This is also a fresh take on the historic architecture of the venue, which was once a theater. Fraiche is designed to be a non-pretentious culinary destination with a nod to upscale dining without the stuffiness. The menu is constructed in a way that takes approachable and recognizable food and elevates it, with no flavor left behind!

This was probably the best experience I’ve had at Old Ebbitt Grill. We got seated in the bar area, which was warm and comforting on a cold, snowy night. Our waiter was awesome…incredible competent with just the right amount of sass. The food was amazing…everything we ate was delicious. And the company was wonderful. I can’t wait for others to come into town to take them here.

We have dined here more than once and have never been disappointed. We are particularly partial to the "chef's special", a selection of appetizers and small dishes. There is a vegetarian and and meat-eater's version. Both are outstanding. The other interesting thing about Passage of India is the variety of Indian cuisines represented on the expansive menu. There is something for everyone and lots to explore. All is well prepared and nicely presented. Staff is friendly and informative. Highly recommended
