“I wanted to make something that I could get in New York, or London, or Los Angeles. So I thought, let me try to build this thing in my own hometown.”

“St. Anselm steakhouse is just weeks away from finalizing its highly-anticipated expansion from Williamsburg to Washington. The tavern-style restaurant expects to open its 5,000 square-foot location at 5th and Morse St. NE on September 9.”

At Le Diplomate, it’s as if someone picked up a Parisian bistro and dropped it in the middle of D.C.’s trendy 14th Street—shiny red booths, green subway tile, a show-stopping zinc bar, and all.

“With reasonable prices and a stunning waterfront view, El Vez might well be the best all-around new restaurant so far.”
