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.

Sushi Rock is a combination of love, passion and perspective. It is the love to eat good food and drink well while doing so with great people. In providing the place for people to do this, Sushi Rock represents the perspective that both can be done in a fun and entertaining environment full of energy. Sushi Rock embodies the opportunity to be the local watering hole, the destination, the cozy meet-up place, the big group place or the special event place. Whatever the patrons needs, we believe Sushi Rock is the one place where everyone can feel comfortable in any size group sharing themselves, sharing a drink, and/or sharing good food.

Price: Expensive
• American • Downtown
Booked 3 times today
WE ARE THE SPOTTED ZEBRAMany ask about our name, well it is whimsical, and one might say esoteric, and derives from a misquote by a prominent former US Senator from Tennessee, who confidently proclaimed, "A zebra does not change its spots". In this new DC hot-SPOT, we shine a tongue-in-cheek SPOT-light on the contradictory, and often irreverent and humorous words from politics. They are weaved into the names of dishes and cocktails and found on the top of tables, the bar, and people's minds.

    We were in town from Los Angeles . Kitchen & Kocktails came highly recommended by friends. Well, we had to see for ourselves. The food was spectacular. Everything we ate exploded with flavor in our mouths . The Cajun shrimp deviled eggs were a nice starter had to order a second one. I have had plenty of fried chicken in my life but this was the best chicken I ever tasted. I don’t know what kind of seasonsing was one it but once you have had it you will never forget out. I opted for the Jerk Lamb as my entree. To my delight delicious. Excellent attentive service by Myra. We need a Kitchen & Kocktails in Los Angeles . Will most definitely recommend to anyone coming to the DC area.

    The food was so good, but it was definitely too expensive. I understand it’s high quality small plates, but it was too expensive for the amount. We ended up going somewhere for more food afterwards because we couldn’t justify getting more and more plates at that cost.
