My wife, son, and I stopped by Gatsby for brunch and had a great experience.
I ordered the chicken and waffles, my wife had the mumbo wings, and our son got the kids hot dog meal — which was honestly adult-sized. The food was solid across the board. Everything came out fresh, flavorful, and well-portioned.
The atmosphere really stood out. The design and artwork throughout the restaurant give it a cool, upscale vibe without feeling stiff. It’s a very well-thought-out space. The bar is massive and impressive — you can even see it from the second floor, which adds to the overall aesthetic.
The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive without being overbearing. Service felt smooth and welcoming.
One of the best parts is the location. Sitting there with a direct view of Nationals Park through the windows makes it a scenic spot, especially if you’re in the area for a game or just exploring Navy Yard.
Overall, it’s a very nice spot with good food, great design, and a strong atmosphere. We’d definitely come back.

Came here after my flight to IAD and before a connecting flight. This place caught my attention because of how beautiful the interior was.
Good:
– Super nice ambiance, feels like a jazz club
– The bolognese pasta was really tasty and huge portion size
– The staff were super nice and patient, they let me take my laptop out and work as well.
Bad:
– Overpriced, paid $40 for my meal and just had a soup and a bowl of pasta.
Overall this was a bougie stop but I enjoyed the vibes and resting here before my next flight.

10/10 Absolutely AMAZING! We went for NYE and had the best experience. The customer service was wonderful from the moment we walked in, I felt welcomed. The manager on site was absolutely fantastic so friendly, funny, and genuinely nice. We got pretty lit with the bottomless drinks, and she kept us company while we waited for our ride.
All of the food was awesome no complaints at all. It was so fun getting to try so many items on the menu; honestly, a girl’s dream Bacon and tequila + wings?! I was sad I didn’t get dessert, but I definitely will next time because I’m officially a regular now lol.
The bartender was great to watch as he perfected each drink, and our waiter checked on us with a smile the whole time. I could honestly go on and on about this place.
Let’s just say you’ll definitely be seeing me again! Thanks, Gatsby, for making our NYE dinner so sweet.

I really hate to start a review like this because I had high hopes walking into Gas Speed for brunch. The atmosphere was solid, the bar looked amazing, and it could’ve been a great time — but the vibe went downhill fast.
Our hostess seemed confused from the jump. Half of our party was left standing outside in plain view because they wouldn’t seat us until everyone was inside. Even after we all came in, we still waited another 10 minutes. While we were waiting, staff were just posted up (see photo).
We came to watch the game, and I asked ahead of time if we could sit downstairs for that reason. Instead, they tried to seat us upstairs where there were no TVs. Then we asked if our party of six could have tables pushed together and were told no — that they “couldn’t do anything like that,” so we had to make it work.
Here’s the part that really bothered me: about 30 minutes later, a party of 10 came in and they immediately pushed tables together for them… while we’re sitting there watching it happen.
Our waiter, Alex, was cool. He worked the bar, stayed professional, and handled what we needed — but the responses were a bit slow. We all sat down at the same time, and one of our friends ordered first (the “Taste of Gatsby” combo). Everyone else’s food came out, and they were still sitting there with only deviled eggs and some biscuits. It was awkward watching them sit across the table looking hungry, disappointed, and honestly kind of left out, while Alex had to go track down what happened.
The food was okay, but it wasn’t good enough to overshadow what felt like selective treatment and disorganized service.

This experience was amazing !! We took a day trip to DC 10/10 no complaints! Food was phenomenal, we demolished it. Service was exceptional! Extra points for the manager checking in. From the door to back of house they treated us greatly.

I rather brunch in other areas than navy yard but honestly we had a blast here. It was the only place we could make a reservation for 6 people for brunch last minute. The servers were great and so quick with drinks. We got thru a lot in our 2 hour limit the food wasn’t amazing but was good and overall value was good! I’d come back with a big group again.

The service was a little slow but management was on top of them to get them to move a little faster. Other than that everything was great. The vibe was good. The customer service was excellent. The management services is excellent.

What a terrible restaurant! Arrived and the music was so loud, that I asked if they could lower it & the hostess firmly said NO without even giving it thought. Then, we sit down for BRUNCH, and i’m expecting good coffee. Turns out, they don’t have a coffee menu, no latte options and NO oat milk to cater to lactose intolerant people! Then the food ? TERRIBLE. I ordered $31 crab cakes egg benedict and the eggs were NOT poached and the hollandaise sauce was dry and plastic. the crab cake was ashy, no seasoning. never coming back and definitely asking for a refund.

I cannot give higher praise to Gatsby! My husband and I went to warm up from the cold during InKind week and it was a brunch to remember. 100/10 service, Dashawna was kind, funny, and thoughtful with attention to detail and lots of generosity. They made us feel like VIPs. Our new fave brunch place! Thank you again to Gatsby!
