Best Restaurant Dishes Eater DC Editors Ate This Week, September 24, 2025 | Eater DC

"I just checked out this nearly year-old replacement for Shaw’s La Jambe, and the wine list and cocktails are stellar—props to the choice of reposado tequila over vodka in a frothy espresso martini spiked with Spanish liqueurs. My friend raved over her milky-green Gullywarsher, a playful mix of popcorn-infused gin, coconut, and pandan. An adorable cheese-and-"quackers" section is basically an adult’s Lunchables, presented in a cute takeout tray with compartments for lamb salami, prosciutto di Parma, and Comté, and the "pickle buckets" app carves out cucumber slices to stuff with habanero feta. Overseeing the candle-lit bar is a bronze moose dressed up in fall foliage, proof this place doesn’t take itself too seriously in all the right ways." - Eater Staff
