Part of STARR Restaurants
Since 1906, The Occidental has welcomed world leaders and Beltway locals alike for classic fare and an insider's perspective. With a nod to its remarkable history and ceremonious pomp, we're bringing back this fine American dining experience. Step into a glamorous, bygone era where dapper captains in crisp white tuxedos cater to every whim. In reverence to the predecessor’s mid-century dishes, the menu features raw bar specialties, caviar service, prime rib, and bananas foster flambéed tableside. A wine list of rare vintages from iconic producers complements a nostalgic cocktail program serving the coldest martinis in the city.
