Gadsby's Tavern

An historic dining room with a storied past adds a unique touch to meals at Gadsby's. Once a "publick house" frequented by patriots and presidents, the restaurant still exudes late 18th-century charm, common to the era when George Washington attended balls here. Every last detail, from plates and silverware to cuisine, reaches back in time. Dishes include cornbread-stuffed roast duck in Madiera sauce, Colonial Game Pye, and traditional English desserts. Entertainment is also provided, and costumed performers provide period music and merriment. Reservations recommended. Business casual attire.
