Since 1906, The Occidental has welcomed world leaders and Beltway locals alike for classic fare and an insider's perspective. With a nod to its remarkable history and ceremonious pomp, we're bringing back this fine American dining experience. Step into a glamorous, bygone era where dapper captains in crisp white tuxedos cater to every whim. In reverence to the predecessor’s mid-century dishes, the menu features raw bar specialties, caviar service, prime rib, and bananas foster flambéed tableside. A wine list of rare vintages from iconic producers complements a nostalgic cocktail program serving the coldest martinis in the city.

We opened Osteria Mozza DC and The Occidental just months apart- two distinct restaurants brought to life by teams full of talent, care, and drive. Seeing them both featured in this year's Washington Post Spring Dining Guide is an honor. A tremendous thanks to everyone who makes these places feel so special, day after day.✨
