J. Hollinger's Waterman's Chophouse

"Restaurateur Jerry Hollinger (the Daily Dish and the Dish & Dram) delivered to downtown Silver Spring an Art Deco-styled American chophouse and raw bar celebrating local farmers, watermen, and purveyors. A black truffle vinaigrette-dressed beet salad or shrimp and pork belly toast adorned with homemade kimchi are good ways to start; follow those with Rohan duck confit, homemade spinach ricotta ravioli, halibut filet atop summer succotash, or anything from the luxe lineup of steaks. Augment dishes with underwater add-ons like butter-poached crab, lobster, jumbo shrimp, and fried oysters. The throwback space near the Fillmore also has a robust bar program starring New York Sours and fig-sage rye cocktails." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky

"This classy addition to downtown Silver Spring’s dining scene lives up to the chophouse part of its name with a selection of steaks like a 6-ounce tenderloin filet surrounded with creamed spinach, an herb-rubbed porterhouse with potato gruyere croquette, a tomahawk for two, and 8-ounce bavette steak (frites) adorned with garlic-parsley butter. Make the meal a surf-and-turf affair with add-ons like lobster, shrimp, and poached crab." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
