Resort hotel · Calistoga
"Located within the Four Seasons Resort in Napa Valley, this restaurant opened in October 2022 and quickly rose to prominence, ultimately earning one Michelin star in July 2023 under chef Rogelio Garcia and maintaining that status thereafter. During this period, it garnered much acclaim, with Garcia describing cooking there in the valley where he grew up as one of the greatest honors of his life. The restaurant periodically goes on winter breaks, with a recent closure starting Sunday, January 4, and a planned reopening on Thursday, February 12, highlighting a seasonal rhythm to its operations. Garcia’s tenure also saw him author his first cookbook, “Convivir: Modern Mexican Cuisine in California’s Wine Country,” which won a 2025 James Beard Media Award in the Professional and Restaurant category, further underscoring the restaurant’s reputation for serious, award-winning cuisine." - Dianne de Guzman
Californian restaurant · Palm Springs
"Known as a beloved Palestinian-inspired California cuisine restaurant, this spot is undergoing a major transformation from full table service to a counter-service format and rebranding itself as Lulu’s Little Kitchen. Starting Friday, February 6, the menu will shift to rice bowl’d versions of existing favorites like the toum Caesar salad, alongside roti wraps filled with braised lamb shawarma, sumac fried chicken, and falafel. On weekends, the offerings will expand to include popular dishes from the fuller Lulu menu, such as shukaquiles, knafeh pancake, and baklava French toast. The dining rooms are being converted into a private event space, and catering will continue, with chef Mona Leena Michael emphasizing that this evolution is meant to make the restaurant more affordable during difficult times, more accessible to those with dietary restrictions, and more reliable as an everyday option, all while honoring the dishes and values that originally drew people in." - Dianne de Guzman
Restaurant · Williamsburg
"This Williamsburg restaurant is part of Brent Young’s growing portfolio and serves as the predecessor to his new Greenpoint bar project. It’s described as one of his “weird offbeat corner” locations, suggesting a fondness for slightly unconventional, corner-spot neighborhood spaces that Cozy Royale helped establish before the concept was extended to the Peek Inn." - Melissa McCart
Restaurant · Hudson
"Located upstate and opened in June as a partnership between Brent Young and Mel the Bakery, this diner is one of Young’s six business ventures. It’s referenced as part of the same small empire that includes butcher shops and Cozy Royale, positioning Hudson Diner as another example of his tendency to create distinctive, collaborative food projects beyond the city." - Melissa McCart
Temporarily Closed
"Situated around the corner from the future Peek Inn, this upcoming spot from former Meat Hook partner Ben Turley, along with Jorge Aguilar and Amanda Rosa, is known ahead of opening for its flour tortillas and breakfast tacos served at pop-ups. The reputation for those tortillas and breakfast tacos is already central to its identity, shaping expectations for the brick-and-mortar location." - Melissa McCart
Restaurant · North Inglewood
"Set on the corner of La Brea and Centinela in Inglewood, this warmly lit restaurant brings a California lens to West African food in a refreshed, elegant space that now feels fully in harmony with its ambitious menu. I come for intensely flavorful dishes like sticky, vibrantly spiced honey berbere chicken bites, root beer–braised short ribs with whipped yams, and what I consider the city’s best jollof rice, a spicy tomato-based rice that’s delightfully smoky, packs formidable heat, and can be added to any dish or enjoyed as a main topped with herby lamb chops, branzino, or deeply soulful barbecue jerk cauliflower that carries a slight heat. The menu also includes lamb and white bean hummus, a generous serving of garlic noodles made with garlic butter and teriyaki that satisfy both vegans and omnivores, and Ghanaian hot black pepper sauce for those feeling adventurous. Brunch is a highlight, with shrimp and grits kicked up with jollof cream sauce and berbere chicken paired with brown sugar–infused waffles. A compelling cocktail program features drinks like the cooling Mezcalifornia, made with Espadin mezcal, cucumber juice, and grapefruit syrup, and the Sentinela Sour with whiskey, lime, soursop, and ginger. Inside, bright walls, West African art and pillows, imported light fixtures from Ghana, custom banquette seating, and shelves of eye-catching knick-knacks create an enveloping, stylish atmosphere that makes weekend brunch or dinner feel special. Given its popularity and proximity to SoFi Stadium, making a reservation is the best way to beat the pre-event crowds." - Mona Holmes
Pub · Vienna
"An inviting Vienna pub makes an excellent Welsh rarebit built around three generous slices of fluffy bread topped with a savory, Worcestershire-laced cheese mixture that’s broiled into a gooey delight for $11. The place drew me back for a second visit in two days (helped along by the fact that I left my purse at the bar), and the return trip also let me dive deeper into its gin passport, a fun gimmick that’s easy to get hooked on in a bar offering more than 20 different gin, tonic, and garnish combinations." - Missy Frederick
Bar & grill · Braddock Road Metro
"Old Town’s old-school bar is a King Street icon with a steady crowd of regulars who come for karaoke, pool, and late-night pub grub done right. Around 9 p.m. on a Sunday, I enjoyed excellent fried chicken tenders, one of the specialties the bartender swore by and insisted were best ordered fiery Buffalo-style for $12. Breaded in-house, the sizable tenders arrive with a zesty honey mustard sauce and an optional hefty portion of fries for $3 more that reminded me of Five Guys." - Missy Frederick
Restaurant · Striver's Section
"A new U Street bistro works wonderfully for a lingering Friday night catch-up with a friend, where you can split everything on the $45 prix fixe menu—an incredible deal once you break down the cost of each course—and share a carafe of wine, like an $18 half-liter that easily carried us through the entire dinner. Classic French renditions of skirt steak and mussels paired beautifully with bottomless fries that were anything but an afterthought, coming out ultra-crispy with a blistered exterior suggestive of a double-fry or starchy coating. The fries were so plentiful we couldn’t finish the first huge silver tray and I even took some home, where they reemerged from the air-fryer just as crunchy, and we still walked away having spent about $70 each on a decadent French meal, a relative steal in D.C. now." - Missy Frederick
Ethiopian restaurant · Near Northeast
"A long-standing staple on H Street’s Northeast strip, this Ethiopian restaurant has endured while others have come and gone, and it still shines whether you order delivery or dine in. A recent Uber Eats order of the vegetarian sampler for two, snagged with a big half-off promo from its typical $42 price, arrived as a takeout box full of colorful dollops spanning a range of flavors and textures. The generous sampler includes seven vegetable sides—spiced collard greens, red lentil stew, turmeric cabbage and potatoes, and chickpeas cooked in berbere—each neatly arranged atop a bed of spongy injera, with a surplus of the flatbread folded into thick triangles as a welcome surprise. Despite the careful packaging that makes delivery work well, an in-person visit to its elegant dining room, complete with gorgeous hand-painted plateware, remains the preferred way to experience the food." - Missy Frederick
