Had a very enjoyable dinner. The service was pleasant and just right. Was slightly disappointed by the falafel appetizer portion size, but the falafel itself was delicious. Try the petit filet over the new york strip.
Stayed at the hotel for five days and went for breakfast two times since we had $60 credit per day. The ambiance is beautiful and food was great. I had The Capital Breakfast $33 and my husband had the waffle. My breakfast came with two eggs, fresh juice, toast or you choice of pastry, bacon or ham, potatoes and coffee. The waffle and the chocolate croissant pain au chocolat was so delicious! My pastry was so moist yet crunchy on the ends and was incredible. There weren’t enough staffs and looked very busy but they were all extremely kind.
I’m a huge fan of the St Regis and I’ve been to many of its properties, but this restaurant experience was not up to par. The burger was beautifully presented but it became indigestible a few hours later to the point of near sickness.
Service was very slow and inattentive. We sat for at least an hour after ordering our food. When the food came it was cold. When we brought it to the wait staff attention, it was brought back to us warm, but tough and chewy. Overall, the food was of mediocre quality and over seasoned. The occasion to bring the family together for a special holiday dinner was a big let down. The manager of this restaurant does the beautiful location and the patrons looking for a wonderful evening a great disservice.
Alhambra was below expectations in our special Valentine’s Day dinner. The restaurant was busy that night. Valentine’s Day dinner at Alhambra only offered a pre-set menu of $100 per person or $140 with wine, which wasn’t worth it. Small sizes and taste was average. Regular menu was not an option that night. The service was awful. Few servers for all tables, always saying Sorry for being behind, which made this pricey experience not our best choice. It took a long time for the server to come greet us, and show us the menu. Also, took a long time to pick up the plates between servings which was annoying. Pretty much the only thing that was done right away, was the check.
Come to this brunch hungry! So my husband and I decided to try Alhambra because it was featured in TravelZoo and had a great discount. We were not disappointed. The St. Regis hotel is beautiful and elegant...like many other places in DC, it is also a historical landmark. The service is very friendly and attentive....though we also came early. Our mimosas were bottomless and the hors d'oeuvres were tasty, but a few of the hot bar items were just lukewarm. The cold bar was excellent....loved the oysters. Then there was the entree....I ordered the lobster eggs benedict and my husband ordered the lamb shank. Both meals were so good. Just be prepared for the large portions and try to save room for those delicous desserts! :-
My wife and I treated ourselves to the Alhambra's luxurious Sunday jazz brunch. It was expensive, but well worth every penny. We had a fantastic time! The food, service, music and ambiance were all great. Everything is buffet style, except the main course which you order off the menu. We started with the raw bar, salad, cheese and charcuterie, along with bottomless mimosas. There is also a bottomless bloodymary option. We followed this with some small quiches and fruit salad, before our main course. For our entrees, I had a lobster benedict like dish and my wife had a fabulous chicken and waffles. We were stuffed after, but found a little more room to try some of the exquiset mini desserts. The jazz musicians were wonderful and the dining room was fairly intimate. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves immensely and we'll have to come back sometime to try their dinner service. We highly recommend this place for a celebratory brunch.
Wonderful breakfast here in the St Regis Hotel after a delightful evening with my son in DC last evening. Had the Capital Breakfast and enjoyed every bite! Highly recommended!Dine in: Yes
Absolutely 5 stars, from the hostess to Maître d'hôtel to servers and busser! Praises to the chefs. We all enjoyed every meal. Now, this missed the Diamond mark because of bellhop. The older gentleman with red jacket never greeted nor interacted with us warmly. He was even brash with us as we left. Otherwise, all else was superlative!
The breakfast is nice, but I don't recommend going to the restaurant at the St. Regis for dinner. There were 3 of us and it was not busy, but still a challenge to get service. First, I asked to have the empty booth but the waiter didn't seem to understand and then tried to place a chair at the end which was not necessary. Then the food was okay, but getting the guy to come back throughout was very hard. I actually had to wave down the manager for drinks. They were more occupied with setting empty tables than serving us. Not what you would expect for these prices.
