"I report that San Francisco-born wine bar Amelie opened its first location outside California and New York in Logan Circle, led by Paris-trained chef Anthony Lemortellec (formerly of Boqueria) focusing on French classics like tuna tartare, pan-roasted branzino, and seared hanger steak with an emphasis on local, in-season produce; the wine-forward bar showcases 75 wines by the glass, an apertif-heavy cocktail list, and a casual retro-styled dining room that seats up to 105, with hours 4–9:30 p.m. Tuesday–Thursday and Sunday, and until 10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday." - Emily Venezky
