My wife and I recently went to Elizabeth's for a weekend dinner to celebrate a significant event, and we had a phenomenal experience. Elizabeth's is a top-notch restaurant that happens to be vegan, and I did not miss dairy or meat in the slightest for this meal. The ambiance of Elizabeth's is a late 19th- or early 20th-century salon, with wrought iron banisters and classical paintings on the wall. We received outstanding service throughout our meal, from our reservation to receiving the check. Our server took the time to explain each dish and asked about any allergies. Allow yourself at least 90-100 minutes to fully appreciate the Elizabeth's multi-course, prix-fixe experience. Elizabeth's changes their menu seasonally and maybe even more often than that; we had their winter menu. Everything we had ranged from solid to truly incredible; the highlights included the appetizer, one of the five best dishes I've had this year. It was a vegan take on bagels, lox, and cream cheese, and the combination was out-of-this-world. Elizabeth's smoked pineapple with the exact texture and taste of lox, including the brine. The amuse trio was also great, especially the jade rice and the picked taro. I would highly recommend Elizabeth's for your next very special occasion! read more

Elizabeth's is a great place for a special occasion dinner. You can really sit back and enjoy the atmosphere and experience as the staff takes care of everything. We went for Valentine's Day and loved our experience. The service is top notch. The hostess, bartenders, and servers are all very friendly and professional. We even get to speak to Elizabeth on the way out. The food is truly unique. The server went over each dish when it came out and you really understand how much thought is put into every element. We definitely tried some new things. Lots of different texture and flavors. The highlights were the small bites appetizer, seaweed bread with the butter candle, and the soup. I think my least favorites were the vegan caviar and the cake served at the dessert. The vegan caviar was a cool concept I just thought the flavor was a bit overwhelming. The dessert was kind of difficult to eat and not sweet. But the ice cream was good. The menu changes several times a year so I would be interested in going again for another social occasion. read more

Let me go ahead and get this out of the way. In my humble opinion, I did not think the music matched the ambiance of this place. Eventually the music was drowned out, but this restaurant is beautiful and classic, so pop/rock/r&b seemed just a smidge off-putting. But not enough to lose a star, I guess. Other than that, this spot was truly exquisite. From the service to the food. I'm not full-on vegan, but this was one of the most unique meals I've ever had. Sure, you're reading what you're getting on the menu, but all the dishes are very unexpected from what they look like to what they taste like. Every dish came with an explanation by our waiter, which was even more helpful. Love that they have non alcoholic options! I wish we had gotten the cheese board; it looked so good going by. It's a pretty penny this spot, but well worth something different. read more

What a place! I've been vegan for much too long to not have visited this place until just last night. But, it was well worth the wait. Except, I don't want to wait this long to frequent the place again. I had a friend visiting from NYC who is plant forward and told her I wanted to try this spot and have been for awhile. I invited my two good friends in DC to join and we had a beautiful 3.5 hour dinner with a 9 course tasting menu. It was beautiful. From beginning to end, we were greeted with warmth from the staff. Hector, our server, explained every dish in wonderful detail. Each course was unique, full of flavor, colors and texture. We really couldn't be more happy with the experience and we even had a chef at our table who enjoyed every single bite. This was such a nice treat on a Friday night with good girlfriends over conversation! And might I add, THE Elizabeth is an absolutely kind soul as well and we were so happy to meet and chat with her, too. read more

I stupidly went here the day before departing for a cruise which basically ruined my dining experience for the next week. All jokes aside, this was an inventive, and more important, fantastic meal. I've been to several acclaimed high-end vegan establishments and this one hangs with the best of them. The meal took a little over 2 hours. Every dish was explained, presented nicely and there was just a wonderful array of textures, temperatures, tastes and smells. Most dishes were plated distinctly as well which was a nice touch. I also had the best mocktail I've ever tried. Actually worth the price in my opinion. The interior and exterior of the building is elegant. Service is excellent. I consider the whole experience to be very thoughtful. On the only neutral note, I will say I'm not one to dress up and even wearing a collared shirt I still felt a bit dressed down. I was also not a huge fan of the current entree dish which is a large mushroom ravioli. I didn't take a picture of it either as it doesn't present the best. It was good though. All in all I'm definitely interested in returning when there's a fresh menu! read more

The historic gas lamp flickering light along the way up the beautiful stairs & entering through the solid oak door into another world must be how it felt to go through the wardrobe into Narnia! It's as if you enter into an old master painting & become part of the scene. The romantic ambiance envelops you with the soft lighting making the onyx bar shimmer & the dark wood tones warm the intimate space drawing you in. The rarity of such an exquisite dining experience makes this date night an exceptionally memorable one. Seated at a linen clothed table & napkins along with spotless sparkling glasses vintage cuts, real candle light, & French silver cutlery laid out in perfect form & comfortable chairs in a room with soft peachy overtones that makes everyone look good, a chandelier, old master paintings on the wall felt like you are in an elegant timeless private salon. We felt so well cared for & treated there by everyone. The service was exceptional. The attention to detail & engagement of the senses outstanding & heightened the overall experience. The culinary performance was worthy of Michelin stars. It exceeded all expectations in presentation, flavors & tastes, seasonal creativity & pairings & textures. The food engaged all the senses & was paced at a leisurely rate to thoroughly enjoy & savor every single bite or sip of the non-alcoholic pairings. We heard about Elizabeth's from the International Conference on Nutrition in Medicine where top global nutrition experts Dr Neal Barnard, Dr Michael Greger, Dr Kristi Funk, among others herald the power of plant based eating to prevent & reverse disease optimizing health, wellbeing & longevity with every antioxidant bite of food. Transforming to a plant based lifestyle for our health, the sanctity of animals & the planet is a valued choice that becomes rewardingly affirming with exceptional restaurants like Elizabeth's that offer such a remarkable & tantilizing experience. Thank you so very much to everyone at Elizabeth's. Elizabeth's is a truly exceptional place & I highly recommend it to everyone. read more

My wife and I discovered Elizabeth a few years ago, and it immediately became one of our favorite restaurants anywhere. Walking upstairs into the dining room feels like entering a completely different world. It's intimate, calm, and the service is on another level without ever feeling stiff or formal. The food is creative, beautiful, and incredibly delicious. Every course feels thoughtful and surprising in the best way. We've traveled extensively and eaten at many high-end restaurants around the world, and Elizabeth honestly stands with the very best of them. What makes it even more amazing is that it's vegan, and we're not. Yet we choose to come here for our biggest celebrations every year: my wife's birthday, Valentine's Day, and New Year's and just a special night out in DC, even though it's over an hour drive from our house. It's that special. The wine pairings are fantastic and introduce you to unique wines from all over that complement the food perfectly. And don't miss the vegan cheese course and the vegan caviar -- both are memorable and unlike anything else. Elizabeth isn't just dinner, it's an experience. Every time we leave, we're already looking forward to coming back read more

One the best vegan dining experience you can have. The food, atmosphere and staff is as close to perfect as you can get.

Elizabeth's reminds me of an ever changing art gallery, that features a different artist weekly. I am not vegan, but my friend who has invited me a few times, is, and goes there on a regular basis. She loves sharing this gem with her friends! I was blown away by the edible creations, really too pretty to eat, but once I did, experienced tastes and textures totally new. The sommeliers and servers are knowledgeable, warm, and poetically share how the delicacy before you was created and/or infused with plants, fruits or food items I have never heard of before. For a non-vegan it is quite an education. The food is brought to your table in total rhythm; if music could be something to see, that is what if felt like. I am also totally unfamiliar with wines and pairings, so the descriptions of the wines, where they were from, the age, notes and what they were to bring out in the food was a mini-trip around the world for me. As good as the food and atmosphere is, nothing compares to Elizabeth and her associates. They are genuinely happy to see you, take their time with you and pleasantly answer any questions you may have. It's like visiting your favorite relatives in the country that are so happy to see you and can't do enough to make you feel special. Bravo to this amazing restaurant that while totally sophisticated and classy, gives you a sense of comfort and wonder. read more

I had the best time at Elizabeth's! It is always such a treat to come in and see what's new but the new happy hour truly blew me away. Jared is always so happy to answer any questions I have about the menu and drinks and Spencer made me feel very welcome. I will absolutely be coming back and this is a must-try for any DC local or traveling vegan! Thank you Elizabeth's! read more

One time deal for me. I was super excited to come and experience a fully vegan pre fixed dinner. I had seen nice pics and read good reviews but I was let down. I had made a reservation for 6PM. Went it and saw we were probably just the second table of the time and yet for a couple we were pushed all the way to the side in the most awkward table I had seen. There was a pillar wall next to me and that made the mood unappealing for the price we had paid for. I expected to get a good table location if not one of the best they had for being their second table. Rest of the dinning room was great with soothing low light and art accentuated wall. The food was completely hit and miss. Some of the parts of a dishes were great but most led me hanging, asking would I ever come back here again? My answer was definitely not. read more

For a vegan tasting menu, this has exceeded my expectations. What an experience! The ambiance was very cozy and romantic, the staff was attentive, and my partner and I spent 3 hours doing the tasting menu+wine pairing, which flew by with good conversation and food. I have included pictures of of some of the dishes, but we turned the menu upside down to keep the excitement high when the staff explained what our meals would be. I HIGHLY recommend avoiding the photos and letting yourself fully experience the surprises! We started off with the optional cheese plate, since we rarely get opportunities to order vegan cheese plates. The middle cheese was our least favorite, but the other two cheeses and peach jam were delicious and tasted very fresh. We did not regret getting it! Some of my favorites were the Roasted Cauliflower Soup (unique flavor) and Charred Avocado Mezzaluna (rich umami/meaty flavor). We also appreciated that they brought out a crispy appetizer that was not on the menu to hold us over before starting the tasting menu. The wine pairing is what made us feel as though we were truly experiencing fine dining. The sommelier brought out a different drinks before each food item (sakes, wines, beers, etc.), explained the different notes within it that should be tasted with each bite. He also took us through a picturesque journey in the snow with each drink, which was a fun little addition. If it were up to me, I would have included a few more reds, but I am obviously biased. The melon beer was definitely the best drink - trust me! Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would recommend it to anyone who was celebrating a special event. However, make sure you reserve in advance - they fill up quickly and we finally got lucky finding two seats! read more

I recommend getting the beverage pairing with the meal. It really brings out the flavors and heightens the experience. read more

My boyfriend surprised me with reservations here in July, and this place makes you feel like a VIP for sure. Walked on, pleasantly greeted by the hostess, we decided to have one pree dinner drink at the bar, which they politely carried to our table on a tray so.we could finish at dinner. The food and presentation were A1! They were do coordinated with placing plates on the table, and just the whole routine. The food is damn good...we are both plant eaters, and food lovers for sure, these meals had quality flavor...there were times where we had to tell ourselves (and each other) to slow down but it was just good! And we left full! I know these pics aren't the greatest, but tbh, this is such an experience, that you just don't want to be bothered with your phone. The staf are personable (they call you by your name and welcome you as if the tablecloth was brought just for you). I highly recommend a visit. read more

Everything about Elizabeth's is amazing! The atmosphere is inviting and comfortable, upscale ambiance in a townhome vibe. The service is impeccable! Staff is attentive and knowledgeable, and we got to meet the chef- so inspiring! The food... so delicious! Served in tantalizing fashion... nice dishes, elegant presentation, and best of all, unmatched flavor. I was so impressed by their upscale interpretations of vegan fare. The changing seasonal menus keep me coming back time after time, and bringing new friends, who all rave about it. Elizabeth's on repeat, 100%! read more

I have been to Elizabeth's a few times and consider it not just dinner but an experience. From the professional yet friendly staff, the beautiful venue to exceptionally creative flavor and texture combinations artfully displayed. The menu often changes so it is always a new adventure that I love to explore whenever I visit DC. If you have the opportunity, you don't want to miss it! read more

The first thing that caught my eye was the visual experience we get when the food gets served. I was absolutely stunned by the innovation they got onto the plates. Putting all the visual aspect aside and coming to the taste, I felt like the ingredients used for all the dishes except for the caviar were pretty basic and did not hit the right spot. For a vegan/vegetarian it would be a shame to not use different vegetables in each dish but they used the same three ingredients like seaweed, mushrooms and turnips. Most of the dishes tasted similar and bland. The palette cleansing gelato and the ice cream were not even worth mentioning. One other important criteria for not being a top rated restaurant is because of the price point. It was a total of 400+ dollars for 2 person meal plus an additional 20% tip included for the food that was served. This really got the whole experience down for Elizabeth gone raw! A rotational menu can have a lot of advantages but they should make sure that each menu has a wide range of vegetables selection when they call themselves vegan. It would give a wholesome experience to the customer read more

Well, this place was a really good vegan restaurant. The sommelier was excellent.The service was quite good. But it was a bit pretentious. Perhaps it was because it wasn't that used to the food served at room temperature. I had to look up the definition of a raw vegan to fully appreciate this restaurant. The food was good, and the wine pairing was excellent. And even though I like not eating meat. It was a bit too much for me. read more

This is a very nice restaurant, a lovely dining experience, I'm not a vegan but the food was delicious and you don't need to be vegan to enjoy the experience.

I highly recommend this place, it's perfect for a date night or any special occasion. My favorite plate was the caviar! Elizabeth you know what you're doing girl! read more

We were greated by Elizabeth, the lovely proprietress, who engaged with us about veganism as she mopped up snow drips from the floor while apologizing. The food was complex, the dining room serene, the server --Spencer-- knowledge, considerate, and accommodating. My favorites from the tasting menu were the faux lox --I don't like real lox and this was a spicy treat--and the squash soup. They make delightful cocktails. I had dandelion tea for the first time that tastes like coffee (and no caffeine!) and had a surprisingly decadent and refreshing pistachio cream. The menu changes every 2 1/2 months. The food is so rich and complicated that I can't see going back more often than that anyway. I was celebrating a book deal, and it was the perfect place to do that. Thanks to all! read more

I went to Elizabeth's the other day for happy hour and I was blown away. The food was absolutely delicious. The caviar was amazing but I am obsessed with the sliders. The bartender, Jared, answered all of our questions and made amazing martinis! Spencer also made us feel very welcome.y friends and I had a great time and I look forward to the next visit. read more

Had a nice meal at Elizabeth's, it's been on my list for a long time but finally stopped in. Nice, romantic interior, a bit dark (multiple tables used their phone lights to read the menu). Great music. Elizabeth is a wonderful host. The meal was 6 courses long + bread service, three of which were the amuse bouche, soup, and a palate cleanser between appetizer and entree. We added on the vegan caviar - a fun experience and reasonably priced at $45, it did feel similar to real caviar (closer in texture to salmon roe but more salinity like sturgeon) and they go all out with accoutrements. Some courses were good, others average. There were a lot of components on each dish which I thought detracted from them overall, where I would've preferred more focus and pronounced flavors. We left stuffed so no shortage of food here. Service was decent, no real complaints other than the course timing felt slow and our meal was 3 hours long when it didn't have to be. Captains explained every course with a ton of detail. This is an awesome place for vegans, I'd definitely return if hosting vegans/vegetarians looking for a nice fine dining option. It's impressive what they do with their "cream" based sauces and ingredients - all of the cheeses/sauces/etc were the highlights of the meal for me. But as an omnivore at this price point, there are other tasting menus around town that I think nail the execution and service a bit better. read more

THANK YOU YELPERS! I typed in "fine dining" on Yelp and Elizabeths Gone Raw popped up. I am so happy I found this place and that we were in DC on a Friday/Saturday (only days they are open). This was the best meal we had in our 4 weeks of traveling the East Coast (and we did eat at a few Michelin Star restaurants)! We were running a few minutes late, called ahead and they were really cool about not rushing us or giving up our spot. We were greeted warmly and had an amazing cocktail at the bar downstairs before being seated. The bar is super cool. You can stop in just for a drink, if you are in the neighborhood. Creative really delicious cocktail menu, using ingredients you don't usually see in a bar. They offer a 6 course tasting menu for 85$, which is incredibly reasonable. And each dish was incredible. They used a wide variety of high quality fresh ingredients to create amazing flavor combinations. Each dish was different and so delicious. And yes, everything is plant based, no meat, no dairy. The best part, I was able to eat really good food without guilt! During our travels, I did not make the best food choices, but Elizabeths was healthy, while being insanely delicious. I left feeling very full but not heavy or polluted. Why are there not more restaurants like this!? The space itself is beautiful. Bar downstairs, restaurant up. Definitely a special occasion vibe, elegant, with art and soft lighting on the walls. We were so fortunate they had openings, I booked it a few days before and the cool thing, Elizabeth actually called me the day before to confirm. She also visited our table to see how things were. The service was impeccable. Everything came out perfectly plated and timed AND so delicious. I did not want the experience to end! Vegan or not, this place is a must try in DC! read more

This is an experience. Having eaten in many metropolitan cities in the US and abroad, I have to say, without a doubt Elizabeth's gone raw is one of the most unique one-of-a-kind places. It not only makes food for vegans, it celebrates the food that it makes for vegans. With vegan and vegetarian family members, it's really nice to see a place that actually embraces this rather than completely avoids it like other restaurants. One should also mention that it's in one of the most beautiful townhouses in DC and so the ambience and vibe around you is very classic and you feel classy while you're there. The cocktails are delicious and really well thought out. I had a martini with dairy free, blue cheese, stuffed olives, and I thought that was innovative. We also get the caviar and cheese service every time, which is obviously all dairy free and plant-based. And from an innovation and taste perspective, it's again one of a kind and it blows you away. The food there is also amazing. Sometimes they go a little bit more experimental, and they do things like fake shrimp made out of Taro root and sometimes they're more traditional, and they just celebrate vegetables in their whole form. It's always a tasting menu, so just be prepared for that because you can't just order whatever you want. As mentioned before, this restaurant is an experience and if you want a vegan experience, you should come here. If you're going to complain about veganism, or price point or anything like that - go somewhere else. read more

The environment couldn't be warmer in this three-story converted brownstone with the restaurant taking up the first two floors and I'm assuming the owners quarters are on the third floor. We were greeted by Elizabeth who introduced us to our table and server. The food at this vegan restaurant is exquisite, and the menu is exceptionally well designed. Each course built up and created an excitement for what I expected to be the final main course which was described on the menu as a red wine, braised trumpet mushroom dish with sauce and a compliments. I was so looking forward to seeing Mushrooms hole in pieces in my plate and was so disappointed when what arrived was a mushroom ravioli or the parlance of Elizabeth's a raviola. How disappointing to bite into the average pasta and stuffing that certainly did not reflect the beauty of the cooking in the other courses that we had. So the finale was very very disappointing. And then the bill came, which was exceedingly expensive. Had it not been for that Exorbitant cost I might've considered going back. All in all big errors. read more

Wow! This was quite a dining experience. I was not sure what to expect before going to this restaurant but I'm glad I had no expectations. I highly recommend getting the vegan cheese course & caviar in addition to the regular tasting course. We also had the wine pairing which was lovely! The sommelier Justin was very informative and had great pairings. Ben, our waiter, was AMAZING. One of the best waiters I've ever had and he passionately described every meal and chatted with us about the different ingredients. In total we were at the restaurant for four hours which was definitely longer than I wanted to be there. I think there was a slow down in the kitchen because the plates started coming out much slower. Also, I was impressed that most of the dishes are gluten free. Unfortunately the alternative options, such as the final dish, the dessert, was very tough and I didn't eat it. All in all this is a very unique experience and if you're looking for something creative, new, and to expand your comfort zone then this is the spot! read more

There isn't really anywhere in America quite like Elizabeth's Gone Raw. I've been to my fair share of nice restaurants but to find somewhere that is exclusively vegan/vegetarian friendly is just delightful. I travelled back from California to DC to dine at Elizabeth's for my Birthday and it was completely worth it. I love the old-school imperial style atmosphere mixed with contemporary touches. "Tuna Tartare" An awesome start to the meal and my second favorite. The avocado horseradish was "melt in your mouth" like. Wild Spring Onion Flower Soup Certainly a "green" dish if ever there was. Distinct fresh flavors from the snow pea leaves and a nice consistency thanks to the cashew crème fraîche. Parmesan Ravioli My favorite dish of the night. The ravioli pillows were lightly seared making them ever so slightly crispy. The sauce/broth was delightful. I would have loved another piece of ravioli. Kale chips When I visit this restaurant, one serving is never enough. These kale chips are sensational and it's incredible to believe they are vegan. Celery and Green Apple Ice Served with a probiotic vodka cocktail if you do the wine pairing, this was refreshing and simple -- nothing outstanding and the little drink wasn't super delicious but still refreshing. Porcine and Morel Mushroom with Roasted Espuma de Papa The best way to describe this would be like a little edible garden planter with the most delicious morel mushrooms inside. The micro flowers gave it a beautiful touch but the dish is certainly overpowered by the accompanying broth. Rhubarb Ginger Ice Cream Absolutely delicious, refreshing and carefully textured. That is assuming you'll be able to eat this course after all the others ;). The wine pairing is literally a match made in heaven, there was a light red that I wasn't a fan of but every other drink was delightful. The sommelier is so friendly and helpful, she's a true asset to the restaurant. Also, the staff brought some gratis drinks out for my birthday which was very kind. I love this restaurant so much which is why I come back year after year. Give it a try! read more

If you're vegan or looking for a fine dinning vegan experience, please come to Elizabeth's Gone Raw. Idk how they aren't on the Michelin guide or have a star! I've been wanting to come here for a while and have recently become vegetarian. As soon as, I saw they had dinner plans for Valentine's Day, I hopped on Open Table and made a reservation (2 weeks in advance ya'll). There was a prefix 6 course menu ($85 per person) that all guest had to have. In addition there was an a la cart option of caviar and cheese plate (each $40) . On top of that, my boyfriend and I decided to splurge and get the wine pairing too ($40 per person). So we basically got all the things and started us off with vegan caviar. Like wut? What does that even taste like? Well it was AMAZING and if they ever had a happy hour with this, I would totally get it again. Honestly, I think it was better than "regular" caviar which is hella salty. I'll add the menu photo below, honestly it was a total experience and you can't go wrong with anything. I do want to mention the oddest thing for me personally was the sauerkraut and celery sorbet but it wasn't that bad lol. Also, the wine pairing was good BUT I think it could of been better in which is truly was paired to go with a specific dish. There were a lot of international wine but it would of been great to see some regional wines as well. Also, the cheese plate! You could have these either before the meal or before dessert. What a presentation! Honestly, vegan cheese is....interesting to say the least but this was so flavorful! Also, I honestly never liked Brie cheese but this vegan brie cheese was BOMB. To sum this review up, come and have a true food adventure and be amazed! read more

I visit Washington DC a few times each year and dining at Elizabeth's is one of the highlights of my trip. It never disappoints. Elizabeth's Gone Raw is a woman owned and run business that was started as part of Elizabeth's journey to healthful and joyful living following a serious medical challenge. It is truly an oasis and provides a respite from the stresses of everyday life. We started with the vegan "caviar" which is both delicious and surprisingly similar to actual caviar. The very knowledgeable servers will explain the molecular gastronomy behind the "caviar" creation but I prefer to think it's just the magic that happens in the kitchen. In addition to the "caviar" there were six courses, all artfully plated; I enjoyed all of them immensely. My favorite though was probably the main entree which was simply bursting with flavor. I believe that some of the ingredients at Elizabeth's have been dehydrated and perhaps that is part of the reason that everything is so flavorful. We did try the wine pairing and I would highly recommend doing so. The sommelier, I believe his name is Michael, is so knowledgeable and his presence and wine selections enhance the overall experience. We had such a wonderful time that we stopped in the next evening for a drink and some kale chips ( the best I have ever had) before our dinner reservations at another of my favorite DC restaurants. Simply a wonderful gastronomical experience in a beautiful peaceful setting. read more

Elizabeth's - Black garlic pasta, roasted artichoke, black truffle - Vegan Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I've been to Elizabeth's last year, and also ordered takeout since the pandemic hit. Both experiences were phenomenal. It's tough to overstate how incredible the food is--the dishes are creative and unusual, but they still end up being really yummy. For a special occasion, it's well worth the money. I also recommend the cocktails, they're pricey but fantastic! In person, it's an impeccable fine dining experience. Fancy atmosphere and attentive service. The restaurant is located in a cute old townhouse-style building that really stands out among all the steel and glass downtown. For takeout, the food isn't exactly ready-made--you do the final preparation step on most of the dishes (like heating up the soup or pan-frying the gnocchi). It might seem surprising or annoying but it really does the food justice. A really fun date night treat and a worthy break from all this cooking we're doing in quarantine. This is absolutely my go-to spot for an anniversary celebration, special birthday dinner, or meal to impress someone visiting DC. read more

The fixed price is extremely reasonable for the entire experience. I look forward to dining at Elizabeth's again very soon! So inspiring! read more

Elizabeth's is a wonderful dining experience that never fails to impress. I try to dine here whenever I am in DC and it is always one of the highlights of the trip. It is a vegan restaurant but one doesn't have to be vegan to enjoy the meal. It's not often that one can experience perfection but Elizabeth's with its dedication to quality, creativity and suburb service comes as close as one can get to this ideal. Prepare to spend the evening and if you like wine ( who doesn't?) then do try the wine pairing; it's an experience not to be missed. read more
