Doubling up on decadence.

Grab a friend/partner/loose acquaintance (whatever!) and sip through Julian’s new cocktail list. It’s designed entirely with indulgence in mind.

Available wherever and however you choose to join us, but we recommend taking advantage of this weather and joining us for a trip in Karenina’s carriage, our covered outdoor dining train car.

Don’t have a reservation for Valentine’s Day weekend?!

The Compass Rose bar is here for you. Bar seating will be first come, first served alllllll weekend long.

The Valentine’s Day dinner menu (or a Vegetarian prix-fixe option for our meatless friends) will be available alongside a limited à la carte menu on Friday-Sunday and as the main event for our special Valentine’s Day Monday (2/14) dinner service!

Slide on up to the bar. We’re serving dishes and drinks made with PLENTY of love 🥰

Destination: Malaysia

Sambal Shrimp- Sautéed shrimp, spicy sambal oelek, scallions.

With its origins in Indonesia, sambal oelek is used as a condiment for a range of proteins. The chili paste adds heat without altering the other flavors of the dish 🔥

Discover it tonight! Reservations to join us are available via

Warming up the menu: Glühwein, traditional German mulled wine 🔥

Best enjoyed in our covered outdoor dining train car- Karenina’s Carriage- if we do say so ourselves.

Reservations for heated outdoor +indoor dining are available via

Number of Khachapuri we’ve made over the years:..

Just kidding, we actually have no idea.

We do you know you all really dig it, though. We have way more exactly where this ☝️came from 😍

In love & lotttsssss of khachapuri,

Team

The cocktail shaking form is strong with this one 💪

Julian has dropped a brand new cocktail list inspired by all things DECADENCE. Something we all really deserve after these past few years, right?!?

Stop by the bar for one of his new drinks tonight!

If these walls could talk…

A fact you may not know about Compass Rose? Rose herself called our home on T Street her literal home for a while- living above the restaurant during construction and its early days.

Meaning this place has seen, well… *a lot*. And every inch has soaked in the roller coaster of emotions that is bringing a restaurant to life.

And, now, your stories join the soul of this place. We are back for the week at 5 to continue spinning the tale

Rescuing hungry Washingtonians from the age old “what are you thinking for dinner?!?” debate: our Tour of the World To-Go menu.

The Tour of the World To-Go menu ($80 for two guests, $70 for vegetarian option) offers something for everyone- familiar, comforting dishes you maybe grew up with, next to items you have yet to discover- all from different parts of the globe.

We call it “armchair traveling”- visiting far off places, without ever leaving the comfort of your own home.

Available for carryout by calling the restaurant at (202) 506-4765.

Swipe to peek inside of Karenina’s Carriage, our Trans-Siberian train car doubling as cozy, covered outdoor dining.

What to bring aboard the carriage:

✨ Your favorite coat. The entrances to the carriage are partially open letting the air flow through. After a cocktail in the heated car, you’ll be feeling real warm and fuzzy, though.

✨ Some great travel companions

✨ An appetite, obviously. Our full menu is available inside the train car!

Reservations for outdoor dining are available via or through the link in our bio.

Don’t forget your proof of vaccination! ✨
