Megobrebo! (Dear Friends!) Welcome to Tabla, DC’s first and second with Supra being our sister restaurant (and only) Georgian restaurants. As no less a chef than Rene Redzepi put it a few years ago, Georgian is the last great undiscovered cuisine in Europe. He was right then, but it’s no longer ‘undiscovered.’ In 2017, we opened Supra at 11th and M, and it’s been a big hit, bringing cheesy khachapuri, soup filled ‘khinkali’ dumplings, and Georgia’s many veggie options to DC diners. We also have the largest Georgian wine list outside the country – Georgia being the world’s oldest wine culture – and the first Georgian craft beers to reach the States. We opened Tabla in 2020 in the Park View/Petworth area, bringing a more-casual vibe to the décor (Georgian street artist ‘LAMB’ did the interior paintings and other artwork) and taking a few more liberties with the menu (still Georgian, but some dishes are not completely traditional). We offer catering for all private events! Email us for more details Tabla@supradc.com

Learn more about our one-of-a-kind private dining spaces by reading on. Georgetown in the 1960s was a far cry from the thriving center of upscale shopping and tourism that it has become today. Putting a dapper Harvard grad in the same bar as some burly bikers on M Street may seem unlikely, but that's exactly what happened when the young Stuart Davidson decided Georgetown needed its own neighborhood saloon. Upon leasing the two-room B&J Restaurant, he would rename it after the Scottish river Clyde, and transform it into a gathering place for diners and cocktail drinkers who, like himself, "would rather eat in a saloon than drink in a restaurant." With its own bar and private indoor balcony, the Piedmont Room is located in the Chinatown/Penn Quarter, one of Washington's most vibrant neighborhoods. The room is decorated in the style of a country farmhouse, complete with a large bronze horse, sterling silver trophies, and chandeliers.
