    The Greenhouse at the Jefferson Hotel has retained its character and ambiance over the many years I have had the opportunity to dine there. None better that I've experienced in DC except a few and those that were (sadly) lost to Covid impact.

    We had an amazing dinning experience, especial thank you to Mohamed who was exceptionally dedicated to ensuring that our expectations were all met. Actually, everything was beyond our expectation. Everyone that we came across was very pleasant and caring. They highly value of their customers as demonstrated by their superior customer service from start to finish--a great team! Food was great as well and we even were provided small treats to take home! Anyone in the hospitality wishing to improve their customer satisfaction should learn from this great place--no one would want to go to a restaurant to eventually leave disappointed!
