"Parisian gnocchi and grilled octopus are among the seasonally rotating, “neo-bistro” dishes available at this hip reboot of Georgetown classic Cafe Bonaparte. Go a la carte or opt for chef Matt Conroy’s tasting menu ($125 per person, with wine pairings for $70 more), which includes a view of the kitchen. Highlights include sourdough focaccia, poached cod with ramp persillade, and steak tartare with egg yolk jam. Its famed desserts program, which got a boost from newly named pastry chef Ana Sofía Pino, features seasonal rhubarb mousse and mango cake." - Tierney Plumb
