Occidental Grill & Seafood

Terrible. they have booked a restaurant that we have closed they took a credit card deposit in a restaurant that is closed. open table

From frustration I leave a 1 star rating. I'm sorry they closed and the phone number is out of operation. they need to take open table offline and stop accepting reservations. the fact that they need a credit card to keep the reservation is absurd. I could not cancel the reservation and open table customer service was no help. I wish I had noticed that they were closed before I made the insurmountable reservation. I hope they come back because they are a DC institution.

This place is closed, they need to update this website. I showed up for my reservation and it was closed for kovid.

I made my reservation and it asked for my credit card which I gave. Arrived on time to find out that the Occidental had been temporarily closed for a long time (pandemic? . So I looked like an idiot showing up with the guest I was hosting. Thanks Open Table. Thanks Occidental. And still they asked me how my experience was? Well my guest was not pleased. I was embarrassed. We were both left standing outside in the cold in downtown DC. Whose fault is this?

I love the history, what a place. But, at least the night we were there, Saturday, March 14, early virus hysteria, the food was forgettable. Very sad. I've had excellent food there in the past. But on 03/14 my family and I had an entirely mediocre, if expensive, dinner.
