Kingbird

5-stars based on the brunch and breakfast while staying at the hotel. The food was absolutely amazing. We ate here twice and had the fried chicken, pancakes, sausage and biscuits, mussels, and burger. Favorite dishes were the fried chicken and mussels. Perfectly cooked and seasoned, crispy, savory, I couldn't have asked for better breakfast. The service could have been a bit more efficient, but overall the meal was delicious and I would definitely eat again when staying at the hotel.

We had afternoon tea here on a Saturday. Overall delightful experience. Loved the retro vibe at the Watergate and it was a great afternoon spent with girlfriends. You have to book in advance for between 1-2pm. You also pay in advance to reserve your spot, which was convenient. We came for a friends birthday and while the restaurant was relatively empty at 1PM on a Saturday, there were quite a few tables having tea. Wonderful and diverse tea options and everything tasted fabulous. The sandwiches were delicious and.wd loved the tea and scones! We wished we had a whole tray of scones and biscuits. There were a lot of desserts, which were all delicious and beautiful, but we really loved the spreads and wished there were a few more savory items in place of a few of the desserts. Overall really delightful experience and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Dinner at the famous Watergate Hotel. Of course one would think this could be memorable. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. The same is not true for the bar. Daniel, the bartender, was great. His mastery of the cocktails was amazing. So if you're in the area and looking for a tasty libation pay a visit, and tell Daniel that Jason and I sent you.

Beautiful space, aesthetic food plates, the service was unique & fast. Sea food is really exceptional, fresh. Wine list is great, big selection. Will be back more & more. LOVE THE RESTAURANTFood: 5/5

Luckily my dish was decent but I wouldn’t go out of my way to dine here - but is ok if you’re staying here and just need something to eat. The place was empty and the service was incredibly slow. They got a little too fancy with the ingredients but they didn’t mix that well together. The place is beautiful and the chairs were comfortable so they have potential but the main dishes need some work. Some good news is the bread with garlic was delicious - but needed to be warm. You could tell it was warm but then was left out and was semi warm/cold. I was going to give 2 stars but 3 because according to my friends my dish was the best one so I think this places has potential! If they lowered the prices it would make a little more sense. I’ll give it another shot in a year to see if it gets better! I think I was bummed because I expected top notch from a famous hotel. The restaurant that was there 2017 was my favorite and I miss those dishes.

Update: Return visit one year later in August 2023 and the staff at Kingbird outdid themselves. Due to a rainstorm we were initially unable to enjoy the rooftop bar so our large party descended upon the Kingbird bar instead. The cocktails and service were terrific. We even received some champagne to welcome our guest of honour. Once seated for dinner, the service continued to be impeccable and food delicious. What a special place. Christina, our server, was excellent. Also, the bartender was so kind as to offer up a complimentary bottle of champagne when he noticed that we were gathering to celebrate a special family member. August 2022: Dinner service was terrific. Lump crab salad hit the spot. Very comfy seating. Nice midcentury vibe. Loved the mocktail too!

Immaculate service, beautiful and comfortable seating, and fantastic well-portioned food. The only hiccup was their google listing said they were open at 11am and had breakfast but when I arrived, they were closed until 11:30 when the lunch service was to commence. Ended up having lunch instead and it was wonderful! The potato leek soup in particular was absolutely perfect!

Food was delicious especially the dessert. Asked for HH hour special a few minutes after 6pm and they claimed they couldn't do it, but they could have given the drink at the HH priced if they wanted to. Vegetarian options: Several vegan options on the restaurant week menu Parking: Plenty of street parking.

Exceptional customer service. One of the best French toast I had. Luckily for me, I had two days to try as much breakfast meal. I highly recommend it and it exceeded my expectations. The price is high but you are paying for great quality. After your breakfast you can take a stroll at the water front. I think this is a great selection and you will not be disappointed.

We had a wonderful meal. The pasta and risotto was fresh, tasty and delicious. Our wine was perfect. My only gripe was the party next to us was having fun and talking/laughing loudly. There aren't any baffles on the ceiling to mitigate noise so it was like an echo chamber. My wife was up against the wall with a short wall in between us and them so her experience wasn't as bad. Our server Omar was wonderful also.
