A Georgetown fixture since the early 1930s, Martin's Tavern leans decisively towards the historical - rather than the trendy - aspect of this neighborhood. The former New York Giants baseball player William G. Martin opened this neighborhood pub in 1933. Today his grandson, Billy Martin runs the family business. Dark wood paneling and touches of hunter green make for an attractive interior. The menu features American and continental classics - steak and seafood as well as pasta served with marinara or alfredo sauces.

Minibar
Counted among Washington’s premier dining destinations, Minibar by José Andrés is a gastronomic gem. Using modernist techniques, the tasting menu here keeps the diners guessing and at the edge of their seats. In a contrast from the chic entry lounge, the dining room resembles a laboratory. The chef’s glistening stainless steel workspace, around which the diners are seated, appears more like a stage where his experimental cooking comes alive, only to be quickly devoured. Some of their famed meals include Liquid Olives, Yuba Egg-White Drizzled with Cured-Yolk Sauce and a Spanish Jackrabbit Broth. That’s right, the dishes served here are edible creativity.
Barmini
Minibar offers avant garde contemporary cuisine and delicious cocktails. Enjoy the 'Olive Oil Bonbons' while watching your chef prepare the menu in style. A seating arrangement for mere six diners means you need to book your table a month in advance. This charming little place is sure to please even the most discerning diner.
