Aaron Silverman's flagship Capitol Hill restaurant — the place that won a James Beard Best New Restaurant in 2014, defined a wave of DC dining, and still draws lines down 8th Street for the no-reservations à la carte upstairs and the more formal tasting menu at Little Pearl next door. The pork-and-lychee salad is the dish that started the legend. Warm, loud, the kind of room where the energy of the night carries the cooking forward.
