    Food was delicious and service was great. Was a great experience from beginning to end. The sesame tuna and tenderloin were superb. Apple crumb too and the fennel and persimmon salad. Don’t live in the area but if I did I would frequent this restaurant.

    Washington House is on my list of favorite places to go. I love the beautifully decorated outdoor tent with the heated floor. Even though it was cold last night, we dined comfortably. Our server Miguel was attentive and professional and my dinner was delicious. I’m looking forward to going back soon!

    Had to sit in the outdoor tent area. It was very loud and chilly…Some items on menu were very pricey.. only offered one Chardonnay by the glass at $22.00.

    My first time here and I will be back.The food and service were excellent and the noise level was great. We were able to have a nice conversation over dinner. It's a bit pricey but worth it!

    Great food… probably 10% too expensive but ambiance makes up for it if seated inside the house instead of tent. Charging $4 for a no refill iced tea feels a bit odd. Service is attentive and polite but the corporate feel of the vests + iPads comes across a touch banquet-y rather than the foodie feel that the restaurant and the menu prices likely attract.
    Washington House RestaurantResponded on 21 November 2024
    Hi David - We in fact do offer free refills of many standard drinks, iced tea included. Our staff is dressed for the various seating options we have and our uniforms and technology allow us to provide efficient service given our size and range. Appreciate the feedback. Team WH.
