A traditional tablecloth from the Republic of Georgia that is used for special occasions. A Georgian feast with an abundance of food, wine, and toasts is being held ( sometimes poetic, often lengthy, occasionally punctuated by song ) DC's first restaurant to serve all of the aforementioned items. To recap, a "supra" is a celebratory feast that includes a large amount of food, copious amounts of wine, and toasts from a special guest known as a "tamada," who serves as a sort of super-toastmaster responsible for keeping the party going. Our private dining room, bar, or the entire restaurant can be reserved for your very own supra or other special event at no additional cost. For reservations, the private dining room (PDR) and Supra table are available for two booking windows: from 5:15 pm to 8:15 pm or from 8:15 pm to close (whichever is earlier). Other times may be accommodated, subject to availability and at an additional cost, upon request.
Amélie DC Bistro & Wine Bar
1315 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20005, USA- Spaces for 80-100 Guests
Amélie – Washington, D.C. Step through the door and Logan Circle falls away. Candlelight flickers off wine glasses, the low hum of conversation mixes with the clink of cutlery, and somewhere behind the bar, a cork is being pulled from a bottle that took someone real care to choose. This is Amélie — and for one evening, it's yours. It started, as the best things do, with a group of friends who loved food, loved wine, and loved France a little too much to keep it to themselves. In 2006, that love became a small bistro on Polk Street in San Francisco. Word spread. The concept traveled — to Fairfax, to West 8th Street in New York, to Amsterdam Avenue — until it finally found its way to Logan Circle, D.C., where it's been welcoming neighbors and newcomers alike ever since. Every Amélie has its own kitchen, its own wine list, its own regulars who know exactly which stool is "theirs." But they all share the same instinct: pour generously, cook honestly, and make people feel like they've just walked into a favorite corner of Paris. At its heart, Amélie is a wine bar — a deep, thoughtfully curated by-the-glass list built for lingering, for toasting, for second (and third) pours. Around it, Executive Chef Anthony Lemortellec turns out French classics and seasonal plates that taste like they were made for exactly this kind of night. Bring your people. Whether it's an intimate dinner, a cocktail hour that stretches past last call, or a weekend brunch worth talking about for weeks, Amélie sets the table and lets the evening take it from there. Host your next celebration here — and give your guests a taste of Paris, right in the heart of D.C.
