DC can be a pretty hectic, high-intensity place, but amid all the hustle and bustle, District Commons tries to cultivate what it calls an atmosphere of "cool comfort" on Washington Circle. This means that when you visit District Commons, you'll find yourself in a sleek, modern space filled with the low hum of unhurried conversation and laughter just minutes from Residences on the Avenue.

The menu is focused on classic American cuisine, with a special emphasis on fresh baked goods. In fact, Yelp reviewers recommend that you start your meal with the restaurant's signature loaf of pretzel bread, which arrives at your table looking like a half-sized baguette accompanied by a pot of house-made mustard butter to slather onto each bite. Entrees include inventive options like grilled salmon with a dijon crust, leek and white bean ravioli, and kimchee-inspired rack of pork. All you'll need to do is sit down, relax, and enjoy your meal.
