Reviews for The Lafayette in 800 16th St NW, WA
The Hay-Adams has become one of my favorite hotels. The staff is amazing, the hotel is quaint and brings that old-historical... charm. The Lafayette restaurant at the Hay-Adams, exemplifies its elegance and luxury in fine dining. I was very fortunate tohave Giovanni as our server multiple times at the Lafayette. We even were able to meet the sous chef and question him on some ofthe amazingly delicious dishes he constructed. The pictures don?t do the taste justice. You will have to experience it foryour self.

We went to the Lafayette for breakfast. Our waiter, Emmanuel, was extremely friendly, humorous and attentive. The French Toast... came with hot maple syrup and the Lafayette Eggs Royale were accompanied by hollandaise sauce, which blended well with the richsalmon and eggs. Read more
Second time back in DC for a weekend and we are in Hay Adams again after 10 years. The food never disappoints and in fact... everything was superb! Rack of lamb and Crab gnocchi were excellent. You have to order the soufflé! The ambiance was finedining yet the wait staff are so warm and pleasant! We stayed for a 3 hour dinner and it was a beautiful and elegant experience Read more
Amazing restaurant located in the Hay Adams hotel. Reservations were done via Google and confirmed by the restaurant a couple... days in advance. Table was ready 45 minutes in advance. Their customer service from initial greeting through the whole dinnerwas amazing. Very good wine menu and you also have a cocktail menu as well. We tried a mushroom soup and octopus for appetizers. Ordered chicken breast and bronzini for main course. For our dessert we had creme Brule. Everything was amazing and tasty. Wewill definitely come back. Read more
We decided on this restaurant to celebrate our 27th wedding anniversary because of the spectacular views and ambience. When we... found out that the view we were seeking was not available, the manager went above and beyond to get a private tour of just thatview. He wanted our day to be special and he did just that. The food was fabulous and everyone is so customer focused. The moodwas romantic with the live piano player and decor. I highly recommend this restaurant for your special day. Read more
This was one of the best parts of me visiting Washington DC. The ambience was breath taking and the food (and wine selections)... were exactly what I wanted for my special day. The staff was professional and very attentive to our needs. The pianist played?Happy Birthday? which was an enjoyable added surprise! Thank you The Lafayette for making my birthday so special. I will bevisiting again! ???? Read more
