What Spumante Merrick likes about Fourth Estate:
The dining room was nice, the company fantastic. The food was a pleasant surprise and filling. I started off with lentil soup followed by a nicely spiced vegetarian dish. The bummer was the waiter who leaned over my food and nearly flipped over my drink. View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Fourth Estate:
I Found this restaurant on TravelZoo. It is located in an inconspicuous place, the 13th floor of the National Press Building. The place was empty. The server was very pleasant. Food came out fast but a little warm. All-in-all, my food was delicious. View all feedback.

Not the easiest to find, but the crab cakes were great but I wasn't as impressed with the sides. The Cadillac Margarita I had was perfect.

BEST KEPT SECRET IN DC! Chef Susan Delbert is a culinary genius. Try the lobster grilled cheese sandwich for lunch!

A hidden treasure. It is open to the public. Well prepared and served food. Chef Susan is great, and so is the rest of the staff.
