The Scene
A cool remodel added to the fusion-confusion of this hugely popular Broadway hangout for the young and hip. Twenty-somethings congregate in the front room, chatting furiously and looking out onto the sidewalk cafe and the human parade.
The Food
Food quality ranges wildly. The smoky, moist rotisserie chicken is terrific and the over-praised burgers on white-bread-y buns are mediocre--the deep-fried fries and appetizers, however, leave much room for improvement. Recommended bites: generous salads on chilled plates and a soup of smoked chicken, black beans and bits of broccoli--it's so thick it could stand on its own without a bowl. Morning fare includes egg dishes, pecan Belgian waffles and specials like prime-rib hash--some being available anytime. Lunch ranges from sandwiches to pastas to an ahi gyro. Dinner brings the addition of modestly-priced steak and prime rib. The bar pours good drinks, many of them clever/campy.

I came here with two friends one time. We went in and were seated in the back even though there were several tables up front, and then were ignored for the better part of half an hour. Our waiter came over and brought us water and then promptly left again. Ten minutes later we found out that wasn't our waiter, just the water boy. Our actual waiter came over took our order and went about his business. About twenty minutes later he comes over and says he's sorry but he forgot to put our order in so it would be a little longer. Finally we get our food, and then didn't see our waiter for another fifteen minutes after we finished eating. I got up and went to the computer/register area where he was standing chatting to his friends and asked for it. He rolled his eyes, brought us the bill, and walked away. No thank you or anything. I know it's not like he's supposed to wait on us hand and foot, but he could have at least given us SOME kind of service. I will NOT be going back here. Ever.

It would be the Broadway Grill. Fun atmosphere and great food. From the wide variety of people, to the louder than normal music and the foutnains to the bathroom pictures, the Broadway Grill is the epitome of Capitol Hill. The food is very tasty, but there are not many choices. My personal favorite is the Macaroni Au Gratin. When they seat you, ask to be sat in the atrium or up front as the back room seems to be forgotten. Overall a great eating experience.

I LOVE the sweet potato fries and dipping sauces here - and they're pretty much the only things that keep me coming back. I went here with seven friends once, with our orders ranging from burgers to salads to sides. Not one of us liked our food, except for the sweet potato fries. Service was ridiculously slow, and the wait staff was surly and rude. I would suggest getting take out, if you want to get food from here at all.
