About The Dabney
Located in the historic Blagden Alley of D.C.'s vibrant Shaw neighborhood, The Dabney has proudly celebrated the farmers, watermen, and purveyors of the Mid-Atlantic since 2015. With over a decade of experience honoring our region's bounty, we remain dedicated to showcasing the best of the Mid-Atlantic with thoughtful, seasonal cooking centered around our signature wood-burning hearth. Join us in our dining room for our 5-course prix fixe menu or enjoy our à la carte experience, available in the dining room, bar and patio area. The Dabney has earned a prestigious Michelin star every year since 2017, and Chef Jeremiah Langhorne was honored with the James Beard Foundation's Best Chef: Mid-Atlantic award in 2018. In 2023, The Dabney was recognized as Washingtonian's #1 restaurant, a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence.
