Openings
Chef José Andrés (Jaleo, Zaytinya, Oyamel Cocina Mexicana, etc.) will open America Eats Tavern at The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner. The restaurant will offer a new interpretation of American classics and also recognize native ingredients. This dining concept started out as a year-long temporary restaurant in Washington, D.C., but the Virginia space is intended to be a permanent home. America Eats Tavern, The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons Corner, 1700 Tysons Corner Blvd., McLean, VA 22102, 703-506-4300. Recently opened Italian restaurant Alba Osteria is launching a new late-night menu at the in-house bar called Five at Ten. Those looking for late-night bites can indulge in the $5 small plates typical of Italy’s Piedmonte region, prepared by executive chef Roberto Donna and chef de cuisine Amy Brandwein. Five at Ten will also highlight half-priced pizzas like the Capricosa combining mozzarella fior di latte, artichokes, pancetta, pesto, tomato and fresh basil, and the restaurant’s classic Marinara pie with fresh tomatoes, garlic, olive oil and oregano. Five-dollar draught beers, draught wines, and a selection of house cocktails, fusion shots and a $5 glass of Moscato will be offered, too. Alba Osteria, 425 I St. NW, Washington, DC 20001, 202-773-4454.
May is National Salad Month and Blue Duck Tavern executive chef Sebastien Archambault and newly appointed chef de cuisine Daniel Singhofen is celebrating by presenting salads paired with biodynamic wines for weekday lunch. The restaurant’s à la carte menu features the new salads, such as Bibb lettuce with spring green vegetables and goddess dressing; spring baby carrot with fennel, citrus, green onions and olive oil croutons; and green and white asparagus with hen egg and guanciale vinaigrette. Salad prices start at $11 each and range from $21 to $25 with suggested protein pairings. Blue Duck Tavern, Park Hyatt Washington, 1201 24th St. NW, Washington, DC 20037, 202-419-6755.

Look for such flavors as Strawberry Tarragon Sorbet, Strawberry Tequila Sorbet and Roasted Strawberry Gelato.
