Tabard Inn RestaurantB
1739 N St NW, Washington, DC 20036
· American restaurant
· Dupont Circle
Charming historic inn with standout brunch, creative American cooking, and cozy spaces; dinner quality and service can be uneven and prices trend high for portions.
Why this grade
Tabard Inn earns its grade through exceptional setting appeal and strong local institution status, anchored by reliable brunch execution and thoughtful cocktails. However, inconsistent dinner quality and food safety lapses prevent a higher grade—the restaurant excels as a nostalgic gathering space but shows uneven execution in the kitchen. Best experienced for brunch and cocktails rather than dinner service.
One caveat: Holiday prix fixe perceived as poor value with uneven execution
