"A two MICHELIN-starred contemporary restaurant by Chef Ryan Ratino offering a unique dining experience with top-rate seafood and meat from Japan." - Kevin Chau
"Toast to 2025 in style with one of two Michelin-rated meals from chef Ryan Ratino on 14th Street NW. One-starred Bresca offers a luxe tasting menu full of Alba white truffles, Champagne, and caviar ($225 per person). Reserve via OpenTable here. Or go with one of two seatings at two-starred JÔNT upstairs (6 p.m. or 9 p.m.) Reserve here." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Chef Ryan Ratino’s futuristic kitchen wows front-row diners with cured and fermented ingredients like dry-aged meats, vinegars, lacto-fermented fruits and vegetables, and misos spread across prix fixe menus that grow to up to 31 progressive courses. Snag a seat around the sleek 17-seat counter here. Dining here is not cheap, priced at $375 per person." - Emily Venezky
"One of D.C.'s only two-starred restaurants known for its excellent cooking worthy of a detour." - Tierney Plumb
