Why they're an Icon
Executive chef: Joseph Allen
From the OpenTable editors: DC's oldest restaurant, just steps from the White House, continues to be one of the city’s most sought-after reservations for its historic ambiance and iconic oyster happy hours. Snag a seat in the main dining room decked with antique chandeliers and patriotic murals to feast on massive seafood towers, crab cakes, and premium steaks alongside local powerbrokers.
