"A seven‑year‑old steakhouse in D.C., listed among Starr’s biggest there and named in NLRB complaints alleging labor law violations amid unionization efforts." - Melissa McCart
"This seven-year-old D.C. steakhouse is under the same labor spotlight, with United Here 25 alleging “unjust working conditions” like lack of health insurance and sick time, while some workers and a D.C. Starr restaurant representative accuse the union of “coercive tactics” to sway support—particularly here—by “promising immigration assistance in exchange for voting yes,” claims they say “unfairly and inappropriately influenced” results." - Andrea Strong
"Returning on Saturday, September 27, from noon to 5 p.m., the second annual Wine-toberfest at Stephen Starr’s longstanding tavern transforms its Union Market patio into a lively German-style Weingarten with over 25 wines—rieslings, lesser-known varietals, bold reds, and sparkling Sekt—plus endless Bavarian banquet bites like pretzels and schnitzel; each $75 ticket via Resy includes a commemorative wine glass, unlimited tastings, and a full pour of your top pick." - Tierney Plumb
"The Washington, D.C. outpost of an American tavern known for robust, hearty fare; one signature item that inspired the onboard menu is a charred Bobo chicken served with acorn squash and aji verde sauce, showcasing the restaurant's smoky, flavor-forward approach." - Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta Michael Cappetta is a travel writer with over 10 years of experience in journalism and television news.

"The Union Market district’s steakhouse stalwart from restaurateurs Stephen Starr and Joe Carroll stars an open kitchen grilling up a half-dozen different cuts of beef, including a flat iron steak cooked in a rich butter sauce and an ax handle ribeye that easily serves two. Order the salmon collar, bone-in skate wing, and giant prawn or oysters for dishes that steal the spotlight. The restaurant expanded its outdoor seating during the pandemic that’s here to stay. Starr is also behind the Willard hotel’s opulent new Occidental restaurant, which also has a stellar steak selection." - Tierney Plumb
