The D.C.-Area Restaurant Openings You Should Know About This November | Eater DC

"A music-loving cocktail lounge in Midtown Center from Darren Hinds and executive chef Lonie Murdock (the duo behind Caribbean-chic Isla next door) pairs classic cocktails with inventive remixes—like a dirty martini sharpened with sake, tomato brine, and a spice tincture—and small “Love Bites” sourced from Isla, including plantain chips with a chile-lime sauce and wagyu oxtail patties with fermented mango sauce. The stylish room flaunts jaguar-shaped table lamps, fringed decor, and wavy pink chandeliers; hours run 4 p.m. to late Wednesday to Saturday, with happy hour from 4–6 p.m." - Emily Venezky
