Martins Tavern (Georgetown)

My friend and I went to Martin's for dinner. We were immediately greeted by the hostess. We were sat in the famous booth 3 where JFK proposed to Jackie which was pretty cool. And as soon as we were sat i noticed that the NBC news Anchor Chris Mathews and his wife were sitting in the next booth over.
The place has a great atmosphere and it is often that you might just notice someone famous there.
As far as the food goes, we ordered three apps and two main courses.
The three apps were the mussels, Pan seared Sesame Tuna and Lump Crab Cocktail that was were amazing. As far as the entrees goes we ordered the Meatloaf and Chicken Marsala. I was not impressed with the Meatloaf hence why i gave them only 4 stars on other sites. As a chef, I have seen many types of meatloaf I know other places can make better meatloaf. The Chicken Marsala was sensational and plenty enough for us to take home.
The service was on point and our server Alejandro made sure that everything was delivered on time. Our drinks were filled as soon as they were empty. This place has been around since 1933. Its been passed down from Grandfather to Grandson. Its the oldest family owned restaurant in DC. And just about every American President has dined at Martin's since the 30's.
Their consistency with their food and service that's been around for that long, Is impressive.
This is one of my top favorite restaurants in DC ranked at number 10.
Always make reservations. They are a very busy restaurant.
I will def go back.
