Best Restaurants with a Tasting Menu in Bloomingdale / Brookland

I know some folks have a stigma about Hotel restaurants. I don't. When I knew Marcus Samuelsson was opening a restaurant here, I didn't care where it's at, I am there. Marcus DC is located at the very chic Morrow Hotel. Upon arrival we were greeted by the hostess who was very welcoming. I dined on a Tuesday at 8pm. It wasn't packed but it wasn't empty. Brenden, our server, 5 stars. Very personable and down to earth. He was able to answer all my questions about the selections to ensure I chose what I wanted. We ordered the Blue cornbread and the Black Sea Bass. The Yassa butter was the star for me. Delicious. The Black Sea Bass- the swiss shard, mint, crab curry, lime, fresh garlic= party in your mouth. The fish was just a touch salty for me, however paired with all the other ingredients I was able to balance the saltiness out. The sweet potatoes were out of this world. I had some leftover Yassa butter that I put on the perfectly crispy yet soft sweet potatoes. It was so good. All those flavors together. I was dancing in my seat. I am super excited about the rooftop bar and the speakeasy coming. You can start and end your day at Morrow hotel thanks to Chef Rachel, Chef Rachel, and the team.

Incredible food and great ambience, though a little loud.0

Very pleasant experience at SHIA. The 5-course tasting menu is very satisfying. Even with familiar tasting profiles, each dishes is unique and doesn’t resemble anything I had before (especially the main course). Staff are all very helpful and patient with questions. The menu is changing seasonally so I’m excited to come back and experience new menu next time!

The craft cocktails enhance the already incredible dining experience. The team make it all appear seemless. We visit annually and will be back.

What a wonderful place for that special occasion. The atmosphere, the service, the delicious and beautiful presentation of the food is exceptional.
