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. The menu is built around the best versions of the dishes you already love — seafood towers, prime rib, brown butter Dover sole, ice cream sundaes. Through the back, The Garden — The 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 with weekend brunch.
EXECUTIVE CHEF
TIM HOLLINGSWORTH
Chef Timothy Hollingsworth is an award-winning American chef whose work reflects a balance of fine-dining precision and approachable cooking informed by global influences and techniques. A former Chef de Cuisine of Thomas Keller’s The French Laundry, Hollingsworth earned the James Beard Foundation Award for Rising Star Chef and went on to represent the United States at the prestigious Bocuse d’Or competition.
His partnerships have included concepts such as Otium, Hundredfold, and CHAIN, each showcasing an expansive culinary style rooted in American flavors, seasonal ingredients, a deep appreciation for wood-fire cooking, and a sense of nostalgia. Hollingsworth has also appeared across national and international media; in 2018, he gained global recognition after winning Netflix’s The Final Table. He has since served as a judge on The Great American Recipe and was a winning contender on Beat Bobby Flay.
