"The St. Regis hotel in downtown D.C. has officially replaced its Spanish-themed house restaurant, Decanter, with Mediterranean-focused newcomer, Alhambra. Executive chef Sébastien Giannini is serving entrees such as grilled scallops with raw cauliflower, roast chicken with herb butter, and tomahawk steak with potatoes. Small plates include tuna tartare with date puree, harissa paste, preserved lemon, marcona almond, and quail’s egg yolk. Sunday brunch offerings include lobster with poached eggs, and orange duck over polenta. The Rockwell Group renovated the St. Regis restaurant back in 2013, leaving its historic ceiling in place and adding multiple dining alcoves with glass spheres suspended from above." - Tierney Plumb
