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

"A fanciful wine destination in an Adams Morgan brownstone centers a cozy green marble bar and cocktails that riff on wine and wine-based ingredients, backed by a deep bench of cognacs, Armagnacs, calvados, absinthe, and other French spirits. The cellar runs into the thousands with a mostly French focus and 30-plus by the glass, while chef Matt Conroy plates taramosalata-filled choux buns, pastoral terrines, creamy-savory smoked eel croquettes, and larger fare like brioche-stuffed chicken with mushrooms. Only the intimate first floor is open for now (no-reservation bar area, cozy back room, 12-seat bar), with the second floor slated for main dining (and possible weekend DJs) and a third-floor private space to follow." - Tierney Plumb
