Adam Shulman, a former executive at MGM Resorts, opens Lobby Bar across from Eastern Market on May 16. This 66-seat restaurant aims to embody classic American cuisine, featuring inventive takes on nostalgic dishes like pigs in blankets and crab cakes, overseen by chef Andre Williams. The cocktail menu will highlight martinis, including an oyster martini. Shulman envisions Lobby Bar as a calm retreat from the Capitol Hill hustle, inspired by upscale New York City venues, yet distinct in its offering and atmosphere.
"It was because I could literally see, right off the bat, what it should look like. The place spoke to me, and it was the type of spot that I could see myself hanging out in with the right amount of polishing and refinement."
"There will be fun little takes on stuff that will bring back some of your good core memories. The menu features throwbacks like pigs in blankets and chicken pot pie."
"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? We're not trying to be anybody else, and we're not trying to copy anybody else. I love to draw inspiration from places that do things at a very high level."
