The Greenhouse

"Located inside the celebrated Jefferson hotel, the restaurant’s fireplace enhances the coziness of this historic gem that’s adorned with chandeliers and crown molding." - Mekita Rivas, Eater Staff

"Some dates call for a perfectly stirred martini, and those dates should be saved for dinner at The Greenhouse. While the Jefferson Hotel is popular with foreign dignitaries—some of whom might be eating at the table next to yours—the candlelight, historic fireplace, and tables cordoned off with curtains inspire more romance than business. Regardless of your reason for being here, you’ll want to dress up—your best blazer would fit in well. The menu is mostly fancy classics like scallops, oysters, and squid ink risotto, and while nothing’s revolutionary, everything is prepared exceptionally, and the white tablecloth, classic DC vibe justify the price tag." - Madeline Weinfield

"If money is no object, consider booking this posh replacement to Plume inside the Jefferson Hotel — which was just named “an exceptional stay” by the Michelin Guide. The colonial revival space requires a $22,500 food and beverage minimum, with the option to do a cocktail reception at Quill, the hotel’s lobby bar." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tim Ebner, Eater Staff

"One of Washington’s most extravagant hotels recently swapped its formerly Michelin-rated Plume in favor of The Greenhouse. Chef Fabio Salvatore’s menu suits those interested in splurging on a memorable meal as opposed to overpriced bottle service. Find Chesapeake Orchard oysters, king salmon tartare, burrata and a spring green salad with Asian pear (all $21) on the appetizer menu, and on the entrees side there’s a spring risotto ($41) and a $64 filet mignon." - Vinciane Ngomsi
