"A high-end cocktail and dessert garden opened this spring at the foot of fancy Wharf condo building Amaris. Zooz comes from the family behind Urban Roast DC, Penn Quarter’s popular cafe and sangria bar (which plans to add a location next to Zooz later this year). For their showy sophomore project, a 4,000-square-foot shell space was transformed into a polished lounge that takes extravagant design tips from Vanderpump Cocktail Garden in Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Elaborate cocktails, presented tableside on roaming bar carts, can come with a single-serving dessert pairing like tiramisu or creme brulee." - Tierney Plumb, Vinciane Ngomsi
