"After nearly a decade, this Michelin-starred Adams Morgan favorite is closing on Saturday, December 20, with owners chef Jon Sybert and Jill Tyler choosing not to cut PTO, health insurance, or core values just to stay profitable after deciding the restaurant wasn’t financially sustainable under their model. Debuted in 2016 and awarded a star when the D.C. Michelin Guide launched in 2017, it has maintained that status, and the team took a final bow at last month’s Northeast Michelin Guide ceremony in Philly. Longtime regulars have been returning for one last dinner, and swan-song seats are available for a $135-per-person prix fixe or a la carte menu; a la carte returned a year ago to test the waters for what’s next, and the group is proud of the food they’ve put out this past year." - Tierney Plumb
