Great restaurant with a beautiful view on to the river! The food was delicious, the crab cakes were amazing! The inside area of the restaurant looks like you can have bigger parties over there and rent certain rooms. The outside patio was very comfortable and again offered a very nice view on to the river. On top of that they have a convenient parking lot right in front of the restaurant for free. More...

The food is fantastic and the decor fits right in at Mount Vernon. Their brunches are also excellent and you can go for a stroll by the river after your meal.

Went for dinner with my wife and in-laws. The service was great and the food was amazing! It's a historic site, and there are multiple rooms, each with their own ambiance. Almost all tables have a view right out over the river. More...

I think this curious old landmark on the landward side of the GW Parkway has been here forever. I've seen it through numerous incarnations over the years as I drove by or ran by it on the bicycle path. There have been some times since the 1980s when it seemed to go to seed, but happily Chef Andrew seems to have brought new life to the old place, a virtual renaissance! The menu is diverse and the wine list well conceived, and the staff is welcoming, friendly and helpful, They host occasional happy hours with live music and dancing, or movies that, weather permitting, are shown outdoors on the front lawn. The view of the Potomac is of course incomparable, with Fort Washington visible across the river. More...

We had brunch at Cedar Knoll and was immediately impressed by the charm and service. The staff was warm and welcoming and that, paired with the cozy interior, was the perfect cure for a cold wet winter morning. The food was excellent and filling. I had the Virginia Benedict and finished of with the Blood Orange Meringue Tart. I very much look forward to visiting again soon. More...

We recently hosted an 80th birthday party for 10 women at Cedar Knoll. Everything was superb! Chef Andrew worked with me to create a chef's tasting menu and even added a wine pairing for each course. Sophie, our server was incredible! The food was amazing and they even printed special menus with the birthday girl's name. The view was spectacular and I cannot thank Cedar Knoll enough for giving us such a beautiful experience! More...

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Awesome views of the river, however the deserts were not the best, they could be a little more refined, especially since the entire menu is amazing. Other then that I highly recommend this place, make sure you make a reservation, we got lucky that they had an opening when we went there. More...

I want to thank Cedar Knoll for the absolutely exquisite dining experience they provided for us to celebrate our son and daughter-in-law's wedding. The groom’s dinner was everything we could have hoped for and more; the room was warm and inviting, the champagne was very good, and the food and whiskey/wine pairings were excellent! The group all had a wonderful evening; we heard several times over the following days how much everyone enjoyed themselves. I am so happy I found you and appreciate your help in working to make this such a memorable evening! I look forward to dining with you again in the future and highly recommend your establishment to those looking for something far above the typical dining experience! More...
