Jefferson Hotel

The Jefferson Hotel is one of the finest locations in DC and they provided a lovely setting for our Sunday Brunch after the wedding event. The food was excellent and room very nice. However the service was lacking as we ordered a champagne brunch and this was not served until the host had to ask for the wait staff to make an appearance. Champagne was sitting in buckets within the room but it seemed as if this was intended to be self-service (as the coffee bar was). Also we had ordered special menu cards for each place setting to celebrate Mother's Day and the staff made a decision not to place these on the tables. This was very disappointing, but in the end we had an enjoyable event. We expected the highest level of service especially considering a 21% gratuity is added to the bill regardless of service quality. The staff has since recognized their lack of service and we believe this was just an unusual occurrence on a very busy day.
