About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Neighborhood gem
Gatsby is a reimagined American diner by KNEAD Hospitality + Design. With favorites like the famous monte cristo sandwich, fried chicken or today's blue plate special, Gatsby brings you back to the days of the diner, but from a fresh perspective. Whether you crave breakfast at any time of day or a smashburger & a milkshake, Gatsby is the perfect place. Located at the corner of Half and N Streets, directly in front of Nats Park's Centerfield Gate, and overlooking the ballpark from our second floor dining room, Gatsby is the perfect pre/post game venue from which to celebrate.

    From the moment we walked in until we left we were treated with the upmost respect and excellent service. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. At one point the manager stopped by our table to say hello and check on us. We were with friends that we have not seen in ages and we were given the time and space to stay and catch up with them without feeling rushed. Our food and drinks were very good and overall we had a fantastic night! Thank you to everyone at Gatsby for a great visit! We will be back!

    The maitre'd was superb. Food good but onion rings are a bit over breaded. Should offer A1 or BBQ sauces rings/fries. Draft beer selection excellent. A key thing is that there is no restroom on the first floor.

    Food and service were great, as always. My one complaint is that with the handheld payment device, I could not see that I was not given Happy Pricing on my beer. I will be sure to ask for an itemozed bill next time.

    My overall experience was just average. The service was extremely slow in the beginning so much that my husband and I contemplated about leaving. I will not return due to the food just being okay along with all the brunch rules. However, one positive note is I liked that you could switch your unlimited drinks during brunch, allowing you to taste the different options.

    The food? Just okay. Nothing terrible, but nothing memorable either. Service was the real letdown. Slow, inattentive, and kinda threw off the whole flow. If you’re going for the ambiance, it’s worth a visit. If you’re going for the food or experience? Might wanna keep it moving.
