The Red Hen 'Concedes Nothing' to Rose's Luxury

Rose's Luxury should have won Best New Restaurant, according to two of the Post's food critics. That's one of Tim Carman's arguments for why the Rammys need to start allowing non-members of the Restaurant Industry Metropolitan Washington to be nominated for awards. "How much more influence could a new restaurant and a young chef have than Rose's Luxury and Aaron Silverman?" he writes....

Tackling Pig Heads at Poste and The Partisan

As diners have gotten more adventurous over the years, so too have the dishes at many restaurants around town. What was once a niche dining option, head-to-tail dining, is now borderline mainstream, with offal dishes and lesser-used animal parts commonplace at restaurants like The Red Hen in Bloomingdale, Silver Spring's new Urban Butcher and The Pig in Logan Circle (where they have an entire...

Thieves Make Off with The Red Hen's Bench

Here's the latest in restaurant theft: outdoor furniture. A green bench outside of The Red Hen was stolen from the property last night. Co-owner Sebastian Zutant says he noticed the bench was missing around 9 p.m., and it had been outside the restaurant during the day.

Given it was a regular-sized bench that seats three people, it would have required multiple perpetrators to remove it from the...

The Red Hen Gives its Wine List a Seasonal Refresh

It isn't uncommon for people to, say, drink gin rather than bourbon or switch from red wine to white during the warmer months. Red Hen co-owner and wine director Sebastian Zutant wanted his restaurant's wine list to reflect that kind of philosophy and flexibility.

"It was a goal of mine when I opened this restaurant to have a seasonal wine list to complement the seasonal menu," he told Eater....

I found Red Hen to be overrated. I came here for dinner with my dad on a Tuesday night and it was more crowded than I thought. There was a wait for a table so we got some drinks at the bar while...

The Red Hen is a classy Italian restaurant known for their intimate ambiance and thoughtfully-presented dishes. When on the First Street North West, it is not difficult to locate this restaurant thanks to the huge red silhouette of a hen drawn on the exterior of the place, the image kind of speaks volumes about the character of the restaurant, fun and quirky. Inside, the restaraunt has an...
