We came here with a fairly large group last night, most of our first time, and it was great. The drinks are really well made, menu had something for everyone, the space is beautiful, and the owners (who were nice enough to give us a rooftop tour) could not have been kinder and more excited about their restaurant. Service was great too. Go!

My husband and I love coming here whether it’s a quick drink and appetizers or going out to dinner. When we were planning our wedding this was one of the first places we thought of and we are so glad we chose it. Everyone said it was one of the most fun weddings they had been to and the drinks and food were amazing! We were beyond happy with everything! They made planning super easy and accommodated all of our requests! The photos I added don’t do the ambiance justice! The lighting was beautiful!

We stopped in for morning coffee and were treated to a wonderful surprise! Bailey was a great barista and hostess. The atmosphere and architecture are worth soaking up along with a great coffee.

The service was wonderful. They were just attentive enough without being pushy but never left us unattended. My salmon was incredible! The tuna tartare was also very fresh and well seasoned. More tuna and a bit less rice would be perfect but it tasted incredible. An oddity was that we ordered the tuna tartare apps and got our main entree without the apps first. I mentioned that we didn’t get them and came right away so I’m not sure if they forgot to bring it first, but honestly they were both so tasty and he was so cool about it, it’s not a big deal. But it was odd to have it all at once. The one downside was the size of the spirits pour. My husband ordered an Old Elk on the rocks and it was $20 for 1.5 Oz pour. Considering a glass of Tempranillo was only $9 and my very full (and delicious) cocktail was $13, that’s truly not justifiable. I live in CO which is where Old Elk is made, and it’s very good but not $20 for a small pour good. Overall I highly recommend and is a wonderful place to grab delicious food. :)

The food is steady going downhill, I was forced to eat there recently due to a birthday party and nothing else being open that late down town....but this place is circling the drain. Worst brunch/lunch of my life.

Me and my husband stopped by for a quick coffee and the barista, Mickey, was so helpful and kind, she gave us suggestions and answered all of our questions! The coffee was absolutely delicious.

We stopped by early afternoon for drinks while on a few days off. The staff made us feel right at home - enough that we came back that evening for dinner! I highly recommend the Orecchiette 'Little Ear' pasta topped with filet mignon. It was an outstanding dish! When we were leaving we talked to Mohamed, one of the owners. He seemed very gracious and appreciative of his customers! We will be back!

Oh my, so happy we made this stop for dinner. It was absolutely amazing! We sat on the patio, which had very nice lighting. Started with the Miss Mulberry. Such a beautiful drink, with a pink lemonade taste. We went with the Shrimp and Crab dip for appetizers. Both were superb. Crab dip was full of crab meat and served with delicious, soft, warm pita chips. For the main course I couldn’t choose between the Seafood Gumbo or Clam Chowder, so I went with both. The garlic bread served with it could have been a meal by itself, it was so good. The Gumbo won my vote over the chowder, but both were delicious. Our waitress Kylie (hope I got name right) was excellent! She kept the water full and the drinks coming. Answered all our questions on the menu. And made sure we had everything we needed. Even offering to bring our dog water. (Dogs are welcome on the patio.) Also loved the manager coming around talking to guest. Even saw him helping to clear tables. Speaks volumes on how they work together. Next time I will have to try the desert, they all looked very yummy!!

Went out to eat for lunch to do some work on my computer and enjoy the weather. Let me just tell you I was amazed by the decor and overall ambiance of this place. The meal was amazing. I was able to eat at my own pace and tried a variety of dishes. I started out with the Mulberry salad which was perfectly balanced then I went on for the grouper sandwich my server Mickis recommended and she was not lying it was just as good as she said it’d be. I even got the carrot cake for dessert even though I was stuffed but she made it sound irresistible and told it was her favorite so I had to try it if it was anything like the grouper sandwich. I even bought my server a dessert the coffee creme brulee to further thank her for her service. My water glass was never empty. I felt just as wanted as the other larger tables which I have trouble with in some restaurants as a single diner. If you have the time you definitely have to try out this place and ask for Micki. She’ll make you feel right at home.

So delicious! We loved everything we had and the atmosphere is definitely “special occasion” or at least a fun night out!

Abby was my server here. Let me tell ya, I’ve been to thousands of high end establishments and seldom, if ever, will you find the professionalism and personality that Abby brought to the table. Looking forward to coming back just to see her. Surf and turf is worth the money. Woulda paid at least $9 more honestly. Roof top is very Instagram-worthy! Take a new profile picture up there!

Service and atmosphere were wonderful. Little Washington has come a long way from just a few years ago. The have indoor seating, a casual back patio and roof top dining options as well as a take out counter.

Update: Stopped off for lunch… no specials. Downgraded them from 4 to 3 stars as the food quality continues downhill. I can see the kitchen staff from my table and they’re just amateurs slinging food onto a plate while they they socialize. No wonder the food quality is erratic. Young & Dumb!!! The waitstaff & bar staff here are either older & professional or young & dumb!!! I had the Shrimp & Grits… meal was slightly warm, which really took away from the experience. The dish was different, being a step away from the more traditional tomato chunk base. Not bad, but will not revisit this dish. Previously I had Lamb with Risotto… incredible!!! Pepper… the chef is an absolute genius with pepper. Subtle in the beginning then growing as the meal progresses, but never too much!!! Good carrot cake… worth a visit. Nice atmosphere!!!

Another great visit to The Mulberry House, brunch was hot and delicious with plenty of choices for our party of four. Service was prompt but not intrusive and the front of house guys took good care of us while the kitchen supplied some well presented and tasty dishes. I think Michelle was the name of the manager and she dropped by to ensure we were all happy. This place really is a gem in the new and revitalizing downtown area of Little Washington. We will be back especially, when the roof top is in use!

Great food and incredible cocktails. Their menu changes frequently and is always creative. Also a great coffee/pastry spot in the morning.

We’ve been here a couple of times, and your experience seems to depend on your server. The food seems to be fairly consistent, but the server is really the difference. Our most recent experience was not nearly as good as our first. Our server would disappear for extended periods, and we actually had to wait 15 minutes just to place our drink orders. When she finally returned to our table, she made facial expressions, voiced comments, etc. which really detracts from your experience. That’s to be expected from a fast food restaurant, but not when you’re paying this kind of money for quality food and service. Lastly, when we were presented with our bill, she waited at our table after giving us a tablet with which to use to pay. No real time to view our bill, so very rushed. Also the tablet had recommended gratuity amounts that started at 20% with no way to customize your gratuity for lesser service. I have no problem providing a generous gratuity, but not when our server provides poor service.
