Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"Had a wonderful time utilizing the private room. Had a blood orange margaritas-must have. The Travern Caesar was good. The chicken gave it another level. The chicken wings were delish!! The Rigatoni Bolognese was decent portion, with good flavor. Very nice service."
"Mussels were AMAZING, one serving on the starter menu could be a main. Also had one MD crab cake and it was good, but a bit messy after cutting into it. The Barrel Aged Old Fashioned was disappointing. Too chocolatey and the cherry garnish was missing (maraschino is NEVER an acceptable substitute in an Old Fashioned). Other than that, really good place for a hotel restaurant."
"Richard was awesome! Givens Rocks! Good crab dip was great and frozen social drink is also very good."
"The drink was strong, the crab dip was excellent, and the wagyu burger was the the best burger I had in awhile. Chill live music on Wednesdays. Would definitely come again."
"We hosted a retirement social for 20-30 guests in the private space. The space was perfect for our needs. We ordered drinks at the very busy bar, but the bartenders definitely gave our guests priority - which was greatly appreciated. The food suggested tasted great and was more than enough for everyone to enjoy. We would definitely recommend and return."
"Went here for dinner w family and friends. The place isn't that large it seems like the tables are really close together making it a bit hard for servers to get by and customers too. The service was good and the food/drinks were good. It's definitely a bar atmosphere and is loud if there is a crowd in there. Be prepared to speak up."
"@potomacsocialtavern So I'm working in DC this weekend and every i come i stay at the Crown Plaza in Arlington. The hotel is amazing but, the restaurant, Potomac Tavern is just amazing! The service, the food and best of all, the people. I asked my bartender to make me something special. I think I just had the BEST Old fashion ever! He used there own brand of whiskey, Potomac whiskey. So smooth and the flavors just popped! SO GOOD! Of you are in the area stop by and try one.you will not regret it. Thanks Kassa, you rock!"
"I almost didn't come here because of a few of the reviews. Soooo GLAD I took a leap of faith. Service was exceptional (thank you Kassa!) food was excellent, as were the cocktails. We are Mussels Connoisseurs and this one is now our #1 pick. There are a billion restaurants to choose from in Crystal City and this one could easily get overlooked, BUT DON'T! Worth it."
