Little Blackbird
Day 1: 5-Course Old World Inspired Tasting Series
Opened precisely one year ago, this gem is the latest in the restaurant empire of Rammy Award-Winning restaurateur Ashok Bajaj—he of Bombay Club, Rashika, and Sababa. Little Blackbird, which puts a modern twist on centuries-old techniques for good dishes and dram, hopped right onto Resy's "Hit List" upon opening and drummed up buzz from the likes of Eater and Washingtonian. Executive Chef Ryan Moore, who cut his teeth at 2-Michelin-Starred minibar (under James Beard Award-Winning Chef José Andrés), is now using his considerable culinary chops to turn out such delectable "old world" fare as ratatouille, hearth roasted bronzino, coq au vin blanc, and ricotta gnudi. Best save room, too, for one of the luscious desserts, like single malt butterscotch pudding or peach melba. It all adds up to a special night out, so we look forward to seeing you there and discovering Little Blackbird together!
