Briefly

Stephen Starr's Revival of the Occidental Is Certainly Chic-But Is it Delicious?
The Occidental, a legendary restaurant near the White House, has been revitalized by restaurateur Stephen Starr, bringing back its historical charm after a pandemic closure. The establishment is known for its chic decor, superior cocktails, and a menu filled with high-end dishes, making it Starr's most expensive venue in Washington. With an elegant setting and a curated selection of dishes, the restaurant embodies a sophisticated dining experience that appeals to both casual diners and those seeking a high-end meal.
"Restaurateur Stephen Starr's most ambitious and expensive area restaurant is this chic dining room with icy martinis and Don Draper-era dishes."
"In March, Stephen Starr reintroduced DC to the Occidental, a restaurant more than a century old, making it a prominent power dining spot."
"The two stories of bars and dining rooms are glam but sophisticated, with olive-green velvet, brass-handled chairs, and a cheeky mural reminiscent of Bemelman's Bar."
"Chef Neil O'Connell, an alum of Pastis Miami, oversees the kitchen, ensuring that the sophisticated menu matches the elegant ambiance of the restaurant."
