So Jônt had a final surprise for us. They know I normally stop by @benseverything for a post-dinner snack (😄) before going home. Because we had the late seating and Ben’s Chili Bowl would be closed by the time we were done, they brought spicy chili half-smokes to the restaurant for us to enjoy! 🤤🙏😋
Much thanks to Hospitality Director @nitiya_noisette for this sweet gesture. You are the best! 👏🙏

I came back for the Fall menu. This was my third tasting here and the longest one to date. The delicious food somehow gets better each time. This is DC's best tasting menu and fine-dining restaurant overall.

A European-style lunch held only on Sundays. It's a short tasting menu with elegant touches. This new restaurant sits upstairs from Bresca and is also run by Chef Ryan Ratino.
