*2023 WINE SPECTATOR AWARD OF EXCELLENCE*

Taking inspiration from the landmark Alhambra Palace and Fortress in southern Spain, one of the most famous monuments of Islamic and Spanish Renaissance architecture, our new menu exemplifies the blending of cultures and cuisines across the region.

Showcasing their rich bounty of produce and fish in a modern and convivial setting, Chef Brian Bladfält Landry presents a seasonally inspired menu enhanced with the bold flavors across a variety of the region’s cultures. With distinct menus offered across brunch, lunch and dinner, the dining concept focuses on four sections of small plated dishes – sea, land, garden and table – all meant to be shared.

Alhambra is located on the lobby-level of The St. Regis Washington, D.C. at 923 Black Lives Matter Plaza NW in the heart of downtown D.C. The restaurant is open daily for breakfast and lunch, as well as dinner from Monday through Saturday and brunch on weekends.

    The food and service were excellent. Menu a little confusing. Is it a small plate type of place? Full size entrees? No guidance on the menu. But food was fantastic!

    Stepping into this culinary haven felt like entering a world where every detail was orchestrated to perfection. From the moment we arrived with our friends, the restaurant's ambiance embraced us—an exquisite balance of sophistication and warmth, with softly glowing lights and elegantly set tables whispering promises of an unforgettable evening. The service was impeccable, a masterclass in attentiveness without intrusion. Every need was anticipated, every question answered with genuine enthusiasm. The staff moved with a choreography that was as seamless as it was impressive, making us feel both pampered and welcomed. And then, the food of Mediterranean flavours. Oh, the food! Each dish was a revelation—a symphony of flavors that surprised and delighted at every turn. The creativity and precision that went into each plate were nothing short of artistry. From the first bite to the last, we were entranced by layers of flavor that unfolded like a story, with unexpected notes and harmonious pairings that left us in awe. We and our friends, seasoned travelers and diners who frequent Michelin-starred establishments around the world, agreed without hesitation: this was one of the best meals we've had in years. The entire experience was transcendent, a celebration of culinary brilliance that we will remember and rave about for a long time to come. A true gem that sets the standard for excellence.

    Nice dining room and attentive service but expected due to being at a St. Regis property. Food is seasoned well and flavorful but does not exceed expectations.
