1331 Bar & Lounge — Restaurant in Washington

Stayed at the JW and came to eat here twice once with our kids then with a group of almost 20. I’ll start with our family dinner we all ordered burgers with fries and 2 pretzel appetizers. Food came fast they brought appetizers with both kids meals. They were great my picky eaters enjoyed it. Our 3 dinners were not. My meal came good except they used wrong cheese and covered it up with the right one but my daughter and husband’s burger came bloody. Sent them back to the kitchen my husband said he didn’t want it so Manager came and comped us 1 meal which was nice but my daughter’s burger was still wrong. After sitting in the lobby my daughter went to the room with a bad stomach ache. Later that night we went with a group and honestly we wouldn’t have came back if it wasn’t so cold and late. Sever for our group was not so good and that’s the nicest way to put it. We ordered a bunch of appetizers for the table which were all good. Overall most liked their meals but burgers were still coming undercooked. I’m not sure if they were having some issues or not but that’s twice in a day. Desserts were good only with we got utensils when they were served. All the kids liked their meals and no issues with them. Menu is very limited also it’s more dinks than food. Ambiance was good. They are super strict on kids meals they said no to one of the kids in our group because they weren’t under 12. Which blew my mind because I’ve never seen a restaurant have a server tell the guest they can’t order off the kids menu. I could deal with all the mess ups and undercooked food but telling a guest they couldn’t get a kids meal definitely made me say...

A Hidden Gem right near the White House. My wife and I had a very wonderful and romantic dinner there last weekend. Our server Allen was incredible. The food and the drinks were great. Both my wife and I had the salmon and it was delicious. The other reason I highly recommend this place is the history that is steeped into the space. This location has a long history in Washington DC. It was the former site of the Imperial Hotel and Shoemaker's bar. This is where some of the biggest names of stage stayed and drank at from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. This is where Colonel Ricky created the drink named after him. This is where John Wilkes Booth plotted his devious plans. Come here for the wonderful dining, service...

Tucked deep inside the JW Marriott, this swank little bar is perfect for intimate conversations or classy drinks with friends. If you want speedier service, sit at the bar, otherwise prepare to wait eons for your drinks and food. The staff is friendly, just oddly slow. The drinks were fantastic - I especially enjoyed the Potomac Pear-suasion and District Drop martinis - they pour them (perfectly) at your table. The food is elegant and tasty. Our group really enjoyed the seating area arrangements with booths made of armchairs and couches around tables with your own flatscreen TV and remote control. While it runs on the higher-end of prices, they are fitting for the environment...
