D.C.’s 38 Best Restaurants | Eater DC

"Restaurateur Jerry Hollinger (the Daily Dish and the Dish & Dram) delivered to downtown Silver Spring an Art Deco-styled American chophouse and raw bar celebrating local farmers, watermen, and purveyors. Shrimp and pork belly toast adorned with homemade kimchi are good ways to start; follow those with Rohan duck confit, homemade spinach ricotta ravioli, halibut filet atop summer succotash, or anything from the luxe lineup of steaks. Augment dishes with underwater add-ons like butter-poached crab, lobster, jumbo shrimp, and fried oysters. A whale of a deal is in store during happy hour (4 p.m. to close and all night on Tuesdays), when oysters are just $1, and a robust bar program stars New York Sours and fig-sage rye cocktails. Vibe check: The throwback space near the Fillmore takes tips from Sinatra’s era." - Tierney Plumb
