Taking inspiration from the landmark Alhambra Palace and Fortress in southern Spain, one of the most famous monuments of Islamic and Spanish Renaissance architecture, our new menu exemplifies the blending of cultures and cuisines across the region.

Showcasing their rich bounty of produce and fish in a modern and convivial setting, Chef Ivan Zivkovic presents a seasonally inspired menu enhanced with the bold flavors across a variety of the region’s cultures. With distinct menus offered across brunch, lunch and dinner, the dining concept focuses on four sections of small plated dishes – sea, land, garden and table – all meant to be shared.

Alhambra is located on the lobby-level of The St. Regis Washington, D.C. at 923 Black Lives Matter Plaza NW in the heart of downtown D.C. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast and lunch, as well as dinner from Tuesday through Saturday and brunch on weekends.

My sister and I took her husband to Alhambra DC for his 45th birthday and we had the most amazing experience. Sofiane was our server and he was so warm and welcoming and accommodating. He had such an amazing presence and we, thoroughly, enjoyed every interaction with him. Chef Ivan came to our booth and welcomed us and asked us how we were doing and took a picture with me. We will, definitely, visit Alhambra DC and if you go, please ask for Sofiane. He is the BEST!!

The creativity and the combination of ingredients and flavors far outweighed my expectations! Tahini Cauliflower and Skull Island Shrimp are the biggest highlights of the night and something not to be missed! Wine list is top notch with a great selection of cocktails!

We visited for Easter brunch and were extremely disappointed. The food was lackluster at best with over steamed oysters, pre-made crepes that were barely heated before being served, cold prime rib from the carving station, and many of the serving areas being messy and splattered. We also ordered a bloody mary that was extremely watered down, and we had to send it back and ask for another beverage. We were looking forward to a good experience but unfortunately will not be going back to the St. Regis.

The short rib is a piece of art (a rare piece of art at $70.00). The huge gawdy restaurant in a St Regis hotel had only two tables booked at 7:30pm, but I'd still go back for the spare rib and the attentive service.

I ordered Shrimp and Grits. The shrimps were good , but the grits were not well cooked. The eggplant pieces were hard, as well as the chorizo pieces. The Eggs Benedict my husband ordered were regular. But the potatoes were not. We expect a much better food in a place like that. Only the gingerbread pancakes and the coffee were good. We felt very disappointed.

Service was extremely slow even with very few other customers. It took 15-20 min to get a glass of wine. Never saw wine list because “another table was looking at”. We were told wine we had just drank in bar wasn’t available in restaurant and of course was more expensive. Water was $14/bottle (again not told price). Since just getting drinks took so long, we only ordered 2 overpriced mediocre salads. Do not go to restaurant. Go to the bar which has wonderful service and great ambience.

We had a nice booth, it wasnt too busy or noisy. The appetizers we had were good but the batata hara was better than the octopus in terms of flavor explosion but both wete enjoyable. The swordfish and lamb confit were equally delicious. The basque cheesecake was very good. Cocktails and alcohol were ridiculously priced and they charge you a grip for the voss water at your table. Id ask for tap and save a few bucks, though this is a place you come to splurge i guess, but still. Im not trying to splurge on water.

I had a poor experience with Open Table as I was charged twice for the same reservation. I am trying to sort it out with American Express but with little success. The restaurant itself was fine and the lamb we ordered very good, but how do I get Open Table to remove the extra $ 287.50 (on top of the $ 250.00 plus) that we paid for the meal? The manager at Alhambra tried to straighten it out, but I will never make a reservation on Open Table again, as my AmEx account is frozen because of this debacle. I am unable to access my account to see my current balance.
