Your Perfect Kennedy Center Evening Starts at Founding Farmers Fishers & Bakers
There’s something magical about a night at the Kennedy Center. The anticipation of a world-class performance, the grandeur of the building itself, and the energy of the crowd all combine to create an unforgettable evening. But why limit the magic to just the show? We believe your Kennedy Center experience should be a complete journey of the senses – and it starts on the Georgetown Waterfront at Founding Farmers Fishers & Bakers.
Just a scenic 10-minute stroll from the Kennedy Center, our waterfront location offers the perfect prelude or finale to your evening of entertainment. Whether you’re heading to revel in the beauty of our National Symphony Orchestra, enjoying your season tickets to the Opera House Theater, or getting ready to take in what’s new at the Kennedy Center this theater season, we’re here to ensure your dining experience matches the caliber of your chosen performance.
Picture yourself on our year-round outdoor patio, watching the sun set over the Potomac River as you sip one of our signature tiki cocktails. Peruse our diverse menu, carefully crafted to please any palate, with everything from artisanal pizzas to fresh, innovative sushi rolls, burgers, sandwiches, and more. Our scratch-made offerings reflect the cosmopolitan spirit of DC itself.
Start with our Strawberry Ginger Margarita or one of our Scorpion Bowls for the table while sampling our Spicy Tuna Roll or our Prosciutto Honey Fig Pizza. Our staff understands the rhythm of show nights and will ensure your experience flows seamlessly from the first bite to the final curtain.
Attending a matinee? Join us afterward for a leisurely dinner as the lights begin to twinkle on the river. There’s nothing quite like discussing the show’s highlights over our flavor-packed tacos or sharing the excitement of a standing ovation while enjoying our Mango Coconut Shrimp Ceviche. The conversation flows as easily as our craft cocktails, and the evening stretches out before you like the river itself. 
Our space adapts to your mood – celebratory and lively for post-show celebrations, or intimate and relaxed for pre-show dining. Georgetown’s historic charm creates an atmosphere that complements any theatrical experience.
Get your tickets, make your reservation today, and discover why we’re becoming Georgetown’s favorite pre- and post-theater destination. After all, every great performance deserves an equally impressive dining experience.
