"Albi won its star in 2022 for James Beard award winner and Maryland native Michael Rafidi’s take on Levantine fare. The sleek Navy Yard spot serves pitas with hummus and local produce and seasonal kebabs and sfeeha (meat pies) as a la carte options. Albi’s team of sommeliers also shines a light on hard-to-find Eastern Mediterranean wines that pair well with a semi-improvisational tasting menu served at the exclusive hearth table ($175)." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
