The Monocle Restaurant

Housed in an 1885 building near Union Station, the establishment carries a storied reputation as Capitol Hill’s original tablecloth restaurant. The dining room preserves an old-school, traditional atmosphere that makes it a long-standing gathering spot for members of Congress, staff, and visitors, whether convening for a working lunch or lingering over filet mignon. For group dining, the venue also provides dedicated settings across The Federal Room, The Wine Room, and a semi-private Atrium Room.
