D.C.’s 38 Best Restaurants | Eater DC
"As a surge of Greek restaurants continue to open in D.C., Cava group’s contemporary ode to the idyllic Mediterranean country continues to impress Pike & Rose diners four years in. Aris Tsekouras helms its open kitchen after years cooking in upscale eateries in Greece, bringing a passion for homemade breads and tangy cheeses. A year-round bounty of fresh vegetables are celebrated on the table, as is slow-roasted lamb neck kleftiko, cheese pie, grilled octopus, beef tartare, stone crab bucatini, and portobello mushroom souvlaki. The team expanded in the complex this spring with the opening of dimly lit Mediterranean steakhouse Bouboulina. Vibe check: A stucco interior framed with wooden beams feels like a Grecian getaway." - Tierney Plumb
