*2023 WINE SPECTATOR AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

Taking inspiration from the landmark Alhambra Palace and Fortress in southern Spain, one of the most famous monuments of Islamic and Spanish Renaissance architecture, our new menu exemplifies the blending of cultures and cuisines across the region.

Showcasing their rich bounty of produce and fish in a modern and convivial setting, Chef Brian Bladfält Landry presents a seasonally inspired menu enhanced with the bold flavors across a variety of the region’s cultures. With distinct menus offered across brunch, lunch and dinner, the dining concept focuses on four sections of small plated dishes – sea, land, garden and table – all meant to be shared.

Alhambra is located on the lobby-level of The St. Regis Washington, D.C. at 923 Black Lives Matter Plaza NW in the heart of downtown D.C. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast and lunch, as well as dinner from Monday through Saturday and brunch on weekends.

    Nice dining room and attentive service but expected due to being at a St. Regis property. Food is seasoned well and flavorful but does not exceed expectations.

    Delicious food and excellent service- highly recommend! It’s a festive time of year so the atmosphere was moderately loud. The restrooms are quite far away and don’t seem easily accessible if you have physical restrictions. That is a minor inconvenience compared to the overall experience but something to take into consideration if needed.

    Our server was very courteous and attentive. The food taste, presentation and quantity were delightful. The restaurant staff was very kind to provide a beautiful and delicious desert as it was my wife’s birthday. We highly recommend Alhambra.
