"I can't believe I'm saying this, but two of the restaurants I'm most excited about are steakhouses. For starters, I'm looking forward to Taco Bamba chef-founder Victor Albisu's boutique steakhouse Electric Bull in Vienna, which will specialize in lesser-seen cuts of meat, elevated egg dishes, and a bountiful raw bar. I'm also interested to see what Jônt/Bresca chef Ryan Ratino does at Ox & Olive, a "contemporary gothic" steakhouse and martini bar coming to the former Reverie space in Georgetown."
"It's easy to take time-worn restaurants for granted. Take a place like Crisfield, the Silver Spring seafood room that felt like it'd be around forever-until it closed last year. So let's hear it for the old-timers: Vace, La Refuge, Peking Gourmet Inn, Huong Viet. All are either pushing or past 40 years old, and they've stuck around for a reason."
"From fish tacos to cheeseburgers to fried chicken and mac and cheese, I've loved pretty much everything I've eaten from Shaw's Mélange. I'm excited to see what chef/owner Elias Taddesse has in store for the Bridge District, when he opens a bigger version of the restaurant this year."
An expanded Shaw's Mélange will open in the Bridge District under chef/owner Elias Taddesse. Electric Bull, from Taco Bamba chef-founder Victor Albisu, will be a boutique steakhouse in Vienna focused on lesser-seen cuts, elevated egg dishes, and a bountiful raw bar. Ox & Olive, from Jônt/Bresca chef Ryan Ratino, will be a "contemporary gothic" steakhouse and martini bar in Georgetown with playful offerings such as mini Chicago-style beef brisket hot dogs, individually garnished shrimp cocktail, and milk chocolate soft-serve with steak fries. Rye Bunny will return with Austin-inspired comfort food and counter service, and Ayat will bring Palestinian comfort food nearby. Longstanding neighborhood restaurants such as Vace, La Refuge, Peking Gourmet Inn, and Huong Viet merit continued attention for their longevity and consistent service.
