Perched in Washington DC’s Glover Park neighborhood, a truly unique fine dining experience awaits guests at Xiquet by Danny Lledó. An intimate restaurant space allows our team to focus on each individual from the beginning of the meal until the end, providing thoughtful recommendations and pairings along the way. Our ambiance provides the perfect backdrop for a memorable date night or an important client dinner.

Your experience begins at our Chef’s Counter, where you’ll be greeted with a welcome bite and a sip of vermouth while you receive a brief overview of our wood-fired kitchen from the chefs. When you’re ready, you’ll move into our dramatic top floor dining room where large skylights create airy atmosphere that is sun-drenched by day and dim and cozy at night. Contrasting neutrals throughout the space keep the ambiance vibrant and open, while subtle textures, geometric patterns and gold accents add a layer of visual interest. The main dining room is elegant and understated, with a focus on the preparation of the food and the connection that each meal brings to the guests. The open kitchen allows guests to view the cooking techniques of the world-class culinary team.

After your experience concludes upstairs, you’ll be guided down to our mezzanine lounge to enjoy after-dinner drinks and sweet treats from the chef. Lush textures and warm leather imbue the space with comfort and luxury that encourages lingering. Additional design elements include a panoramic window overlooking the lower level and a dramatic library of spirits to browse.

Looking for an unforgettable private dining space? We are pleased to accommodate up to 20 guests for a seated private dining experience in The Cellar or in our upstairs dining room. Contact us for more information on private events.

We look forward to welcoming you to Xiquet!
