Washington, D.C. Restaurants

1905 Review

This spot's logo features an antiqued key, which is the perfect symbol for a dining experience so intimate you'll want to keep it a closely guarded secret. Young chef Matthew Richardson unites the flavors of France, Greece, and Italy with all-American touches for his intelligent comfort food. Spinach pie is served with a piquant heirloom bean cake, while the ubiquitous bistro burger gets an exotic makeover thanks to mushrooms cooked into the patty and a coat of brie. The dining room's refurbished Victorian-era fixtures and wallpaper create a romantic buzz that recalls the Moulin Rouge—in fact, canoodling couples like to sip absinthe in the more private window booths.
