The area’s first three-star eatery is nothing less than spectacular. Head Chef Patrick O’Connell’s creations are divinely luxurious without overcomplicating things while maintaining the charm of traditional French cuisine. Their wine cellar boasts over 14,000 bottles of wine, so there is undoubtedly a perfect pair for your meal. For a special dining experience, consider reserving one of their two Kitchen Tables. These seats are located on either side of their kitchen fireplace, and guests are invited to watch the magic happen behind-the-scenes. These tables are available for reservation every night for $595, and it’s an experience you won’t soon forget. 

 

 

DuPont Circle’s Michelin-starred Japanese restaurant Sushi Taro offers a remarkable dining experience at their Omakase Counter. When guests sit at the counter, they are agreeing to participate in an interactive tasting experience that might ask them to break out of their shell, try new flavors, and learn about the art of sushi. Diners get to choose seasonal dishes that are specifically crafted for them and are served four to six small dishes, fresh sashimi, and seasonally chosen sushi dishes to complete their meal. Other dining options are available at Sushi Taro, such as sushi à la carte and a choice of tasting menus, like the Wagyu & Lobster Kaiseki Tasting Menu and the Suppon Kaiseki Menu. 

 

 

This two-star restaurant serves up a nine-course tasting menu that is out of this world. A meal of this size can last up to three hours, and a seat at one of their main dining room tables or at the Chef’s Counter is $325 per person. This includes alcoholic beverage pairings chosen to smartly complement each dish. Similarly, for a third of the cost, a five-course version of the night’s meal is served at the bar with drinks à la carte. Either way you choose to dine, an evening at Pineapple and Pearls is sure to be equal parts hospitable and extravagant like their name suggests.
