Best Dishes D.C. Editors Ate This Week: July 8 | Eater DC

"Drawn by carefully sourced oysters, the reviewer was sold on the charcoal-grilled calamari after server Ebon recommended it; the calamari has a wonderful smoky flavor and is served in a marinade of aleppo oil and toasted fennel seeds, an "amazing flavor punch" that even converted a calamari-hating dining partner. The reviewer advises adding the pan rustico to dredge up the last bits of that sauce. The bread plate comes with sourdough, focaccia, and whipped butter drenched in anchovy olive oil — a perfect salty pairing for starters — and for brunch there's a District Bloody Mary topped with a giant grilled tiger prawn. — Emily Venezky, editorial associate" - Eater Staff
