restaurant
217 Cameron St
A chef-driven spot where you book a table like you're claiming a seat at someone's dinner party; European and American cooking that tastes like the cook actually cares what lands on your plate.
restaurant
6400 Oxon Hill Rd
Locals and hotel guests settle into leather banquettes here for competent American cooking and the kind of drinks that taste like someone actually cared about proportions. It's the rare hotel restaurant that feels like a destination rather than a fallback.
italian restaurant
3715 Macomb St NW
Wood-fired Neapolitan pies with actual certification, plus proper Italian wines and cured meats—go if you want pizza that tastes like someone's actually been to Naples, not a version of it.
tapas bar
1622 14th St NW
A cramped, loud room where strangers become dinner companions over small plates and glasses of wine that actually taste like something. Good for people who want to eat without ceremony and leave without planning a three-course meal.
