A social atmosphere fit for a president. Join us where vibrant cocktail culture meets fun elegance and comfort food at this Dupont Circle neighborhood favorite. It is said that while President Theodore Roosevelt loved to eat, to him the dinner table was less an occasion for fine dining than as a springboard for conversations. In keeping with this, we have created a stunning interior design for Teddy and the Bully Bar that keeps patrons talking. Reflecting Theodore Roosevelt’s love for simple American comfort food, including steaks, oysters, fried chicken and house-made cornbread, our seasonal menus feature a contemporary twist on classic comfort dishes with a focus on quality, local and simplicity. We pay special attention to sourcing from our local producers, representing President Roosevelt’s belief to “Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.” We offer an exciting happy hour, energetic bottomless brunch (Sundays), and a perfect match of social energy and food culture.

    During our 14-day trip to the U.S., Jaleo in Washington, DC, stood out as the best dining experience. The lively ambiance, excellent service, and exceptional food made it truly memorable. We started with the Jamón Ibérico, which was exquisite—rich, tender, and packed with flavor. The highlight was the Paella with chicken, which was expertly prepared and served tableside by the General Manager. This personal touch elevated the experience, showcasing the care and authenticity behind every dish. Jaleo perfectly balances traditional Spanish flavors with modern flair. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, making us feel welcome throughout the meal. If you're in Washington, DC, Jaleo is a must-visit. It was the culinary highlight of our trip, and we look forward to returning!

    Christmas evening, joined by wife and sister, we dined at the Cut for the first time. Despite high expectations, we were in no way disappointed. Our dining experience validated the consistent praise and accolades that we had been hearing from our “foody friends” and fine-dining aficionados. The food and beverage offerings on the evening’s 3 course fixed-price menu were broad, qualitative, and diverse, the cuisine nicely presented and delicious, and the service impeccable (Pink was our wait-server). GREAT ambiance and decor as well. Nicely done. Congratulations and thank all of you for providing a memorable holiday dining experience!! Already looking forward to our encore. Best wishes for The Cut’s continued success. Bill Keppler Alexandria, VA and find Dining aficionados.
