Flora Flora

"The Wharf is DC's hottest destination for moneyed residents and visitors alike. Dazzling views are par for the course here, but Flora Flora, nestled on the second floor of the Pendry Hotel in a light-flooded space, equally delights diners with its welcoming spirit and Latin-American fare. Whether it's produce from Maryland's Karm Farm, bivalves from Orchard Point Oyster Co., or mushrooms from local forager Tom Mueller, the kitchen sources locally when possible. Most dishes have a flair, as in tuna crudo with grilled Jimmy Nardello red and green peppers with ajo blanco gazpacho. Street corn with a sprinkle of ancho chile powder is simple perfection, while empanadas, perhaps filled with variety of yellow squash, coconut milk and goat feta, are a can't-miss." - Michelin Inspector
