 CityZen Restaurant Review: Power, money and fine dining converge in a single space at CityZen, located in the Mandarin Oriental, Washington DC. Service rules, with a staff that cares about the correct placement of cutlery, the presentation of courses, and the speed with which all of this is carried out. Executive chef Eric Ziebold’s American cuisine is offered via three menus: a four-course prix-fixe ($90), a six-course chef’s tasting ($120, add $85 for wine pairing) and a six-course vegetarian tasting ($115, add $85 for wine pairing). Starters may include tournedos of New Zealand Arctic char with carrot linguine, golden raisins, pain d’épices crumbs and Ricard gastrique. Roasted Lancaster County kid goat, caramelized sunchoke, grilled kohlrabi, poached date and fuyu persimmon coulis might follow. And don’t forget to consider the artisanal selections stocking the cheese trolley. The CityZen caramel turtle will end things on a sweet note, with its whipped milk chocolate cream, hot chocolate tuile and crumbled pecan sandy. Look to sommelier Andrew Myers for advice when perusing the wine list. His passion and easy spirit reject elitism. As it turns out, CityZen really begins to buzz at the socially chic hour of 10 p.m. Another option for something a little more off-the-cuff: a three-course bar tasting menu ($50, add $25 for wine pairing). |
