DCist knows that running a successful restaurant is tough. That’s why we have to congratulate 701 on their recent 15-year anniversary. Any establishment that’s lasted this long has to be doing something right. But rest assured that 701 is taking this celebratory opportunity to try some new things as well.
We’re sure you’ve heard or flights — of wine, sake, desserts. But we’re pretty sure that 701 is one of the first restaurants to offer a flight of caviar to its patrons. With more costly versions of imported sturgeon recently banned in the states, their $15 sampler is a great way to become acquainted with domestic varieties. Fifteen dollars is also the magic price for various lunch menus, some of which include a glass of wine. Toss in evening jazz for those who can’t make a lunch reservation, and you’ll have more than 15 reasons to check out 701 tout de suite!
