"The St. Gregory Hotel houses an elegant European bistro honoring D.C. music legend Duke Ellington, whose namesake park sits across the street. The 90-seat dining room serves French onion soup, oven-roasted escargot swimming in absinthe butter, beef tartare mixed with caper berries and piccalilli, charcuterie and cheese boards, and oil-cured tuna Niçoise salad." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
