WE ARE THE SPOTTED ZEBRA
Many ask about our name, well it is whimsical, and one might say esoteric, and derives from a misquote by a prominent former US Senator from Tennessee, who confidently proclaimed, "A zebra does not change its spots". In this new DC hot-SPOT, we shine a tongue-in-cheek SPOT-light on the contradictory, and often irreverent and humorous words from politics. They are weaved into the names of dishes and cocktails and found on the top of tables, the bar, and people's minds.

    This is a high-end cafeteria type restaurant inside of a hotel. The prices were VERY high for the quality and ambiance. The restaurant was empty while we were there for lunch and the servers got 2 of the 4 items we ordered quite wrong, although the manager worked hard to get the order corrected and amounts refunded/credited.

    Pretty packed for the night and they struggled to keep up service, but food was pretty good and the bar was solid. They also did not have my reservation in the system

    It is inside a Mariott hotel. So a slightly upscale place but very good food.

    Was trying to find as closest as possible place to National Theatre. This place is new and it was not as obviously visible from the street but otherwise we enjoyed it. The brisket sandwich was delicious. Our service was fast and attentive by Andrew.

    This is a counter service restaurant with full bar inside the Marriott Hotel. The service was great but it wasn’t what I was expecting from the Yelp search and photos. It is connected to the lobby so very much feels like a hotel experience and not a dining one.

    We were greeted but never served, the place was completely empty…to be fair I don’t think this place is actually open. I hope when they get it together and actually open I can go back and taste the food?!?!
