The Mayflower Club

Came for an event, purchased a table ahead of time through the Eventbrite link. When we arrived at 8:10pm we were treated with ignorance and rudeness. The bouncer and the owner were standing at the entrance. We thought we were getting in the entrance line, the bouncer let us know we were in his way and we could not stand there. Again we thought it was the line to enter. We moved to the other side of the area. He continued to make smart comments. As I was talking to the owner asking where we should stand to wait because we were there for the event, he let us know they were running behind. I don't understand how you can be rude and disrespectful when you are not opened on time. We moved out of his way and he continued to side eye us and drag his rails near our feet although we were out of his way. We were honestly dumbfounded and confused. He let us know he didn't have to explain anything to us. A host for the event we were attending came outside and let him know we needed to enter. He then said you can come in if you want. He said we could not bring umbrellas inside and said leave them out here or something. The host then said no they can put them in the bucket inside. The owner stood there with a grin the entire time. We were checked in and walked to our table. When I went to order drinks at the bar the owner approached me and said he spoke to the bouncer and gave us free drinks. I can't stand when people think giving free things makes up for piss poor professionalism. The drinks were amazing! The bartender was very friendly, unlike the other staff we encountered. We also ordered a hookah. About 30 min into smoking the hookah the coals went out. After searching for the hookah guy I finally found him and asked if he could change our coals. He rudely let me know they don't give new coals. We would need to buy a new head. I said ok that's fine and asked if he'd come over to our table once he was done assisting the customers he was attending to. He said "I don't need to come over there you can just pay now." I let him know I would go get my card, and that he was being rude. I also let him know it may be a good idea to check on the customers with hookahs. In a busy club we should not have to hunt him down. He then went back and forth with me. I walked away, he came to our table to let me know when he does check on female customers they are rude. So I let him know he cannot prejudge all female clientele. He then offered the hookah head refill for free. Yet again that's not the right way to correct the issue. This place is so cute and has a lot of potential but if you treat your patrons like crap you won't have any. I've come here before a few times while club hoping and this location is ALWAYS empty. Tonight they were very busy due to the event being thrown. I understand dealing with customers in this capacity may be overwhelming and frustrating but you cannot belittle, disrespect and just offer free stuff to condone your poor service and experience. Unfortunately this has left a very sour impression and I most likely would t return or recommend to others.

We visited The Mayflower Club on an early weeknight and it hadn't quite transitioned into club hours so it wasn't crowded at all. Although it wasn't quite a club scene yet, they still had music playing to enjoy. We had a really good server and tried more than a few menu items - lamb, chicken, fries, mashed potatoes, and ice cream. For the most part, the food was good but I would have liked a bit more flavor. The overall interior looked nice.

This place is walkable from DuPont Circle South exit. Maybe 5+ minutes.Came on a Saturday afternoon. I had a mocktail that was the bartender created. It was super sugary tho, I barely drank half of it.Gratuity is automatically includedThere is also a Fair Wage Surcharge that is automatically includedPlace was clean, trendy. Bathroom was clean and had selfie lit mirrors lol

I came here on a saturday night and the ambiance and decor are very pretty. There is a DJ as well which makes for a fun night out. The service was good and I had an overall good experience. I enjoyed the drinks, there was a lemon drop special, I had a strawberry one and it was delicious! My friends got the mayflower spritz and it wasn't bad but wasn't something they wanted to reorder. Food wise, like most DC places that have a nice aesthetic, didn't necessarily hit the mark for me personally. The biggest downfall was that me and one of my friends both got shrimp scampi and the portion was small and the noodles were HARD. However, we had crab cake appetizers which were really good and another friend has the steak frites and liked it as well. This place also turns into a nightclub at night and it's really centrally located in Dupont. I think I would return for drinks/apps before hitting the bars/clubs nearby!

During the Winter Food Festival, my friends and I decided to explore the Mayflower Club. They offered two meal options: a 4-course or a 3-course meal. Opting for the latter, we embarked on our culinary adventure.My friends and I sipped on various drinks--mocktails for me, while they indulged in an Old Fashioned and the signature Mayflower Drink.For my three courses, I selected the following:1. Lobster Bisque: The bisque was poured tableside, emphasizing the experiential aspect. While it was decent, I detected a slightly fishy taste.2. Stripped Bass: Unfortunately, the bass didn't quite live up to its visually stunning presentation. The aroma was overly fishy, and the flavor failed to impress.3. Cream Catalana: Among the three courses, this dessert stood out. Its lightness and delicate flavors made it the highlight of the meal.Among the other dishes we ordered, we got the Baked Brie, Tuna Ceviche both of which were fine and Filet Mignon. While the Filet Mignon is typically considered an indulgent choice, my friend remarked that she has experienced better elsewhere.My wife eagerly anticipated her dessert--the Chocolate Flambé. The theatrics of the flambé were intriguing, but unfortunately, it failed to deliver the expected chocolate lover's delight. She was left disappointed by its lack of panache.However, the ambiance posed challenges. The live DJ in the dining area made conversation difficult--we practically had to shout to communicate. Overall, while the Mayflower Club exudes elegance and expense, it falls short in terms of food taste and quality added with the live music situation.

Hey food lovers, I really enjoyed myself at the Mayflower Club. The ambience is simply amazing. The service was A1 from start to finish. The manager was very attentive as well. When I say their lamb is in my top 3, I really mean it. You want to savor every single bite. The food presentation was perfect. Perfect for first dates, birthday party or just a casual night out. Provided video below. Food:Smoked Lamb chops with asparagus, potato purée and pickled onion.

I went there for a Sunday brunch it's a variety of food ( unlimited 40$ ) open buffet from 2 until 5 all you can eat.. they have bottomless mimosas, too.. Dinnes.. Michelle served us very well.. in top of the amazing team, Ash is always there to make sure you get the perfect experience.. highly recommend for everybody anytime you are in DC

Definitely understand this is a club type restaurant but the music was too loud. It's cute but just note that when you trying to have a conversation. The calamari was amazing. Nice crunchy and the sauce was good. The mocktail amazing i appreciated the waitress looking out. The shrimp scampi was good noddles could have been cooked a lil longer and it would have been nice if they took the time to take the tail off. The desert sampler was nothing to write home about either would give the food overall 6/10 only thing making it at least that is the calamari. I personally wouldn't return but it was a nice experience

Came here for my niece birthday. It's a beautiful restaurant/club. You see the decor literally a block away. The staff were respectful and helpful. Our dinner party was on the upper level. I arrived a little late as traffic getting here was a nightmare. The server was able to get my food order in just in time before the kitchen closed at 10:45pm. I ordered a Cherry blossom Margarita and the TROFIE AL PESTO 22. The cocktail was delicious... that deserves 5 stars. My pasta was ok. I wish it had sautéed spinach or tomatoes or something lol. It was the only non meat dish on the menu besides salad so it was only option. The restaurant transitions to a full nightclub around 12am so be prepared for that if you're dining with a large group. All in all I had a good time with my family, the restaurant just didn't meet the hype to me. The ambiance and cocktails did but not the food. And I'm a good lover. I would go again for a girls night out to party but not for dinner service.

The Mayflower Club was so neon chic fabulous!!The decor, the lighting, and artwork is trendy with pops of royal colors...and the service was kind and accommodating.We initially had 2 tables for 4 ppl each table..because we could not secure an 8 person reservation, but I called (technically texted) ahead of time and asked if the 2 tables could be in proximity to one another. I was told the obligatory "we can not guarantee but we'll try our best", response.And the Mayflower sure did their absolute best and seated us at an 8 person table...thank you!! It also helped that the restaurant was not too busy when we arrived and we only stayed for an hour and some change.Also, Our servers and waitresses were kind and efficient, and kept our table clear, our orders correct, and our water glasses full.The 2 bathrooms (upstairs) were each clean and single stall...and overall the upstairs area is spacious and cute. We only ordered appetizers since we had dinner plans already, but everything was tasty! but they're not huge portion sizes, so just a heads up.Overall, we highly recommend Mayflower Club!!Ps..there's plenty of garage parking nearby.
