Dine Al Fresco
Join us on our waterfront patio this fall and make the most of the season with locally sourced seafood and sweeping views of the Potomac River. With warm days and crisp evenings, it’s arguably the best time of year for outdoor dining here in Washington D.C., and we’re now taking a limited number of reservations for our outdoor seating area.
Whether you’re stopping by for sunset cocktails during Gilded Hour and Shuck & Sip, or settling in for brunch, lunch or dinner, come and savour the sunshine while it lasts.
