American Pie at the Park Hyatt Washington, DC

Where: 24 & M Streets, NW [map], Washington, DC, dc, United States, 20037

Now that Conde Nast Traveler has tapped the Blue Duck Tavern for its annual hot list, we should probably fill you in on the restaurant in the Park Hyatt Washington, DC.

The focus of the room is on the open kitchen with its wood-burning oven. Executive chef Brian McBride puts it to good use, cooking up comfort food-ish cuisine that celebrates American farmers. (It is the capital after all.)

As for the menu, Conde Nast loved the duck au jus and the beet salad with goat cheese. We'd be a little more apt to tuck in to the braised lamb shank with a side of fava beans and morel mushrooms. But we all agree nothing's more American than the apple pie.
