Little Blackbird is a sensory experience that is unique among wine bars. With a Chef-driven menu we focus on the relationship between wine and food.
"A restaurant located in Cleveland Park, D.C., part of the Knightsbridge Restaurant Group." - Tierney Plumb
"From Friday through Sunday, Little Blackbird will honor Bastille Day with a two-course prix fixe menu. Priced at $95 per person, it begins with a chicken cordon bleu paired with a four-ounce pour of Domaine A.P. Villaine Bouzeron (Aligoté Dore). Next up is a canard aux cerises (seared duck breast with sour cherry demi-glaze) paired with three two-ounce pours of French reds: Cru Beaujolais, Burgundy, and Rhone. Both dishes and pairings will also be available a la carte and priced at $50 each." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Little Black Bird is a mid-priced establishment offering a thoughtfully executed menu and great vibe." - Adele Chapin
"Knightsbridge Restaurant Group’s latest conception will also offer a variety of specials in addition to the a la carte menu on December 31. Executive chef Ryan Moore’s spread includes duck leg confit with lyonnaise potato, caramelized onion, lardon, crispy potato, blini with Osetra caviar, creme fraîche and chives, as well as beef tenderloin with roasted potatoes and beurre rouge sauce. Little Blackbird will be open from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on New Year’s Eve." - Vinciane Ngomsi
"Cleveland Park’s month-old Little Blackbird invites adult diners to indulge in wine-and-Halloween candy pairings starting tonight, Monday, October 16, through Sunday, November 5. Each mass-produced sugary staple, presented tableside on a sleek white plate, comes with a sommelier-selected, 5-ounce pour ($14-$17). Little Blackbird also applies that ethos to its year-round 'playful pairings' section. Since opening in September in the old Bardeo space, Little Blackbird has served savory Cheetos with sauvignon blanc; Almond Joy alongside sweet French Sauternes; and cream sherry with Oreo cookies. The core menu centers around globe-trotting dishes like hearth-roasted halloumi, squash gnocchi, and Icelandic cod. For a bonafide dessert, chef Ryan Moore’s single malt butterscotch pudding — a sweet and boozy treat made with 10-year-old Scotch whisky mixed straight in — is not to miss." - Tierney Plumb
