THE OCCIDENTAL

Openings

1475 Pennsylvania Avenue NW 

The Occidental, Stephen Starr’s glamorous reimagining of the legendary Washington restaurant that once drew the world’s most important statesmen for the ultimate in power dining, has opened at the historic Willard Hotel. Designed by Ken Fulk, the 280-seat Occidental is STARR Restaurants’ most luxe Washington restaurant yet, with caviar service, perfectly executed martinis, and a menu featuring  iconic American dishes and steakhouse favorites. The Occidental’s menu is uniquely focused on reviving classic American fare for a new generation of diners. Menu highlights include Shrimp Louis, Lobster Newberg, Prime Rib, and more. The Occidental’s cocktail menu is equally focused on classics, perfectly executed. The wine list is among the most expansive of any STARR restaurant in Washington, drawing from wine-growing regions around the world, from California, Washington and Western Europe to Greece, Lebanon and Armenia.
