"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. 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. A whale of a deal is in store during happy hour (4 p.m. to close and all night on Tuesdays), when oysters are just $1, and a robust bar program stars New York Sours and fig-sage rye cocktails. Vibe check: The throwback space near the Fillmore takes tips from Sinatra’s era." - Tierney Plumb
"Silver Spring restaurateur Jerry Hollinger features a large format steakhouse in an upscale setting with a raw bar and seafood platters. This includes fresh oysters and crabs sourced from the Chesapeake Bay watershed region and steaks raised on cattle farms in Texas for certified black Angus beef. There’s also an all-you-can-eat brunch buffet on Sundays priced at a very-reasonable $39 per person." - Tim Ebner
"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
"Restaurateur Jerry Hollinger (The Daily Dish and the Dish & Dram) delivered 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, followed by Rohan duck confit, homemade spinach ricotta ravioli, halibut filet atop summer succotash, and luxe lineup of steaks like A6 wagyu strip loin. Augment dishes with underwater add-ons like butter-poached crab, lobster, jumbo shrimp, and fried oysters. The Sinatra-like space near the Fillmore also has a robust bar program starring New York Sours and fig-sage rye cocktails. Opt for a la carte or a summer tasting menu starting at $32 for two courses." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
