Old Anglers Inn

Anonymous
We're planning to have dinner with former neighbors who will be coming back to town over the holidays. They're a bit older and have fond memories of Old Anglers Inn. I haven't been there in years, but I recall it as having a lovely setting on the river, offering "continental cuisine" that was fine if not memorable, rather formal service and with a kind of retro charm in a 1970s preppy way. Given the occasion, that's fine, but since it's been a while, I'm a bit hesitant to make a reservation. If you've eaten there recently, I'd love to hear about your experience.

Yep. Just how you said it. Bit stuff but cozy and sweet with fine food.

Opie you sound quite full of yourself. Let your guests enjoy Old Anglers Inn by themselves, and you head on downtown.

Thanks to PPs who posted to confirm my recollection, which, as I stated was that it was just fine for this occasion. As far as the last poster, perhaps you missed the nuance that I wanted to be sure the restaurant had not changed significantly for the worse since I haven't been there in many years. But I do love being tagged as Opie -- so sweet!

I think it is better than what you say. For a suburban restaurant the food is pretty good.

The place is more formal than the food is good. I wish it was more pub-like with better food.

I love the formality in a comfortable homey environment. Very romantic.

The Irish inn at Glen Echo is better in my opinion.

It's got great ambiance, and mediocre, overpriced food.

I work in Bethesda and we're planning a retirement lunch for a colleague at the OAI. Twenty-five dollars for a cheeseburger! I'm probably going to suggest another place (like the Irish Inn) to the organizer.

The outside patio is lovely and not at all stuffy. The inside is as you describe. I like both areas!
