"At Minibar in Penn Quarter, you’re treated like some monarch who couldn't possibly push in their own leather chair. The tasting menu won't be cheap, but the polished service and inventive food warrant the $325 price tag. You'll sit at a communal kitchen table with 11 other people and watch the chefs plate elaborate little waffles with ribeye. They might even hand-feed you a sesame tart wafting with liquid nitrogen." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed, mekita rivas, allison robicelli
