"A posh European flagship from chef Robert Wiedmaier that opened in 1999 and catered to Foggy Bottom and Kennedy Center patrons with caviar service, a vast Champagne selection, and multi-course tasting menus (starting at $130), it celebrated 25 years but will close after failing to reach lease terms with the new building owner; recent spring highlights included pan-seared halibut with snap peas and white asparagus–flanked risotto, and its last day offered an a la carte or $100-per-person Mother’s Day brunch." - Tierney Plumb
