 1789 Restaurant Restaurant Review: Perhaps the grande dame of Washington restaurants, 1789 plays host to many of DC’s and the nation’s power players. Housed in an historic federalist residence, the restaurant retains its distinctive air of gentility while brash newcomers open, operate, and close. Open for dinners only and for decadent holiday and graduation brunches, the restaurant has made its reputation on more than its good looks: it’s the cooking, as its fans can attest. The menu reflects seasonal adaptations, such as local Virginia ham with pumpkin spätzle, collard greens, cinnamon Gala apples and ham bone jus. Starters are equally as accomplished, from the crispy terrine with roasted Pink Lady apple salad and the wild mushroom crêpes to the cauliflower soup and the chef's tagliatelle. Toss calorie cares aside to enjoy one of the pastry chef’s treats: ice cream profiteroles, chocolate poached pear or a rustic apple galette. Executive chef Anthony Lombardo promises frequent menu changes, so you will always be surprised and delighted. Naturally, such an elegant restaurant demands an equally elegant wine list, and you will find nearly 200 wines collected from the world's best vintners. Wines are available by the glass or by the half bottle for those wishing to sample different selections. Puzzled by the best choice for your meal? Be sure to ask for suggestions. |
