Whether you opt to sit down in the spacious dining room or cozy up around the fire pit on the patio, a meal at The Tillery promises to be a memorable event. Its stylish, upscale atmosphere and artfully executed New American fare work together to create a culinary experience you won’t soon forget. The restaurant opened recently inside of the Marriott Metro Center and is already drawing some rave reviews from customers. They appreciate the stylish and well-spaced dining room, as well as the menu of seasonally inspired (and often locally sourced) cuisine. Start with some small plates and drinks, like the local fresh oysters and fresh hummus trio with a Capital Negroni or a Cider Mule. Then dig into the signature burger loaded with lettuce, tomato, and red onion for a larger entree, like the Maryland jumbo lump crab cakes. Prefer turf to surf? The USDA Prime ribeye with peppercorn sauce, honey-thyme roasted carrots, and potato puree is bound to tantalize your taste buds. Then for dessert, indulge in a slice of cheesecake topped with white chocolate sauce and roasted strawberries or carrot cake smothered with fall-spiced cream and flecked with puffed golden raisins.
