The Oak Room | High-End American Grill in Washington, DC
Welcome to The Oak Room
The Oak Room is a high-end American grill in the heart of historic Georgetown from Ten Five Hospitality and Chef Tim Hollingsworth, formerly of the French Laundry. The room draws from the private clubs of Gilded Age New York and London — brick vaulted ceilings, oak-paneled walls, tufted leather, candlelight. A raw bar, bone marrow, French onion soup, Dover sole in brown butter, roasted chicken with vin jaune, and prime rib at the center of the table. Through the back, The Garden — Oak Room's hidden wine bar, drawn from the walled gardens of the English countryside. Overgrown, candlelit, open to the sky. Rosé and spritzes from late spring through October. Nightly, by reservation.
