"Hidden in the basement of the Hotel AKA Washington Circle in Foggy Bottom, a.kitchen+bar is a sultry, secluded spot that feels like an underground terrarium, with windows peeking onto New Hampshire Avenue and vines trailing along the glass. The Philly transplant’s menu focuses on seasonal American plates—think flank steak, oysters, and ribs—but the highlight is the chickpea panisse. The crispy, steak fry-esque rectangles have a perfectly creamy inside and are served with grilled pickles for a tangy kick. The true star of the menu, however, isn’t on the menu at all—it's the unlisted creamy vegan chocolate sorbet, topped with pralines and toasted sesame. It's impossibly rich and decadent, and quite possibly the best way to end a meal in the entire city." - Omnia Saed
