Washington Post: If you can bear the thought of dessert, splurge on the butter cake. Served warm on a pool of caramel sauce, the golden confection smells of butter and sugar. Read more.
Sarah: The butter cake is amazing and please add caramel sauce more!
Rita Lassiter: Best dessert is the butter cake. HANDS DOWN! The buttery, sweet, crunchy outer layer combined with the soft cake and butter pecan ice cream? Simply heaven...

Ingvild M. Plosiv: Most expensive hotel breakfast I've ever had. Breakfast with coffee and juice here added up to the same price as 2 course lunch and beverages at the great Old Ebbitt Grill. That's just insane.
