"For $59 per person, Gerrard Street Kitchen inside The Darcy will serve you a three-course menu, paired with a signature cocktail featuring Takamine whiskey — a spirit with a backstory tied to our nation’s capital. Courses include Asian salad prepared with fresh ginger and a sesame vinaigrette, orange blossom miso-glazed sea bass accompanied by crispy rice, and for dessert, a floating island crafted with orange blossom, crème anglaise, passionfruit purée, and toasted almonds. Wash it all down with Sakura Reverie, featuring a blend of Koji-fermented Takamine whiskey aged in Sakura casks, Sakura bitters, and sweet vermouth." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb

"The glamorous Darcy hotel restaurant that’s normally known for paratha tacos and Korean chicken wings just built out a new eight-seat sushi counter next to its cocktail bar. The glassy raw bar, open 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., sends out a la carte sashimi and rolls like “What a Match” (shrimp tempura, spicy tuna, avocado, and unagi sauce). Chef Kelly Suarez also prepares nine-course omakase dinners on Friday and Saturday nights ($90 per person). Reservations are on a first come, first served basis. The surprise seafood upgrade harkens back to the Logan Circle space’s days as Michelin-rated Siren." - Tierney Plumb
