DBGB

"At 8,000 square feet, Seven Reasons 2.0 will be nearly twice as large as the original with room for 130 sit-down diners, 15 at the bar, and two private dining rooms (931 H Street NW). Glassy brasserie DBGB, French celebrity chef Daniel Boulud’s sole D.C. establishment, quietly closed last fall after an eight-year run." - Tierney Plumb

"At Daniel Boulud’s recently reopened restaurant in CityCenter, this warming winter staple ($16) is made with Pierre Ferrand 1840 Cognac, St. George spice pear liqueur, mint syrup, lemon juice, fresh nutmeg, star anise, and a lemon peel garnish." - Kalina Newman, Tierney Plumb

"Daniel Boulud's take on the classic French brasserie serving Lyonnais-inspired eats. 'DBGB Kitchen and Bar’s City Center locale may rub shoulders with the likes of Hermès and Louis Vuitton, but this light-filled French restaurant maintains a relaxed elegance with tile floors, dark wood furnishings and orb pendant lights. It’s the kind of place where local politicos and dealmakers come to dish, drink and dine.'" - Abbe Baker

"Daniel Boulud’s D.C. brasserie reopens with a new executive chef and seasonally solid options." - Tierney Plumb

"Another high-profile NYC restaurateur, French chef Daniel Boulud, also made the tough call to "indefinitely" shutter locations after dinner service on Friday night, including Boulud’s 6-year-old DBGB DC in CityCenter DC, as well his prolific portfolio across Manhattan." - Gabe Hiatt
