Station Kitchen & Cocktails at The Embassy Row Hotel

Buen lugar para comer alitas.... si le queda cerca de donde se alojará

We stayed at The Embassy Row Hotel a couple years ago and visited the Station Kitchen a couple times. The restaurant seating area is well designed and attractive, with a trendy and slightly chic decor. You can purchase coffee and light bites to eat in the morning which can be eaten at the restaurant or take-away if you want to bring back to your room. Made a couple additional visits to the Station Kitchen during our stay at the hotel. On one occasion, we visited during a late afternoon. Were told to take seat. Unfortunately, after a 15 minute wait in the outside seating area, it seemed nobody was going to serve us menus so we decided to go to the bar an order there instead. Found that the draught beer taps were out of order during our stay so we just enjoyed a round of bottled beers, an order of their herb fries, which were ok and left to eat at one of the area restaurants instead. Returned another evening during our stay and enjoyed a beer at the bar, where they were playing NBA playoff game. This was nice as the playoff games were not being shown in the television in our room. In the end, some awkward experiences at the Station Kitchen, similar to our bad luck with the Rooftop Bar during the time of our stay. Perhaps service staff were stretched at that time. Hopefully other guests will have better experiences with the Station Kitchen during their stays at The Embassy Row hotel.

Superb nice bartender. We were doing a ‘pit stop’ from our exploration of walking around the area. Had draft beer and it was good. Nice place to rest and relax and helpful bartender.

Love everything. Great coffee,,good food, nice service

My family and I came and were served by MJ. When I say we loved her, I mean it! That girl knows the menu, had great recommendations and was extremely fun. I had the shrimp and grits w/the lobster tail. I want to try something else next time but it was so good!

5 stars all around. This restaurant is black owned, food is delicious, service is A1 and fast. Inside of the restaurant is beautiful as well. Good vibes. No complaints at all!!! Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, or just for fun. Forever will be a customer.

Jeff, who works here, is really lovely. Good coffee and great breakfast sandwich and really, really wonderful service. Prices are a bit high on a few things, but no complaints so far regarding anything else! The atmosphere is also great, super cool decor.

I went here months ago, have now moved across the country, and the meal I had here still haunts me. Three of us came in on a weeknight around 6:30, so I expected it to be at least half-full with the positive reviews it had at the time. It was deserted. Because the restaurant and bar are attached to the hotel, we came in the street door (there is no sign that says you can't), but the waitresses and bar staff all googled at us like we were aliens. We looked around for a hostess stand, thinking maybe we had come in the wrong door and needed to wait to be seated (again...deserted restaurant), and they waited for us to actually ask to sit before saying, "Oh yes! Sorry, we're waiting for someone else. Someone will help you once you sit down." We chose a table and they brought us menus. The male waiter we had was very brusque and impatient with us, clearly eager to get back to the bar and chatting with his coworkers/friends. We ordered some drinks, and waited an inordinate amount of time to receive them, including the waiter coming back over to tell us that they were out of basil for one of the drinks we'd ordered (out? the restaurant was EMPTY). When the drinks arrived, they were tiny and ill-conceived--not at all worth the $13-15 we paid for each. We had the Korean caveman pops for a starter, which were smothered in sauce and yet somehow still dry and boring. Two of us had main dishes with pork in them (the Pork-N-Waffles and a dish with pork belly and tomato sauce no longer on their menu) and the third dish I can't recall. What I do remember, though, is the overwhelming sweetness of all three dishes. The meats themselves were flavorless, and like the Caveman pops, everything was covered with excessive sauces. The Pork-N-Waffles tasted like a child was allowed to pour as much Aunt Jemima syrup all over it as they wanted, and not like the great sweet/salty combo it should. My dish, you could barely taste the meat at all. All in all, for a meal costing over $70, it was nowhere near worth the price. A total disappointment, and even more disheartening to see the glowing reviews on here. Don't be fooled, and be discerning about your food; don't eat here.
