The D.C.-Area Restaurant Openings in October | Eater DC

"Billed as “a luxe ode to island ingredients and flavors,” this elegantly designed restaurant from executive chef Lonie Murdock and partner Darren Hinds opens alongside sibling cocktail lounge Goodlove. Murdock’s Caribbean-Canadian background shines in plates like a bone-in pork chop with smoked cumin, green-mango kuchela jus, grilled green mango, and crab butter, while the bar pours an espresso martini–meets–peanut punch and a clarified milk punch rum and Coke." - Emily Venezky
