a call to inquire what they are doing now. I would hate to give you my experience and you show up and it's totally changed.

We were initially going to go to the karaoke bar next door but when we walked inside, it was wayyyy too loud and obnoxious so we were like perfect let's go across the street! We walk into the ramen spot and ask where the speakeasy is and the guy led us to the back and showed us to some stairs to go down. Seriously, how COOL is this place??? The neon lights were so fun! We walked into the bar and immediately loved it! Good amount of bar seating plus some comfy couches and whatnot. There was music but it wasn't too obnoxious, we were still able to have conversations - it was surprisingly chill and exactly what we were looking for. Chatted to the bartender who made some fancy shots for us, had a few drinks. It was not busy at all on a Sat night which was nice. It is very dark inside even with the neon lights so it does make it hard to read the menus (had to use flashlights on our phone). But super fun spot, fun drinks, not too expensive, and a neat and chill experience! It was an excellent find for us for sure!

Within minutes the place was packed, so although we were able to get a seat I'd still recommend making a reservation since the space fills up quickly. Initially I didn't realize this was a gin-focused bar, but now I'm hooked ( I told the bartenders about my usual preferences and they were able to make great recommendations). The drinks were incredibly well crafted and full of unique flavor. I started with one of their signature drinks but then asked for a bartender's choice based on what I typically enjoy and they absolutely nailed it. The space has a stylish speakeasy vibe that feels both elevated and inviting. You ring a bell to be let in, which makes the whole experience feel a little more special. Inside, it's moody and romantic with plush seating, gorgeous lighting, and a warm ambiance that's perfect for date night or just catching up with friends. Whether you're a gin enthusiast or just looking for a cool spot to grab a drink in DC, this place is absolutely worth checking out. I'm already planning my next visit.

During October, they were decked out really nicely with Halloween decor, including an It and Chucky mask on the walls to watch you while you eat. They had a cinnamon candle burning at front, and it filled the whole place with this warm, comforting spiced scent. It was great. On to the goods. The cocktails are fantastic classics. The vesper was excellent. Strong and lemony and well balanced. Food hit the spot, too. They have a smash burger, which has become all the rage, but their take is very good. Moist and cheesy with great flavor. One of the best around. We upgraded the side fries to truffle parmesan fries, and those were delicious as well. On the flip side, the wagyu pigs in the blanket, which looked so fun and delightful, were just ok. They came wrapped in an everything bun, but there just wasn't much flavor. That was the one miss in an otherwise top notch experience. I still highly recommend them. For a really special occasion slash expensive meal, Rose's Luxury is still the best bet around here, but if you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars, Lobby Bar might be your best choice for a solid meal in the Capitol Hill/Eastern Market area.
