Good food, good service and they know how to make a really good NY Sour! Menu isn’t very extensive but Eberything is good. Will be back!

Service was pleasant and sincere but not very experienced. I ordered pork stew. The meat that wasn’t grizzle was so tough that it was inedible. The chips and dip in place of bread was a nice touch. Setting in old firehouse was fun. I will not be returning on future DC trips.

It was the second time we had a family dinner for at Sixth Engine. Great little place with delicious food!

You cannot beat bottomless **** Mary's and Mimosas (which you can switch between). This is one of my favorite brunch spots in DC. Inside is dark and moody, with a nice patio for warm days. The Eggs Benedict is delicious.

Thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant. The food was delicious, the service was great, and I just loved the old building, itself.

At Sixth Engine, guests enjoy a delightful atmosphere in a refurbished firehouse, where attentive service and impressive drink options shine. Many diners rave about the value and taste of the cocktails alongside standout dishes like the rockfish and filet. However, inconsistencies in food quality, such as chewy meats and uninspired sandwiches, leave some wanting more. Issues with menu availability and timing also surfaced. Despite these shortcomings, the vibrant ambiance and potential for enjoyable meals make it a noteworthy stop near the Capital One Arena, though return visits may depend on individual experiences.

The food was decent but not outstanding. However, there were several issues during our dining experience. The online menu mentioned cauliflower soup, but our server informed us that it was no longer available and that the website was outdated. Despite arriving before 6 pm, the only fish dish on the menu had already sold out, which posed a challenge for one of our group members who does not eat meat. Additionally, they served hot tea without a spoon and did not have straws available when we requested one for a soft drink. It appears that there is room for improvement at this restaurant.

We had a great experience at the restaurant. While in town for our annual convention, we made Sixth Engine our go-to spot for at least one meal during the weekend. The food and service were fantastic. The only downside was a loud party at the bar who were singing loudly and poorly to the music playing over the speaker system. We brought this to the attention of our server, who promptly informed the manager. Fortunately, after a while, the noisy performance quieted down. Despite this minor inconvenience, we will definitely be returning next year to enjoy the amazing food and wine selection.

I ordered the eggs Benedict and it was absolutely delicious! The hash browns were also fantastic! Our server, Moe, was the best - funny and attentive. We indulged in the bottomless mimosas and had a fantastic end to our girls' weekend in DC. I would definitely return! The only downside was that my friend's salad was a bit bland and slightly wilted. However, overall it was a good experience!

My waitress was fantastic! The drinks were a great value and tasty! The food was nothing to write home about. They did not use a planchar to make the Cubano sandwich! The omelet was just an omelet.

The clam chowder was delicious. I prefer thick chowder and this is thin but it tasted like real New England clam 'chowda '. The chorizo stuffers are superb! The lobster rolls are exceptional! If you are familiar with Maine/New England lobster and you want to have the real deal, this is the right place to have it. Beer selection is very good, draft and bottles. They have a very nice outdoor seating area. Service is excellent.

Cheddar Eggs Benedict was great! Got it with side salad as a lighter option for a bottomless mimosa/**** mary deal you can't beat.

Food was good but not great. Brussels sprouts and green beans a highlight, fried chicken sandwich excellent. Good portions, but press coffee was barely darker than tea and service was very slow. Nice bar area with capable barkeep. A good place to watch a game.

The downstairs bar is adorable. Great atmosphere. The bar tools are high-class and the cocktails crafty. A very unique experience. The brunch dishes were very good and they offer bottomless mimosas or **** marys. French press coffee was a real treat. Beware of salt bowls that look like sugar bowls...
