The cinnamon roll is the best thing and definitely something to split with 3+ people. All the food is amazing and excellent quick service.

The food quality to price is ridiculous. Ordered the $24 Chicken Parmesian. The unsalted fettuccine was so over cooked, it was gelatinous. The tomato sauce had zero flavor. It's almost like they expected the melted mozzarella cheese on the chicken to be all the flavor this dish needed. It's hard to mess up pasta, but this place took it to the next level. Stick to breakfast at this place.

We took our 16-year old boys to dinner and all had a wonderful time. Our server was friendly, smiling and helpful with recommendations. From starters to milkshakes to meatloaf, steak and cheese to Mexican street corn our whole family loved their meals. We shouldn’t have continued, but we ordered dessert. We’re still stuffed the next morning, but no one is complaining about the coconut cake, cherry cream pie or decadent, moist chocolate cake and amazing homemade pop tarts…maybe we should go back tonight - getting hungry typing this. Great server, excellent meals, nice upbeat music that wasn’t too loud - we could all hear each other talk. Will go back next time we’re in town!

The place is increasingly dingy and the back dining room and restroom areas need a good scrub. It was a little depressing and frankly, gross back there. I don’t think the management is paying attention to what the customer sees back there. Didn’t make me hungry.

The service was excellent. It was packed after the cherry blossom 10 miler, but Staff was on it. Very courteous, prompt service and the food was excellent.

I was so set on ordering the 1/2 roasted chicken. When our server came back to take our order, she informed us that it was not prepared for the day. Had the pot roast instead. Was pretty good. The fried chicken on the Cobb was amazing. Corn bread portion could be larger.

Ted’s Bulletin Capitol Hill never disappoints. The new spring menu has added some great dishes. Today I tried the Bacon Jam and Brie Burger. The bacon jam has a great balance of flavors between the bacon and sautéd onions. The double burger comes on a toasted bun with the bacon jam and perfectly melted Brie cheese. What’s not to love! The burger along with French fries topped off with cherry cheesecake for dessert is the perfect meal. Service is always friendly with just the right amount of attention. Even now when they are especially busy with Cherry Blossom visitors, they still keep a positive friendly attitude. I highly recommend Ted’s whether for a casual meal, business meeting or celebration, they have you covered.

My fiancé and I had a reservation for breakfast ahead of the Phillies-nationals game on a Sunday morning. Our table was ready within a few minutes, but the wait for others was about an hour. The food (big mark breakfast, the make your mark, cherry blossom tart, strawberry tart) was delicious. Our server was quick and kind. The restaurant itself is cool inside. Highly recommend.
