Absolutely awesome spot. Went during happy hour and it was awesome. The specials were great. The oysters were absolutely amazing. So so so tasty. The atmosphere is very nice and the bartenders were excellent.

We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night and were surprised at how quiet the restaurant was for prime dining time. The space is very clean, modern, and spacious, with a large bar/lounge area and patio out front. Lighting in the dining room is on the brighter side, while the bar area feels warmer and more inviting. The overall vibe leans upscale, though the branded T-shirt uniforms on the servers didn’t quite match that feel.
Food:
Carrot Risotto ($29)
The better of the two dishes from the night. Made with lemon ricotta, pistachios (removed due to my tree nut allergy), and carrot top pesto (server confirmed no nuts). It was rich and flavorful, with the lemon ricotta especially shining. Portion size was just right since risotto is filling.
Maryland Crab Cake ($30, single)
Underwhelming for the price. The crab cake itself seemed small, hidden under a heavy layer of remoulade, and plated between two piles of corn, which felt like a cheap filler. Not worth $30.
Drink:
Lady Outlaw ($15) – Hands down one of the best cocktails I’ve had recently. Tito’s Vodka, Elderflower Liqueur, house lemon sour, and lavender bitters, served on draft. Tip: if a restaurant has a cocktail on tap, it’s often their signature—popular enough that they batch it for consistency and speed, which means every pour comes out balanced, fresh, and exactly as intended. This one was perfectly executed and absolutely worth ordering.
Service:
Our server introduced himself, was friendly, and got things moving quickly. Drinks and food came out fast, though the restaurant wasn’t busy. Water refills were timely. That said, once entrées hit the table, we weren’t checked on, which was a miss. With so many common allergies on the menu, it would also elevate the experience if servers asked about allergies up front.
Overall:
A mixed but positive experience. The risotto and cocktail were excellent, while the crab cake felt overpriced and uninspired. Service was good but could be a touch more attentive. The space is nice, though the vibe didn’t fully match the “upscale” atmosphere. I’d return, but next time I’d probably sit in the bar area, which feels cozier, and take advantage of the happy hour menu that offers more variety at better prices.

This restaurant is absolutely top-tier! I’ve been here four times now, and it never disappoints. In fact, I even had my engagement party here in 2023. The new GM, Mahalia, was fantastic—she answered all our questions with ease. Our waiter, Richard, provided outstanding service, making our experience even better.
The food? Incredible. My wife couldn’t get enough of the fried rice, while I was hooked on the sliders. The ambiance is laid-back and inviting, perfect for a relaxed yet refined dining experience. A special highlight was the Head Chef personally handling the omelet and waffle station. When we placed our omelet orders, she told us to return in three minutes, but instead, she surprised us by delivering them to our table herself—talk about going the extra mile!
This place exceeds expectations every time. If you’re looking for amazing food, top-notch service, and a great atmosphere, look no further. A solid 10/10!

Meriem and her team were amazing. She ensured that our experience was special. She met our needs even before we were aware. The food was amazing. Don’t miss the Mac and cheese or the charred brussel sprouts. The avocado toast was tasty and the special order omlettes were the best. Don’t miss the Sunday brunch.

We had the loveliest Saturday brunch at Teddy & The Bully Bar. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared, and the bottomless mimosas were such a fun weekend treat.
The best part of the experience was the service. Karen and Armando were outstanding. They were attentive, friendly, and made us feel completely taken care of without ever feeling rushed. They truly made the brunch feel special.
Highly recommend for a fun and elevated brunch in DC.

This place was amazing! The service was fantastic. We were with a large party and the drinks and food were served quickly. The crab cakes are a must try, but my girlfriends chicken dish was also quite tasty. The menu has a lot of other great options which can make ordering a bit of a challenge, but in a good way.
