Seven Reasons
5-Course Pan-Latin Elegance Tasting Event
Since its opening in 2020, Seven Reasons has established itself as a cornerstone of Washington DC's dining scene, now housed in a stunning two-story space at City Center. Named Esquire’s “Best New Restaurant in America”, this culinary destination is the vision of Chef Enrique Limardo, who trained in Caracas and Spain before rising to acclaim at Baltimore’s Alma Cocina Latina. At Seven Reasons, his menu bursts with creativity, with show-stopping dishes like hamachi tiradito, lamb lo mein with passionfruit garlic, and Patacón piña colada with fried plantains and pickled pineapple. Desserts, including liquid-nitrogen coconut clouds and cacao-basil crumble, are just as memorable. As Condé Nast Traveler puts it: “Each plate is a colorful surprise.” So, join us for a very special evening as we chat with Chef Limardo and experience the energy, elegance, and inventiveness that define this DC favorite!
