James Beard award-winning chef Aaron Silverman is giving diners a chance to skip the famously long lines at one of his Barack’s Row gems, Rose’s Luxury.

For the holiday season, diners can purchase limited-edition gift cards that are paired with dinner reservations at the Michelin-starred restaurant. Couples pay $150, and parties of four pay $300. And reservations are available between January 2 and February 28, except Valentine’s Day.

The restaurant is offering 350 gift cards/reservations, according to Washingtonian, which first reported the “holiday gift.” Slots for Fridays and Saturdays are already mostly booked, according to the restaurant’s website.

Last year, Rose’s began allowing parties of 6 to 8 to reserve a table in its dining room during limited times. And groups of 8 to 12 can also reserve a space on the roof garden. Both options are regulated to tasting menus. This way, there are no questions about how much food is appropriate to order for a group, and there’s no difficulty of splitting a large bill at the end of the meal, Silverman told DCist.

Silverman has recently made some small menu changes, the chef told Washingtonian. The restaurant will also be updating its art, playlists, and dishes, among other things. But the food is, without exception, extremely inventive and delicious, according to our review.

For those who make the purchase but can’t dine during one of the available slots, the gift cards are valid for five years.
