"Chef Ryan Ratino’s one-star bistro on lower 14th Street NW whips up a four-course opening act menu ($75) and a six-course dinner ($165 per person) filled out by Kanpachi crudo with daikon and dry-aged duck with apple and endives. The a la carte menu riffs off dishes on the tasting menus, with the added option of large format dishes. These meaty options serve two to four people, ranging from Australian wagyu with koginut squash and black walnut to chicken cooked with mushrooms and jus ($95-$123)." - Tierney Plumb, Emily Venezky
