Keith McNally brings Minetta Tavern to Washington DCMINETTA TAVERN ORIGINALLY OPENED IN 1937Named after the Minetta Brook — which ran southwest from 23rd Street to the Hudson River — the Tavern was frequented by various layabouts and hangers-on including Ernest Hemingway, Ezra Pound, Eugene O'Neill, E. E. Cummings, Dylan Thomas, and Joe Gould, as well as by various writers, poets, and pugilists.Since its renovation, Minetta Tavern has best been described as "Parisian steakhouse meets classic New York City tavern."We hope — and believe — that's a somewhat accurate description of the place.

Limani is one the best most romantic restaurants in DC to be with your beloved, family, close friends. Choose upstairs seating overseeing the water and you'll be rewarded with an amazing view of Washington and Arlington landmarks. The food is amazing. Choose a whole branzino prepared traditionally in salt and the serving presentation that follows. Appetizers are of the best quality. They serve traditional Greek wines by the glass and other pairings befitting any occasion. My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Limani and it was beyond excellent. Overall satisfaction was guaranteed and we will be back.
