Komi

Washington, DC


There is an admirable simplicity to Komi’s changing menu, rooted in Greece and influenced by everything – but primarily genius. Its Michelin star proves that. Dinner comprises 12 or so dishes; say suckling pig, scallops and truffles, or roasted baby goat. Komi’s cozy space doesn’t take groups larger than four. Call a month before your desired dining date for required reservations.

Komi is one of Washington’s most knockout dining experiences, with the incredible attention and measured pacing that the staff provide adding to the effect.
