"Capitol HillTwinkle-lit, farmhouse-chic restaurant known for its bold small platesIn 2014, it was practically a badge of honor to get a table at Rose’s Luxury, Aaron Silverman’s cult favorite New American restaurant nestled into a converted Capitol Hill townhouse. The restaurant became as synonymous with delicious small plates as it did with the ever-present line that made its way down the street as diners sometimes waited hours for a table. Considering that countless new restaurants have opened with just as much initial buzz, we’re almost surprised to say that the line is still there -- a testament to just how good this Michelin-starred restaurant really is."

"Local chef Aaron Silverman’s two-story Barrack’s Row joint is worth every little bit of the buzz it’s getting. Rose’s doesn’t take reservations and a line forms at 4pm on weekends for a 5:30 seating; but don’t let this be too offputting. Rose’s menu is Southern meets Jewish meets Japanese meets French meets Thai meets your grandmother’s home cooking, and changes often."

"If you’re looking for a place to enjoy a special occasion, look no further than The Portofino Restaurant. Since 1970, the establishment has been serving up a fine line in first-rate Italian cuisine, becoming a firm local favorite in the process. Tucked away in a menu of pasta, soups, and salads are some seriously fine seafood dishes, including an exemplary Frutti di Mare (shrimp, scallops, calamari, and mussels marinated in olive oil and lemon over greens) and the house signature of Omaggi di Nettuno (lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, and fresh mushrooms in brandy cream sauce served over Fettucine)."
