A very interesting DC restaurant. All round an excellent meal. A little on the pricey side, so be prepared.
The scallops were very good, as was the branzino. Very well cooked and presented very well. The short rib was also excellent.
On desert the Tiramisu desert was recommended, it was good but not great.
In summary an excellent place to have a great meal.

“Alhambra is a visual masterpiece tucked inside the St. Regis. From the stunning red salon to the historic architectural details, the lighting and design are a dream for anyone who appreciates a beautiful setting of the hotel but the restaurant has a some modern chairs seating. The Mediterranean-inspired menu is just as artfully presented—the seasonal flavors are fresh, bold, and perfectly executed. It’s the ideal spot for a sophisticated meal in the heart of DC when you want the atmosphere to be as memorable as the food, lamb n chicken are halal (plz do confirm before ordering)

We went on a weekday and enjoyed a drink in the lounge before dinner. It was a very quiet and peaceful dinner. Yaser was our server and he was very kind and welcoming. We ordered all appetizers and they were amazing. I highly recommend the wild mushroom hummus and the crab cakes. They bread that comes out with fig and date butter was so delicious! We didn’t get an itemized bill which would have been nice to see.

Had a very good meal previously, and we indulged in some orange wine, not for us, but was fun to try. The star and excellent dish of the night was the lamb.

Stepping into the St. Regis Washington, D.C., and its exquisite Alhambra restaurant, is truly like entering a realm where Gilded Age grandeur meets contemporary luxury, creating an unforgettable atmosphere perfect for a romantic birthday treat.
A Glimpse into History and Timeless Decor
Originally opened in 1926 as the Carlton Hotel, designed by Mihran Mesrobian in the elegant Beaux-Arts and Neo-Renaissance styles, The St. Regis Washington, D.C. has a storied past. It has famously hosted numerous U.S. presidents, royalty, prime ministers, and iconic celebrities, solidifying its status as a landmark of sophistication. Renamed The St. Regis in 1999, the hotel has consistently maintained its commitment to unparalleled luxury. The recent renovations in April 2024 have seamlessly blended its historic charm with a fresh, modern aesthetic, featuring a palette of clean cream, blues, soft grays, and rich gold tones, evident in the carpets, plush furnishings, and finishes.
The hotel’s design ethos is immediately apparent from the moment you step into the magnificent grand lobby. The soaring 16-foot ceilings, adorned with ornate Florentine gold coffered ceilings and dramatic two-tiered crystal chandeliers, evoke a sense of timeless opulence. Plush velvet armchairs invite you to linger, and the well-kept washrooms, with their attractive tiled walk-in showers and thick paper towellettes, speak volumes about the hotel’s attention to detail and guest comfort. The elegant chairs throughout the hotel, coupled with intriguing elements like Gucci gear thoughtfully displayed in antique wooden showcases, add unique touches to the sophisticated ambiance.
Alhambra: A Culinary and Romantic Oasis
Alhambra, the hotel’s modern Mediterranean restaurant, is consistently lauded in online reviews for its impeccable service, delicious dishes, and sophisticated, quiet ambiance – truly ideal for celebrations and intimate evenings and as experienced first hand, the personal semi-circle booths, cloistered behind plush drapery, indeed offer a wonderfully romantic and private dining setting.
The dinner was a testament to the culinary artistry at Alhambra. The scrumptious Hummus and Pita, with its fluffy, za’atar-infused bread, hummus elevated by extra virgin olive oil, pine nuts, sumac, and unique accompaniments like date butter, shakshouka, and feta in sauce, were absolutely delightful. The Mom’s Borek, shaped like a cupcake and served with apricot jam and a refreshing watercress onion salad, showcases an innovative and refined approach to traditional dishes.
The main courses were equally impressive. The butterflied Branzino, beautifully presented with its head and tail intact alongside radish and watercress, echoes the praise found in online reviews for the chef’s masterful preparation of this dish, highlighting its brilliant simplicity. The Aleppo chicken, with its dramatic presentation on a platter of dried red chillies, smoky dome, and carving by the chef onto peri peri sauce, a true theatrical and flavorful experience. The skinny to perfection second-take Mojitos were undoubtedly the perfect complement to such a memorable meal.
To top off the evening, the complimentary pistachio ice cream on an olive oil cake, lit with a candle and adorned with Birthday Wishes in chocolate cursive, was a truly personal and heartwarming gesture. This level of personalized service, from the paid valet to the attentive waiting staff and the talented chef, truly sets The St. Regis and Alhambra apart.
Alhambra at St. Regis, DC, was a truly wonderful and memorable quiet evening, a sentiment am sure is echoed by many who have experienced the hotel’s legendary hospitality and the restaurant’s exquisite offerings.

I got the chance to stay at the St Regis hotel for my birthday. It was amazing. My wife and I had breakfast at the Alhambra. Clean, stunning, great service. The quality of the food was fantastic. My favorite dish was the pancakes. The host did a great job getting us all the items we requested and had some great recommendations. I would go back just for the breakfast.

Through your art of food, you enchant me, and I enjoyed all the experience. Love your work and many great wishes for all of you in 2025. I am very thankful!

Alhambra is a culinary gem that offers an exceptional dining experience marked by exquisite food and remarkable service. The menu features an array of dishes that are truly out of this world, but what sets Alhambra apart are its appetizers, which are delicious and inventive. One standout dish is their famous 100-layer potato, a delightful creation that is as visually impressive as it is tantalizing to the taste buds; it’s definitely something you must try. Additionally, the specialty meats are second to none, showcasing tender flavors that leave a lasting impression.
During my visit, I was fortunate to have an outstanding server who elevated the experience. He went above and beyond by calling me personally to share a memorable moment where he expertly popped a bottle of champagne using a sword, adding an element of excitement to the evening.
The ambiance of Alhambra is just as noteworthy as the food. The restaurant is situated in a stunning red salon, where the vibrant décor and warm lighting create an inviting atmosphere. The overall energy of the space is uplifting, making it feel like a special occasion from the moment you step inside. While the prices can be on the higher side, the exceptional quality of the food, combined with the stellar service and enchanting environment, makes every penny worth it. Alhambra is not just a meal; it’s an experience that you’ll remember long after the last bite.

I had a wonderful Fine Dining Experience at Alhambra located in the lobby of the sophisticated St. Regis Washington, D.C. I ordered from 3- course prix fixe summer restaurant menu and I wasn’t disappointed!
I couldn’t fault any of the 3 courses. From the beautifully presented and delicious 100 layer patatas brava , the juicy and delicious Aleppo smoked chicken and not to forget the baklava cheesecake “yummy goodness”.
And yes, my Algerian waitstaff, Sofiane was very courteous and friendly. Also, the manager, Michael is very personable. They both made my experience memorable with the top notch service. First time here and I shall definitely revisit. And thanks, for recommending the Cucumber mule.
I highly recommend if you want to experience Mediterranean cuisine at its best.

Had my birthday brunch here with 9 of my closest girlfriends. The service, drinks, and food were great! A special shout-out to Vasiliki our waitress who was extremely kind and made sure we had a good experience. The manager was also great, we didn’t feel rushed at all. We even got extra dessert on the house because it was my birthday! I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a classy establishment to dine in.
