At Robert's Restaurant & Terrace, polished service meets a menu grounded in the region—local farms, seasonal picks, and dishes that satisfy without shouting. Mornings bring hearty breakfasts with park views; afternoons shift to MD Crabcake Sandwiches with slaw and remoulade, ideally chased by a D.C. Gin Rickey on the terrace. Saturdays are special: Alice's Tea Party, a nod to Carroll's classic, brings tiered trays and teas to match. The Marquee Bar & Lounge keeps evenings lively—part cocktail bar, part neighborhood perch, with Brown Derbies, game-day screens, and small plates that hit the right note. Come summer, the tempo slows by the pool: citrus salads, mint popsicles, and limeade between hot tub dips. Even Morsel's gets in on the act with Stance espresso, buttery pastries, and grab-and-go bites for zoo-goers and Rock Creek joggers. | | | | |  | | Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel and Spa | | Vero Beach, FL | | On a stretch of Florida better known to locals than guidebooks, Kimpton Vero Beach Hotel and Spa trades flash for flavor and delivers where it counts. Anchoring the property are two standout dining experiences shaped in part by Executive Chef Matt Lange's refined, coastal-driven sensibility and Lead Bartender Jacob Turner's knack for bold, balanced cocktails. At Cobalt, a sharply honed, globally informed palate has been brought to Vero's Atlantic edge, where menus lean into seasonal coastal fare without losing their nerve. Grand seafood towers stack high with lobster, oysters, and snow crab; brunch lingers into a happy hour; and cocktails (start with the Bee's Blossom) are best savored with a slow afternoon and no reason to rush. Heaton's keeps things refined by the pool with scallop skewers and rye barrel–aged rum. The man behind the drinks doesn't just mix cocktails—he builds them, layering house-made syrups and bold flavors with precision. It's all wrapped in a setting that never competes with the view—just complements it, one breeze and bite at a time. | | | | |  | | ModernHaus Soho | | New York, NY | | Even for native New Yorkers, ModernHaus SoHo is obsession-worthy. There's just something about it. Maybe it's the 11,000 square feet of outdoor space, or the view from the pool deck. Or it could be the hotel's custom scent, created by perfumer Lola James Harper, or the art collection featuring works from some of the world's most recognizable names. But the buzz likely comes from its undeniably chic, utterly amazing drinking and dining options. Twenty Three Grand is a standout in the SoHo dining scene, transporting diners to a hidden garden perch above the streets where they can enjoy familiar classics with a Mediterranean flair under a retractable glass roof. While the bar at Twenty Three Grand is perfect for a post-work drink, rooftop lounge JIMMY is a club-scene staple that can't be missed. With an intimate, sophisticated vibe and sweeping views, it starts as a conversation-friendly lounge and turns up the volume as the night progresses. The best part? You can party late knowing your bed is just an elevator ride away. | | | | | | Hotel Sorrento | | Seattle, WA | | This historic hotel isn't just a swanky place to stay in the heart of Seattle, it's also home to some of the neighborhood's most beloved spots for dining and drinking.

Tucked among olive groves and gently sloping hills near Capalbio, this refined farmhouse-turned-resort is rooted in the rhythms and flavors of the land. At Larossa, the onsite restaurant, just-harvested produce from the kitchen garden forms the base of every dish—housemade pasta, daily baked focaccia, light, modern takes on regional classics—all paired with the estate's own extra virgin olive oil, pressed from over 3,800 trees. Even the desserts and gelato are crafted in-house. Guests can book hands-on cooking classes with the chef or arrange private dinners by the pool, while the Red Bar serves up inventive cocktails and Italian-style tapas in a relaxed, design-forward space.
