3 reviews for The Lafayette At The Hay Adams Hotel
Nice, solid food. Great, historic location. A little on the "adult" side. This is a place for lobbyists, the wealthy, the wannabe wealthy.
I've eaten here several times and found it to be the perfect place for lunch or dinner, with dependable, friendly, professional service and a surprisingly warm atmosphere given that it could easily tilt to the stuffy side.
The views during lunch are better, particularly when it's sunny. By the way, i think this is where people like G. Gordon Liddy plotted the fire-bombing of the Brookings Institution. So, think about that when you eat there planning something less (hopefully) historic. :)
This place is near the White House and I have heard big shots go here but I was not impressed with the food or the service. The place had a stuffiness to it. It did not live up to its look and uptightness.
I came to Lafayette for a business lunch, and was treated to the best chicken salad I've ever had in my life. Ever since this experience, I have been searching and searching to no avail for a chicken salad that even comes close. The dining area is beautiful, attached to the five star Hay-Adams Hotel near the White House. The service is excellent, and I would really love to come back here sometime for dinner. I'm guessing a lot of "important" people come here, because the other guests were a bit stuffy -- which is my only complaint. It is a bit pricey, as you may have guessed.
