Charlie Palmer Steak and Other D.C. Restaurant Closures to Know - Eater DC
"Charlie Palmer Steak, the timeless power spot located across from the U.S. Capitol since 2002, will serve its last piece of meat on Friday, November 29. After lengthy discussions, the team says it was unable to reach an agreement on the terms of a new lease. Celebrity chef Charlie Palmer’s namesake staple in the nation’s capital was known for its lavish seafood towers, a 30-day prime dry-aged porterhouse for two, and twice-baked potatoes stuffed with bacon and truffles. A steady stream of top chefs manned its kitchen over the years, and Dan Perron most recently left this fall to open Divino in Glover Park. “It has been an honor to be a part of this city’s culinary evolution,” per a statement from Palmer, who says he plans to focus on existing bi-coastal properties in New York, Napa, and Reno. The group also has upcoming restaurant openings under its Appellation Hotels brand." - Tierney Plumb
