MALLARD

1337 14th Street NW 

Neighborhood Restaurant Group and Chef Hamilton Johnson have opened Mallard, a new restaurant that reimagines Southern cuisine with a refined yet playful twist in the space formerly home to Birch & Barley beneath ChurchKey. At Mallard, Chef Johnson blends global and classic techniques with Southern food traditions, utilizing local and regional ingredients. Chef Johnson also takes inspiration from memories from his family's dining table for Mallard's dining experience. Some menu highlights guests can get excited for include Shrimp and Grits, Wild-Caught Blue Catfish, Seared Sea Scallops, and more. The beverage program at Mallard is lead by Greg Engert, Nick Farrell, and Erin Dudley. Mallard is initially open with lunch and dinner service, but will eventually expand to offer brunch service in September. For more information, visit Mallard's website here.
