This is a special occasion restaurant. If you're looking to indulge yourself, the 7-Course Chef's Tasting Menu is on point. Wine pairing is available, but be forewarned....I couldn't handle that much wine. I stopped drinking around the 4th course.

My favorite burger place in the DC Area......when you walk in, you'll see paper menu and pencils. Create your own burger and let your imagination go wild. There are tons of options to choose from.
The first time I made one, I had to eat it with a fork....that's how big it was....and I couldn't finish it.
Their truffle fries are also delicious.
