New American cooking is arguably Washington's signature mode, an inventive, seasonal style that defines its most celebrated kitchens. The Dabney in Shaw cooks over a wood hearth with a mid-Atlantic focus, while Rose's Luxury on Capitol Hill helped set the template for the city's playful, ingredient-led dining. Rooster and Owl in Logan Circle and Annabelle near Dupont Circle carry the tasting-menu end of the form.
