"After a devastating fire shortly after earning its first MICHELIN Star, Johnny Spero’s Georgetown restaurant returns with a completely new look by Edit Lab. The 2,200-square-foot space trades the counter for a 36-seat dining room with an option kitchen, while the tasting menu targets 14–16 courses at $250. Spero continues his naturalistic, coastal seafood vision—think Maryland crab and Spanish turbot, house ferments, light, high-acid sauces, and Japanese touches like kombu-cured scallops in a buttermilk and dill emulsion." - Kat Odell
