Jônt
14th Street NW, Washington, D.C., United States
Jônt turns dinner into a close encounter with the kitchen, with a counter above Bresca and a progression that draws strongly on Japanese ingredients and techniques. Seafood and meat receive equally careful treatment, supported by sauces that give the meal depth as well as precision. The energetic soundtrack keeps the atmosphere from becoming overly solemn, and the move to a separate dessert counter provides a distinct final act. This is a destination for diners who enjoy surrendering the evening to a tasting menu.
