"Ring in the New Year as if you escaped to Paris, but in Capitol Hill. The 5-course menu ($120 per person) includes pork country pate with cornichons, dijon, onion jam, and crostini; seared scallops with asparagus fondue and saffron tuile; pan-seared duck breast with herb potato cake and white asparagus; for dessert, champagne poached pear with white chocolate, vanilla crispy tuile, and Italian meringue. There’s also a 3-course take-out option for $90 per person." - Vinciane Ngomsi
