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.

Thank you so much to all the staff that took a great care of us from the employee at the front desk to our server. It was a birthday dinner and the table was set up with a birthday framed poster and a bouquet of flower. We definitely had a great time and great food. 10/10 I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to have a great dinner with great atmosphere.
