Penbrook delivered a genuinely impressive breakfast experience, starting with amazing service and consistently great food. The standout of the morning was the breakfast side potatoes--crispy, seasoned perfectly, and easily something I'd come back for. The breadbasket came with three pastries, which felt a bit smaller than expected, but the almond croissant more than made up for it. On the heartier side, the chicken and waffles were extremely filling thanks to the dense waffles, so definitely a dish to tackle with an appetite. One of the biggest surprises was the brunch salad with salmon, which ended up being one of the best salads I've had in a long time--fresh, balanced, and satisfying. The breakfast sandwich was another highlight: so good that it's now the new standard I'll compare all other breakfast sandwiches to. The smoked salmon bagel was also a fun experience, served deconstructed so you can build each bite exactly how you like it. Not everything was a hit--the French toast wasn't my favorite--but the overall meal was strong enough that it barely detracted from the experience. Brunch offers a few additions beyond the regular breakfast menu, but overall it's very similar to their standard breakfast, just with a couple of extra options. It tends to get full on the weekends to make a reservation. Bottom line: Penbrook is a beautiful hotel restaurant that punches above its weight--excellent service, memorable dishes, and several items worth returning for. read more

Truly a lower than average experience food wise. Arti and Jose were great servers! Very attentive and provided recommendations without hesitation. My main issue here is with a manager I presume she was. The steak and eggs I had ordered came with a hair on the side of the potatoes. She stopped by shortly after our food came to ask how things was and that is when I brought up the hair. I just asked for the potatoes to be remade. I understand hair happens but I was not thrilled when she insisted on remaking my entire dish. I gave up after the third insistence after I repeatedly said it was fine, I just want new potatoes. My original dish was delicious (I avoided the potatoes of course). Steak and eggs were cooked to perfection. However, my new dish was horrible. I had a feeling it was going to be awful as it's expected the new dish would be rushed whenever the original dish gets sent back. The steak was chewy and not medium cooked. Overall dish was very salty. If they added another seasoning I did not notice as the salt overwhelmed it. It also appears they doubled portioned everything but the steak. I would have much appreciated the original dish with the hair in it. I had expressed this to Arti and he was sympathetic. He was unknown to the issue I had with my dish. At that point I didn't really want anything more from here. Just the check and to leave. After that whole incident, I would have assumed my order would have been discounted or taken off the bill. That was not the case. She also vanished from our sight since taking my food back. My mom ended up not enjoying her meal either. She had the French omelette and thought the mustard was a rather overpowering touch to it. My mom was also surprised my meal was still on the bill. She was going to complain but I withheld as it truly is not that deep especially since the manager didn't care to come back to check if the new dish was satisfactory or not. I was given a warning not to go here by my friends and boy did I wish I listened. I wouldn't come back on my own accord but to eaches own. This restaurant will most likely stay here forever given its amazing ambiance and ease of location. read more

Fantastic New American / European restaurant in a gorgeous space. I visited the Pembroke as part of a work team dinner during Restaurant Week, and we were thoroughly impressed by the quality of the food, super friendly service, and great ambiance. The space is gorgeous; I love all the plants, and the light brown, light blue, and white color combination for their furniture makes the space look classy and modern. The light brown leather couches are comfortable, and I love the way they circle around the tables to create a natural, cozy booth. Our food was just as beautiful as the space. The Restaurant Week menu comes with an appetizer, main, and dessert. Given how indecisive I can be (and how expansive the normal menu is), I was grateful to have my choices narrowed down a bit. I started off my meal with the octopus. The octopus was remarkably tender and not overly chewy, and had a delightful char that gave it a slightly smoky flavor. They double downed on the smokiness with their burnt chili oil, which, alongside the lemon and salsa verde, gave the dish a wonderfully balanced smoky, savory, and slightly acidic flavor. The crushed potatoes had a lovely crispy shell on the outside and served as a great base for the tender octopus. The main course was probably the easiest choice of the evening -- I'm absolutely obsessed with branzino, so the second I saw it on the Restaurant Week menu, I knew that was what I had to get. The fish is beautifully broiled, with a nice, crispy skin and super tender, flaky flesh. It's topped with a few pieces of roasted garlic and a wedge of lemon. The fresh lemon juice, as well as the lovely side salad, offered a great pop of freshness to bring the whole dish together. And finally, for our dessert, I chose the chocolate torta. This wonderful dessert is remarkably rich and decadent, with a strong dark chocolate flavor. It's topped with a lovely marsala date sauce and scoop of sheep's yogurt ice cream, but still doesn't feel overly sweet. The sheep's yogurt in the ice cream offers a bit of tanginess, and I loved the addition of the candied walnuts for a bit of crunch. read more

A weekend brunch - yes please! A friend who recently relocated from here came back for a visit and gathered four of us for a leisurely brunch at this place. None of us had ever been here. I like new places. Dupont Circle was easy parking this time of morning - around 10. I love trying chicken and waffles at different spots and when I saw it on the menu I had to get it, even if I wasn't ravenous. The menu is a little pricey (most in DC are), but the chicken & waffles was also one of the better values (IMO). The cornmeal waffle (which I've had it only found at a few other places) was definitely on point! My fellow patrons had never had a cornmeal waffle and were skeptical, so I let them try and - they approved. The chicken was fried well, even if it could've used a bit more flavor. The latte was as good as I expected it to be. The decor in this place is gorgeous, very elevated, and the weather was perfect that day for an indoor or outdoor seating. Service was pretty good too, and the place was pretty filled, but never felt crowded. I'd recommend. read more

I've been to the Pembroke twice, once a couple of years ago and most recently on March 8, 2026, a Sunday. It was two of my friends and me; we were seated immediately upon arrival as we had a reservation. This restaurant is so cute and has such a nice, classy, and perfect brunch atmosphere. For my meal, I got the steak and eggs; I subbed out the breakfast potatoes for an avocado. The food was quite good; my steak was cooked perfectly, and everything was well seasoned. I recall getting Crab Cake Benedict years ago, and I recall that it was delicious. Service was friendly and attentive both times I have been here, and in general, it's a great spot for brunch. I definitely recommend it! read more

Lovely spot at DuPont Circle. Went for early weekday breakfast while at conference (cool they were open at 7:00 a.m.) Had the French omelette and was frankly underwhelmed. It was good, not great, and I kind of wanted great. Coffee also not earth shaking, and was not even offered a refill. Would probably give a second chance - vibe was very blonde Jane Fonda circa late 60s. Cool. read more

This bright, modern restaurant had a great ambiance, and the staff was friendly without being overbearing, which I appreciated. The dishes we ordered were delicious and nicely presented. The portions felt just right to me, though I could see how some might find them a bit on the smaller side. My only note would be to ask for the salad dressing on the side-the Caesar salad was a bit over-dressed. read more

We ate breakfast here twice on a recent trip to DC. The first time we tried the "healthier" options--oatmeal, yogurt, and coffee. All of them were perfectly serviceable, but nothing wowed us, and we really didn't care for the coffee. The second day, though, we thoroughly enjoyed the experience! We got a cappuccino and a latte, and they were much better than the coffee. We got a cinnamon roll for the table--holy mackerel!! You could definitely share it with four or five people--it's huge! It's also delicious. Lots of gooey frosting, hazelnuts, and soft bread. I'm pretty sure there was orange in the frosting, too, and I liked that. For my meal I had the standard breakfast--it was so big. That we decided to share it the next time we ate there. Normally I get my eggs over-medium, but I went with scrambled and they were perfect!! The eggs were soft, yet still substantial--just perfect. The best part of the meal, though, was the warmth of the staff and servers. The hostess and manager remembered us from the previous day, and they were both very kind and welcoming. Our server, Gio, was a gem. He was super friendly and easy to talk to, but he didn't hover or upsell--he just seemed like a really great guy who is able to brighten the corners. read more

If you want to enjoy an elegant, well serviced, delicious breakfast/brunch, come to The Pembroke. Located steps away from Dupont Circle, this restaurant's allure can be seen as you approach. The outdoor seating area is beautifully decorated, will have plenty of shade during the summer months, and is adorned with lavish green planters. The interior has large booths, bar seating, and their seats have an appealing pattern. The host staff was very friendly and accommodated our 12 person reservation. We were seated in two comfortable adjacent booths. My Cappuccino was smooth, creamy, served in a large cup, and artistically created. The entrees were SOOOOO GOOD! My French Omelet (Boursin cheese, herbs, mixed greens, mustard vinaigrette) was exquisite. The cheese was velvety, pleasantly salty, the accompanied sourdough bread was crunchy, and every forkful was throughly enjoyed. The other delectable entrees were: Avocado Toast with a poached egg, Pembroke American Breakfast, and Smoked Salmon Bagel. When in D.C., don't hesitate to start your day at The Pembroke. You'll leave content and add it to your future visits. read more

Returning to say that this place is still a gem in Dupont Circle. Unmatched for intimacy, quality food, fun lattes, beautiful ambiance, and an amazing staff! My boyfriend planned the perfect birthday breakfast for me and Rath, our waiter, was so kind and accommodating and definitely the type of waiter that you want to encounter all the time. Breakfast was phenomenal!!! I ordered the flavorful Pembroke American breakfast which contains eggs your way, bacon, potatoes, charred greens, and a slice of sourdough bread. These flavors blended together perfectly, making this dish memorable with each bite. The eggs were scrambled with white cheddar-FLUFFY and oozing with buttery goodness. The bacon was fried just right! The breakfast potatoes were bursting with herbs and a consistency in preparation. The charred greens added a balance to the fattiness from the bacon and eggs, meshing the dish together. This entire dish was stellar and no, I did not try the bread because the potatoes left me stuffed lol My boyfriend had the brioche French toast which came topped with apples. Whew! Another great pick! I took a small bite and was immediately stopped in my tracks by the softness, burst of cinnamon, and extraordinary taste! Our lattes were perfect! To conclude the dish, our amazing waiter provided us with a complimentary dessert to celebrate my birthday. He sang happy birthday softly and that made the dining experience even more worth the while. INCREDIBLE! I love the Pembroke and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dining experience. read more

Came here for late night drunk food. After going to a friend's event at a rooftop bar where they promised us food but only gave us drinks we needed some food to swap up the alcohol. I ended up getting the swordfish. Everything was rather blend nothing really stood out. The piece of fish I got was rather large but honestly for the price point I thought it was a rip off. Parking is on the street but most of us typically walk or use Uber when coming to this location If was in the area and wanted to try it I'd recommend coming for brunch but not for dinner. The value for the quality of food is not there for an evening meal. However I do like the ambience of the restaurant and I think it would be great to chill for brunch or lunch in the daytime read more

This is such an elegant location! This restaurant is connected to the hotel we stayed at and the service was delightful, our waitress answered all of our questions and had great recommendations!

I had a craving for lemon ricotta pancakes and saw that The Pembroke had them on their menu, so we decided to come here for breakfast. I ordered the lemon ricotta pancakes, and unfortunately they looked much better than they tasted. Usually these pancakes are fluffy, light, and slightly creamy from the ricotta, but these were dense and lacked flavor. My husband ordered the French cheese omelette, which was good, but extremely overpriced. The omelette alone was nearly $40 after adding a few ingredients (they charge $2 per ingredient). We also had to order bread separately -- one slice of bread for $6 -- and a small glass of orange juice was $9. The pancakes were $24 and honestly disappointing. I understand that hotel restaurants tend to be more expensive, but the quality should match the price. In this case, it really didn't. Also, serving eggs without bread included feels unusual since most places include toast as part of the dish. read more

Had a great experience here for dinner with dinner group. We came for restaurant week but decided to order off the regular menu. The star of this dinner was the grilled octopus appetizer. This dish was heavenly with some pesto that had a bit of a kick and potatoes. The burrata app was also tasty as the tomatoes were fresh. Aged Branzino was also really tasty and the portion was large and made you feel like you got your moneys worth. We all enjoyed our desserts which were the creme brulee and drunk prunes. Our server Brittany was very knowledgeable and gave great recommendations. I cant wait to come back and try their cocktails and heard good things about their brunch. read more

Nice and friendly customer service! Bright lights shining through the space with nice mirrors all over the place to elevate the limited space which is impressive. Excellent breakfast options as I shared with other person: America. Breakfast: with over hard egg, sourdough toast, smashed baked potatoes, thick bacon pieces, and a small batch of bitter sautéed veggies. Pretty tasty and very filling. Have to admit that smashed potatoes were very flavorful with their seasoning on it, not dry or bland at all! Lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup: very delicious as the pancakes itself were very fluffy and soft. It wasn't too dry like other brunch places. It was a large portion, so it was filling. Great one for sharing if you wish! Egg Benedict's with prosciutto was beyond delicious as the English muffin was soft and seems like very fresh compared to any other brunch places. The sauce on it was very thick and creamy. Perfect bite to wrap this up! It came with salad, so order a side of potatoes if you desire more carbs to this plate. Latte: it was average... but decent if I had to tell people if they needed some caffeine. Macchiato was decent and a punch of caffeine in a small cup. read more

I co-hosted a Women's Day Brunch here and thanks so much to The Pembroke team for making my first experience seamless, catering to me and the crew, and for giving us a mini photoshoot. The photos were appreciated. While we were sad the acai was out of stock by 2pm, we all loved our food/drinks. I'm not sure why but the ladies absolutely obsessed over your seasoned fries so keep those on the menu. Additional orders were placed just for them. lol. Parking was surprisingly easy/free here for a Sunday brunch period. Service was great we felt taken care of, could've been a bit quicker with drink order delivery or communication of lateness at least. A beautiful, classy restaurant with greenery at a seemingly chic hotel well located near farmers market and a park...went well with my color theme!

Visited for brunch while in DC for the weekend. It's inside a hotel but they also have a separate entrance. Beautiful spot with lots of tables and bar seating. It was easy to make a reservation online and we were seated promptly upon arrival. Service was a little slow but we enjoyed the food. Especially my pancakes they were delicious!

My partner and I recently enjoyed a wonderful weekday dinner at the Pembroke. It's been many years since we've been here, and are glad the place is just is good as we remembered! Our first time here was while we were living in California and visiting family in the DC area. We flew in for Thanksgiving and stayed at the Dupont Circle Hotel, and this restaurant is located on the ground floor level. It was a completely different vibe coming for a Thanksgiving brunch during the day versus our romantic night time dinner. Both were fantastic and I'm glad we got to experience both. For our date night out, I ordered the Danita Heritage Filet as my main entry. It didn't disappoint and was seasoned perfectly with a touch of salt that truly brought out the flavors. Other stand out items were the special appetizer of locally-sourced Maryland oysters, the burrata salad served on Levain bread (small, but perfect for one person) and the grilled broccolini. The broccolini side dish was fantastic, and even if you don't like vegetables, it would be a hit. It wasn't a boring steam broccoli. Instead, it was topped with garlic aioli, lemon zest, breadcrumbs and a tasty Italian vinaigrette. It truly popped. Finally, my partner ordered the short ribs, which were a special on the menu. It's a fattier cut of meat, which is something he loves. We were both happy with our entrees. If you like a leaner cut of meat like me, you can't go wrong with the filet. Our server Jerome was incredibly friendly and even offered to move our table since we ordered so much food! I enjoyed our spot though right by the window, which overlooked the busy main part of Dupont Circle. We were debating on a bottle of wine, and Jerome let us taste a malbec before we committed to the entire bottle. It was perfect and paired well with our dinner. If you're looking for a romantic date-night spot, this is a wonderful choice. We went during the week and it was busy but not overwhelming. It's also one of those trendy spots where you can actually have a conversation without being drowned out by the loud music or other tables. For dessert, we wrapped it up with the chocolate fondant. Think chocolate lava cake with whipped cream on top. We also got a side of vanilla ice cream. It was the perfect size, just enough sweet to wrap up our very hefty meal. We can't wait to come back here again. It's such a wonderful spot for a business meeting, brunch with family or a romantic night out. read more

I've been wanting to try out the Pembroke for some time, as it's highly rated on all review platforms. We had a reservation for brunch and were seated at a little table by the window. This spot is easy to get to, right by a metro station. The interior is modern with a diner feel. I loved the accents of pink and green mixed in with the retro diner vibes. The big glass windows out front provided great light and we loved people watching. The menu is slightly limited, and when we were there they had an issue with the gas so multiple things were off the menu. We both enjoyed our pembroke breakfast. The greens were flavored with a hint of spice. Our only complaint is that the toast was slightly burnt and very hard. Our server was quick and the mimosas were yummy. I'd definitely recommend the pembroke if you're in the DuPont circle area! read more

Went for dinner for DC Restaurant week. The restaurant week menu has few choices so we went for the broader menu but still ordered a few restaurant week items à la carte. We all enjoyed our meals and cocktails. For me I had the tomatoes and burrata for an appetizer. Those tomatoes were SO FRESH and good. What was surprisingly delicious was the Drunken Prunes for dessert. They were caramelized plums/prunes with bourbon and ice cream. SO Good! I would go back.

We came to The Pembroke for a cute Sunday brunch. Upon arrival our table was occupied so we had a few minutes wait. The food was okay not great and unfortunately the service wasn't stellar either. While the restaurant was beautifully decorated it was hot and the tap water served was extremely warm. On to the ordering, in our section we had two waiters, but after my latte was forgotten it was clear they weren't always communicating. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the crab cake Benedict. The chicken was fried hard and the waffle a tad dry. The initial cook of the crab cake Benedict came out cold so they remade it with everything on the side to preserve temp. I've never had a cold hollandaise that would make the crab and bread cold so it really didn't make sense to me. While the waitstaff and door staff were pleasant given the issues during our meal I don't think we will return. read more

Lunch was okay - we had some pastas, a salad with salmon, club sandwich - everything was okay, nothing special. The service was sooooo slow! It took 90 minutes to get out of there! I think our waiter forgot to fire the order or something. Not great for a business lunch. Also, I hate when the servers auction off the meals at the table. There's only four of us - surely they can make a note of which seat gets which entree. Amateurish. Maybe dinner service is sharper?

Had a date here as it was a little past 6 PM and the place we originally wanted to go to was packed. It was the perfect spot for a date (dinner and drinks, or just drinks would be good too) as it wasn't too busy, had a nice ambiance, and wasn't too loud. At first we were just going to order drinks, and since there was no more room at the bar we were seated at a table. We ended up ordering food (the vodka pasta and the kale caesar) and it was delicious. The drinks were good, too - I can't find the cocktail list we had online (I think they must have a seasonal one) but I remember the one we liked most had a French name (maybe Les Misérables?). Only thing is the service was slow. It took a long time for my date to get his second drink, and when we ordered another drink later it also took a while despite the place not being super busy. If you don't mind a wait, I'd recommend! read more

Located inside the Dupont Hotel, this restaurant is now one of my absolute favorites in D.C. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm and inviting atmosphere, attentive service, and, most importantly, the incredible food. Our evening began with a round of drinks. The cocktail menu featured a well-curated selection of creative and classic options, and the drinks we ordered were well-balanced and delicious--strong but not overpowering. We decided to try three different starters to get a well-rounded sense of the menu: Bread and Butter - Simple yet elevated. The bread was fresh, warm, and had the perfect crusty exterior with a soft, airy interior. The butter was rich and creamy. Crab - Fresh, tender, and lightly seasoned to allow the natural sweetness of the crab to shine. Octopus - The clear winner among our starters. The texture was perfect--tender with a slight char on the outside, giving it a smoky, delicious depth of flavor. It was paired with a well-balanced sauce and garnishes that complemented, rather than overpowered, the octopus. If you visit, I highly recommend ordering this dish! For our entrées, we each selected different proteins: Pork Chop - Hands down, one of the best pork chops I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection, juicy and flavorful with a beautifully seared exterior that locked in all the juices. The side of charred cabbage added a smoky, slightly sweet contrast, and there was something stuffed inside it--I couldn't quite figure out what it was, but it was delicious. The combination of flavors on the plate was unexpected and worked so well together. I'd return just for this dish alone. Seabass - My date opted for the seabass, and it was just as impressive. The seasoning and accompanying elements on the plate made for a well-balanced and refined dish. While I still stand by my love for the pork chop, I would absolutely recommend the seabass to any seafood lover. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient, making sure we were well taken care of. read more
