Ted’s Bulletin Capitol Hill never disappoints. The new spring menu has added some great dishes. Today I tried the Bacon Jam and Brie Burger. The bacon jam has a great balance of flavors between the bacon and sautéd onions. The double burger comes on a toasted bun with the bacon jam and perfectly melted Brie cheese. What’s not to love! The burger along with French fries topped off with cherry cheesecake for dessert is the perfect meal. Service is always friendly with just the right amount of attention. Even now when they are especially busy with Cherry Blossom visitors, they still keep a positive friendly attitude. I highly recommend Ted’s whether for a casual meal, business meeting or celebration, they have you covered.

My fiancé and I had a reservation for breakfast ahead of the Phillies-nationals game on a Sunday morning. Our table was ready within a few minutes, but the wait for others was about an hour. The food (big mark breakfast, the make your mark, cherry blossom tart, strawberry tart) was delicious. Our server was quick and kind. The restaurant itself is cool inside. Highly recommend.

Great food and service! Mac and cheese bites, cornbread, brussel sprouts, chicken and waffles, Turkish eggs, chicken Parmesan, and all of the Ted's Tarts were a huge hit with the family.

Our server was great. The restaurant had a smell to it. From the Instagram pictures it looks very classy, it was not. The crab cake Benedict tasted off. For $70 I would go somewhere else
