*2023 WINE SPECTATOR AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

Taking inspiration from the landmark Alhambra Palace and Fortress in southern Spain, one of the most famous monuments of Islamic and Spanish Renaissance architecture, our new menu exemplifies the blending of cultures and cuisines across the region.

Showcasing their rich bounty of produce and fish in a modern and convivial setting, Chef Brian Bladfält Landry presents a seasonally inspired menu enhanced with the bold flavors across a variety of the region’s cultures. With distinct menus offered across brunch, lunch and dinner, the dining concept focuses on four sections of small plated dishes – sea, land, garden and table – all meant to be shared.

Alhambra is located on the lobby-level of The St. Regis Washington, D.C. at 923 Black Lives Matter Plaza NW in the heart of downtown D.C. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast and lunch, as well as dinner from Monday through Saturday and brunch on weekends.

Yzaer served my girlfriend and I this evening for a late Valentine’s dinner and was truly truly wonderful, so considerate and helpful. Amazing service. Our food (the mushrooms, prawns, and aleppo chicken) was also truly outstanding and highly recommended all of it, the mushrooms in particular. Absolutely would recommend to anyone for a wonderful date night.

We went for restaurant week, everything was phenomenal. Like, everything. From the hummus and pita to the dessert. Service was attentive and thorough. The only con was a cocktail menu that ranged from about $26-36ish. Ours were $32 and $33. That’s a little outrageous, even for DC.
