"The bar at this downtown spot offers the best seat in the house: These coveted stools provide the perfect perch to dine on classics like medium-rare New York strip steak doused in chimichurri with a mound of mash potatoes, or a crisp wedge salad topped with blue cheese and a thicket of thinly sliced onion rings. Amaro’s also hosts a rotating menu of seasonal cocktails like the Washington Aloha with rum, amaro di angostura, and pineapple juice that’s described as island vibes meet the Evergreen State. Meals should end with creme brulee or fluffy ricotta doughnuts." - Rachel Pinsky
