The menu is New American— with a focus on using fresh ingredients obtained from local suppliers. While the specific dishes change with the seasons, they typically consist of innovative salads, small plates and entrees.
Some favorites are pan-seared scallops, duck confit tacos, grass-fed burger and halibut; in addition to their cocktail and wine list which proudly features Washington wines and spirits.
The setting is informal but refined: dim lighting against hardwood floors and banquettes sets up an intimate space conducive for good conversations.
The service is highly attentive but not intrusive. Staff know the details of food, wine, and where they come from. Their goal is to personalize your visit.
The locals appreciate the creativity, quality, and sustainability values of the food. It can be a nice place for a date night or any special celebration.
Reservations are suggested since it’s rather compact; although some seats are available at the bar without reservation on a first-come basis if needed.
In essence, Conversation provides an elegant yet unpretentious dining experience that emphasizes conversation, connection to food producers, and a warm atmosphere. It is therefore highly recommended for those residing in Capitol Hill: a place where you can enjoy good company and good food in a relaxed setting.
