The restaurant is owned by the Ben Ali Family and features new dishes such as stuffed yucca with gouda and guava sauce; a flash-fried oyster po-boy with citrus aioli, garden lettuce and concasse; and whole fried snapper served with coconut mojo and plantains reflecting the Caribbean and Southern influences of the Ali Family’s heritage. The extensive bar offerings include signature cocktails and craft beers on tap.

“Ben Ali was born in Trinidad and his wife Virginia Ali is from Southern Virginia. We want our exciting new menu to reflect those roots of the family,” says Director of Operations Manuel Iguina. “Our new management team is committed to focusing on superior customer service, to ensure an experience that’s on par with the best dining in D.C.”
