A groundbreaking partnership between José Andrés' ThinkFoodGroup and The Foundation for the National Archives, America Eats Tavern features award winning Chef Andrés’ unique take on traditional American classics. Celebrating native ingredients and some long forgotten regional dishes, AET takes you through America's history one plate at a time. America Eats features a refined and elegant menu upstairs on the second and third floors and a similar but slightly more casual menu on the first floor. Open Table Reservations are for the upstairs dining rooms, while reservations for the first floor tavern can be made by contacting the restaurant directly at 202-393-0812. All menus are available for viewing at the America Eats website. This temporary "pop-up" restaurant opened as an extension of the Archives exhibit “What’s Cooking Uncle Sam" and was originally scheduled to close when the exhibit closed in January 2012, but due to the fantastic response has been extended through July 4th 2012.
