"Georgetown’s only Michelin-starred tasting room, forced to go dark in August 2022 after suffering extensive fire damage, made its long-awaited return to D.C.’s dining scene in 2024. At chef Johnny Spero’s completely rebuilt Reverie, modernist meals continue to draw culinary influences from Nordic countries, Japan, and his native Maryland. Reverie 2.0’s revised look takes a dramatic turn, swapping slick subway tiles for a striking new aesthetic full of pitch-black finishes. Spero’s resurrected flagship has been hidden in a cobblestone alleyway since 2018. Come July 1, a 14- to 16-course vegetarian tasting menu takes over for two months; make reservations here. Look for debut dishes like tempura maitake and a savory mushroom fudge made with its doenjang." - Tierney Plumb
