The Third Rail

Beautiful space with loads of televisions if that's your thing. Grabbed a couple cocktails and a burger at the bar. Service was relaxed and food was yummy:

Thanksgiving 2023 was different for my Mom and I this year since we didn't cook and had dinner here instead. We both ordered from the Thanksgiving Menu; my Mom ordered the turkey and I had the ham. Both had big enough portions for us to take some home for the next day! The service from Ivy and Amy was exceptional! It was my Mom's first time there and she was so impressed by the attentiveness of the staff! She also kept commenting on the holiday decorations and how they created such a warm and inviting atmosphere! It was icing on the cake when she got to thank Chef Dennis for making her Thanksgiving extra special!

My SO and I came here for a late dinner....The ambiance here was chill our Bartender Rob was very welcoming and recommended some pretty amazing food options. We ordered all of them pictured. Would love to come back here again after this experience.

I stay at this hotel, which was a decent stay. The Apple pie and ice cream was delicious according to my son who was skeptical about it. He had never really had Apple pie before. The white sangria was good. The crawfish Mac and cheese was delicious. I was actually surprised because I usually don't like Mac and cheese from restaurants. This one gets an A+.

The Third Rail on 14th Street in DC is a great place to go for quality food and much more in a cool and unique atmosphere. I really like their menu and everything that they have available here. I have been impressed with all of the meals from here.

This restaurant in the Hilton Garden Inn on 14th Street is relatively new. The improvement to this area of the lobby cannot be overstated. I've stayed here many times and originally this area was an underutilized lobby bar. We had dinner here last night and there were some highlights and lowlights. Highlights include new windows to 14th Street when sitting at the bar. The space is well appointed and tastefully decorated. The lowlights mainly concern the food and service. First of all, the biggest warning is what they call their lobster bisque. Seriously, there is nothing 'bisque' about it, as well as nothing 'lobster' about it. It is however, much too salty tomato-ish soup. The other big caution is what they call their Caesar Salad. There is nothing Caesar Salad about it. Not the dressing, not the type of lettuce, not the taste. This is an example of false advertising . They have serious challenges with service. The bartender was almost immediately overwhelmed by an addition of perhaps 6-7 customers besides himself. A manager appeared and we thought she would be able to see he needed help. Nope. She retreated never to be seen again. I hope they evolve and try to make this restaurant on a level of at least standard DC restaurants. I'm pulling for you!

I went there with my husband for a drink, coffee and dessert. We were told by the waitress to sit near the bar to be served. The bartender never came to take our order. We waited for 20 minutes. My husband asked the bartender to help us, and he proceeded to give her the order. One of the things he asked for was decaffeinated coffee. She said she couldn't make decaffeinated coffee. She offered us water instead. It was clear she was too busy with the bar. It did not seem like she had enough help. We decided to leave, and will not plan to go to this bar. It's too bad because we are staying at the hotel where it is located.

The Third Rail was welcome and delicious treat for the four nights we ate there. Wonderful variety of appetizers, entrees , deserts and made to Oder drinks. We were welcomed by friendly waiters who made time to ensure we got the best choices, personal service even went they were very busy. That personal service and food quality prepared by the executive chef from Paris, France were the reasons we returned each night. It was amazing to taste a dressed salad like I had in France along with delicious seafood, chicken and beef with the executive chef's training and staff guidance. We highly recommend this gastro pub and restaurant for its food, comfortable ambiance and friendly chef/personal who took their time to make sure our nightly experience was amazing.

Amazing restaurant attached to the Hilton. Great bar and great food. Dinner menu is limited, however what they do have they do really well. They have happy hour specials at the bar with good apps. Solid kids menu. Breakfast is buffet and is a little pricey, but they have a lot. Now for the big deal with them. Service is bar none best I have ever had. All the servers are so friendly and incredible. They care, and we're so good to my son and I. Ivy especially at dinner. She took the time to talk to us and ask us about our day. I felt appreciated and like we were actually cared about. I cannot say enough for the service and everyone working here. They are just incredible and so nice. My son dropped a glass on accident and they quickly got it cleaned up. Every person working in the restaurant came to check on him and make sure he knew he wasn't in trouble. Absolutely epic. The burger and chicken blt are amazing. Highly recommend it. The vibe of the restaurant is really awesome too. They utilize space well and it is comfy and inviting. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting.

What a pleasant surprise. We were staying in the Hotel and we were so exhausted we decided to just eat here and we are so glad we tried it. It was very good and the service was top notch. We had the wings, steak and the pasta and the kids had the burger. Everything was very good. Definitely recommend!
