From a press release:

“Chandelier, an ultra-luxe 180-seat steakhouse and seafood concept inspired by globally recognized, experience-driven fine-dining restaurants in London, Turkey and Dubai, will debut within weeks at 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, steps from the White House, Old Post Office tower and more.

The most upscale of offerings from DC-based Keystone Hospitality Group (ZOOZ, Urban Roast), Chandelier is where luxury hospitality and memorable design meet culinary excellence, where diners can enjoy the escapism of a decadent night out enveloped by atmosphere, incredible food and frictionless – if occasionally theatrical – service.

Practically lined in black marble and sumptuous crimson leather, with 23 chandeliers, concierge-style host stand, waterfall and fireplace feature, and grand piano for regular live music, the restaurant’s design evokes Art Deco glam. Hovering over the massive, oval-shaped bar (with seating for more than 40) is Chandelier’s namesake, a 40-foot custom chandelier, bathing guests in the ideal light for a slightly less formal dinner or cocktails, while a wine-lined private dining room with towering ceilings and private entry is perfect for seated events of up to 36 guests.
