Westend Bistro

Westend Bistro is becoming all the rage for DC locals. It's a new, stylish restaurant in the West End of Washington, DC on M Street, inside of the Ritz Carlton hotel. Here's what Eric Ripert, Culinary Director, reports in the Zagat about the new bistro:

One-Week Countdown to DC's Westend Bistro by Eric Ripert


DC foodies, who have been counting down the hours to the November 8th debut of The Ritz-Carlton's Westend Bistro by Eric Ripert, will rejoice that they have only one more week to go until they can taste Ripert's (of NYC's acclaimed Le Bernardin) take on classic French and American fare (think fish burgers with saffron aïoli and roast stuffed chicken). While the food – prepared by Le Bernardin's former sous-chef Leonardo Marino – is clearly the draw here, the bistro's sleek environs glowing with gold leaf and seductive lighting ensure it's a feast for all senses (1190 22nd St. NW; 202-974-4900).

I'm looking forward to trying this one out. The menu sounds fantastic, with a theme of American cuisine, and prices ranging from $31 to $50.
