Lounge Last July, the St. Gregory Hotel and
restaurant designer Walter Gagliano (DC Coast,
Cafe Atlantico) changed the concept of the hotel
lounge from a destination or even way station for travelers to social gathering place for the greater community. The partnership has led away from the sometimes over-the-top nature of boutique hotel
lounge design to return to a marriage of classic elements of elegance and comfort. The St. Gregory always has been a hotel where comfort is paramount, so the inviting nature of its new 21M
Lounge should be no surprise. 21M
Lounge is inspired by Marilyn Monroe, long the St. Gregorys patron icon a timeless American
beauty skilled in the art of overt and implied seduction. We took the visual cue of the Marilyn statue in the lobby of the St. Gregory, which we love dearly and which gives the double meaning to the name 21M
Lounge, Gagliano says. We wanted something that reminded us of the famous Marilyn Monroe mural at Connecticut Avenue and Calvert Street, where shes looking right at you, just drawing you in. 21M
Lounge is entered through the hotel lobby, a plush, inviting space in tones of soft maple, ivory, gold and black. At the far end of the
lounge, Gagliano has created his centerpiece a mesmerizing, glass sun
room, perfect for people watching into the night. Here is a
lounge to gather and relax on sleek, contemporized wing back, high-back sofas, or nickel chairs with red heart-shaped satin backs and black seats, around gorgeous Massa gold limestone
cafe tables. The muted red tones are gently illuminated by fabric cloud lighting. Inside hangs a portrait of Marilyn framed in a rose red gauzy fabric: at once both hot and cool. Its a return to the truer essence of modern design, Gagliano says. It draws less attention to itself and is more about the people and the comfort. Thats significant for a hotel, rather than a place screaming for its own attention. Its about the people. Upscale mezze dining only enhances 21M Lounges communal experience. While all dishes are not necessarily Mediterranean in origin, they are based on the regions tradition of shared food. The
cuisine is steeped in comfort foods and creatively presented cooking, his irresistible small plates and appetizers sometimes playfully enhanced with Asian accents. Music at 21M
Lounge is hip, not cloying, and sensuous, not competitive with conversation. We invite you to come have a look at the exciting new 21M

Bar Grill Chef Ronde Murphy has turned his attention to home this fall; not necessarily his birthplace of Baltimore, but the idea and suggestion of homespun goodness and warmth evoked by a special kind of cooking. A new dish on his menu at this sunny and cozy enclave off of bustling M Street is simply called Meat and Potatoes (Like your mama told you, the chef teases) and it features the most tender seared beef medallions doused in a delicious gravy touched with orange marmalade, cracked pepper and brandy. His pan-roasted chicken is an American classic; a succulent half-chicken with burnished, crisp skin served with pecan-studded sweet potato mash, a side of macaroni and cheese and wilted broccolini. Autumnal and lovely. Seafood here is a knockout: Dry pack scallops are big and sweet, served on a bed of crisp greens and angel hair pasta lightly touched with a lime-butter emulsion. A salmon fillet topped with sliced roasted red bell peppers rests atop a wonderfully reserved crab risotto. M Street appetizers and small plates split the difference between tapas and full entrees, with wonderful treats like soy-roasted duck tortillas and curry spiked Maryland crab cakes. The
restaurant performs expert catering with the full menu, on premise or off, for special events and holiday
parties. M Street

Grill Huge Proportions, Great Prices and Great
Drinks Make This an Excellent Place for
Dinner and a Nightcap. Story By: Mick Myers and Erin Zollars/ Pointed Magazine Staff Photos By: Sol Tucker/ Pointed Magazine Staff. When we went searching to find a high end
restaurant and
bar that combined great service, unique menu items and great
drinks, it was a tough decision because some places in Washington have one or two of what we were looking for, but it was the M Street
Bar and
Cafe that provided us with one of the best all around dining experiences we have had in downtown in a long time. [Read the Complete Article]. A Gratuity of 18% Will Be Added to
