 New Things To Try In The Area:
Check out these delicious restaurants to start out the New Year with a bang!


Graffiato
Opened in June 2011, Graffiato is an Italian- inspired restaurant located in Chinatown. Owned by celebrity chef Mike Isabella, from Top Chef Season 6, Isabella wanted to create a more personal interaction with guests by incorporating an open ham bar, and a large U-Shaped bar that overlooks a wood oven.

Graffiato is perfect for a later after work dinner with co-workers, family, or friends, with its late closing hours. Graffiato would also be perfect for an office dinner with its wide range of food selections and reasonably priced dishes.
Some of our favorite items on the menu include: The American Pie Pizza, The Jersey Shore Pizza, The Lobster Risotto, The Roasted Potato Gnocchi, The Scallops, The Wild Boar, and The Wild Mushroom Soup. 



Room 11
Room 11 has just announce that they will be expanding their restaurant located at 11th + Lamont St. NW! Room 11 is the perfect casual after work drinks and a great meal outing with friends and co-workers. Their menu changes faster than we can keep up, but the current  menu includes: Sea Scallops A La Plancha, Duck Confit, Short Rib, Beet Salad, Pot De Creme, and Cupcake of The Day. 


Room 11 has also recently announced that they will be open for Sunday Brunch with menu items including: Wild Mushroom Bruschetta, Fresh Seasonal Fruit Cup, Ginger Scone, Savory Chili French Toast, Smoke Salmon Plate, and Green Eggs with Ham.
