Rose's Luxury is a New American restaurant at 717 8th St SE on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., opened by chef Aaron Silverman in 2013; it holds one MICHELIN star. [1]
Overview
Set in a converted townhouse, it was Silverman's first restaurant. Exposed bulbs, eclectic decor and a lively open kitchen create the feel of an unusually elaborate dinner party, with a family-style prix fixe menu that mixes comfort-food references with globally inspired flavors and a deliberately cheeky tone. [1] Pineapple and Pearls next door is the team's sister restaurant. [1]
Dishes & Signatures
- The signature "pork and lychee salad": crumbled pork sausage, coconut-chile sauce, herbs, peanuts and bursts of sweet lychee
- Strawberry "pasta" — a strawberry-tomato sauce with same-day ricotta and red onion
- Whimsical desserts such as layered strawberry mousse with Pop Rocks hidden inside
Honors
The MICHELIN Guide 2023 star list for Washington listed Rose's Luxury as a one-star restaurant, with the official table giving its address as 717 8th St. SE, Washington, 20003. This entry records the name, address and star rating from the official table; the table carried no individual review of the restaurant, so no dish or chef details were expanded from it. [1]
The restaurant was also named Best New Restaurant in America by Bon Appétit in 2014, and chef Silverman won the James Beard Award for Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic in 2016.
