CityZen 
$$$$, American, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
The Mandarin Hotel's rarefied dining room has fast become a destination for those serious about food. In a glowing space with soaring ceilings, chef Eric Zeibold, formerly of Napa Valley's famed French Laundry, creates luxe fixed-price meals from the finest ingredients. Unexpected little treasures abound, such as scrambled eggs with white truffles shaved at the table and buttery miniature Parker House rolls. Main courses could include black bass over caramelized cauliflower and braised veal shank with potato gnocchi, and desserts such as Meyer lemon soufflé seem spun out of air. A three-course meal is $75, and the tasting menus run $90-$105.
User Reviews & Ratings:
arrogant staff
Posted by bourbonst from Virginia on 8/4/07
I tried to entertain 3 business colleagues and we were met at the door with aloof arrogance. Then the waiter was over the top. Rude and if we didnt exactly follow his lead, was brusk and arrogant. With as many wonderful restaurants as there are in DC, I could not recommend CityZen.
