6 days ago

Chef Yuan Tang and Managing Director Carey Russell Tang, the duo behind @roosterandowl, have a hatchling in @elliebirdva. The couple’s second and youngest daughter is the namesake behind the new restaurant recently opened in Falls Church, Virginia. Much like I imagine the real Ellie to be, this place is sweet and earnest and charming all at once. My first visit weeks ago delighted as much as two subsequent follow-ups. As befitting the name, the bright dining room incorporates whimsical avian elements like canary-yellow booths that resemble oversized birdcages and owl motifs sporting multi-colored light bulbs for eyes 🦉

Despite the unapologetic cuteness, Ellie Bird is not a kid’s playground. Adults would feel comfortable here whether coming for a casual weekday meal or a dressed-up celebratory dinner on the weekend. À la carte offerings and dialed down prices reflect the restaurant’s more casual style and atmosphere from her refined sister in Columbia Heights. But don’t mistake lower prices for less quality. If you have dined at Rooster and Owl, you’ll definitely recognize some of the same specific touches of the contemporary, chef-focused cooking that nabbed that restaurant a Michelin star. Keep your other senses keen, and you’ll also notice the attentive service is reminiscent of many fine-dining establishments in Washington, DC 🍽️

One might wonder why Yuan and Carey would choose to plant a second restaurant a distance away from their first. The location is no accident. Both grew up in Falls Church and got their hospitality start in chain restaurants here. With their parents living nearby, they’ve found their way back home where their nascent culinary offspring can roost and blossom with and into the surrounding community 🏡

Many devoted parents can attest to the joy of watching a beloved child develop and mature as Ellie Bird is expected to do in the months and years to come. But they—and happy guests who have visited to date—likely would also say, “Please, please, please! Just don’t grow up too quickly.” 🐣

4) Spring Peas – mixed grain porridge, chicken of the woods, basil 🫛🌾🍄

Porridge of Carolina Gold Rice, millet, and sorghum cooked in a mushroom stock. Topped with Sugar Snap and English peas from @karma.farm and @farmfireside. One of my favorite courses of the Vernal tasting menu 😍😘🥰

The plant-based wunderkind named @oysteroysterdc is more than just a very popular local restaurant in the Shaw neighborhood. It's also one of DC's best-value tasting menus at its current price point. By now, I know what's coming each time I dine here. Still, I am perpetually delighted by returning favorites—the craveable bread and marigold “butter”, for instance—even as I discover new surprises in the seasonal offerings. It might be their vegetarian rendition of "XO" sauce, as concentrated and as addictive as the original, early sweet peas promising the arrival of summer produce, or a savory porridge that could double as a hearty breakfast. If only I could have willed myself to save a portion when eating the final Spring menu, but my discipline collapsed after the first delicious spoonful 🤤

I always leave Oyster Oyster perhaps happier than I arrive, feeling not only satiated and refreshed but equally renewed by what vegetable-forward cooking can achieve. This is a restaurant that knows its identity and lives according to its virtues of locality, sustainability, and seasonality. They exercise their values in how they procure and prepare their food. Along the way, they've made converts as comfortable as long-term devotees of plant-focused cuisine. That is more than just progress. It’s measurable success. To me, this restaurant has become one of the most important dining establishments in the US 👏

The perfect way to run any restaurant likely does not exist. But Oyster Oyster demonstrates there can be at least one right way. It's a journey based on clear intentions, practiced beliefs, environmentally respectful processes, and policies that uphold the dignity of all who come through its doors—for plants, for fungi, and for staff and guests alike ❤️
