*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.

    Amazing food and ambiance. The cocktails are a bit overpriced so you might wanna go somewhere else beforehand! Great service !

    It was a dismal experience. After being seated, it took about 20 minutes for our waiter to come to us. Appetizer and entrees were served together, and the chicken entree was overcooked and dry. After finishing and having our plates picked up, it took another 20 minutes to get the attention of the waiter to ask for the check. When the check arrived, we were overcharged a dish which was listed as $18 on the menu but was charged as $25 on the bill. He didn’t seem to be bothered and just chalked it up to “account department made a mistake”. I feel that this restaurant benefits from the prestige of the hotel it’s located in, but quality and service leaves much to be desired. Will take my patronage elsewhere.

    Loved the Creme Brulee french toast. The booth had a chandelier and was really upscale. The spicy bloody Mary did not disappoint. We really enjoyed brunch.

    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.
