Ryan Ratino's two-Michelin-star Adams Morgan tasting menu inside a discreet upstairs space — a 14-course Japanese-influenced experience cooked over binchotan and served by chefs at a single counter. The wine program is one of DC's deepest; the sake list reads like a course in itself. Hushed, exacting, the kind of room where every course feels like a private negotiation between the chef and the table. One of the most quietly serious meals in the country.
