CUT D.C. Sourcing ingredients from local ranchers, farmers and fisherman, the restaurant produces a distinctive repertoire of dishes that highlight the best of the surrounding area, including Sweet Corn Tortelloni with Kewsick Creamy ricotta and marjoram, Virginia Black Bass with baby artichokes, basil pistou and nantes carrots and Grilled Whole Wild Turbot with saffron-charred fennel vinaigrette. A selection of signature wagyu, dry-aged cuts of beef and offal cuts, including Wagyu Beef Heart “a la plancha” with nam jim, cucumber, lime and coriander, remain available for CUT’s steak-seeking clientele, alongside several additional meat-centric dishes considered by Wolfgang to be personal, childhood favorites, such as Veal Holstein Schnitzel with capers, white anchovies and Path Valley eggs. Lighter options well suited for lunchtime range from seafood to salads to a rotating selection of sandwiches and meat options.
Complementing CUT D.C.’s carefully curated menu, the property’s new bar boasts an extensive cocktail and wine list that further celebrates the Mid-Atlantic region with offerings from several local vineyards and distilleries. Exclusive offerings unavailable elsewhere in the city include a private label rye whiskey from Catoctin Creek Distillery and a 100% Chardonnay from ThibauttJanisson. Other highlights include a dedicated Negroni section with five different concoctions, as well as a roving beverage cart serving Old Fashioneds made-to-order.
Combining the typical warmth and modernity of Wolfgang Puck restaurants with the signature architectural and design details reminiscent of Washington, D.C., CUT D.C. evokes a contemporary and sophisticated ambiance that invites guests to feel immediately at ease. Elements of the property’s exterior architecture, such as brick and metal, are brought inside the restaurant and contrasted with custom furnishings dressed in rich velvets and silks in hues of teal blue and bronze. Pronounced décor sourced from artisans around the world further reflect the restaurant and hotel’s residential style and invite conversation among friends new and old.
An expansive, open space, the bar area features an impressive bottle display as its focal point, boasting 2,500 bottles from around the world, complemented by a raw seafood glass counter that showcases delicacies from the Chesapeake Bay and other local providers. Walls backlit with teal painted glass are juxtaposed with French Versailles parquet floors and silk draperies to create a sophisticated, intimate environment, which is mirrored within the property’s 14-seat private dining room situated on the floor below.

CUT Above Set against the capital city’s iconic skyline, the hotel’s new rooftop bar and lounge, CUT Above, emerges as the ideal destination for al fresco entertaining. Outfitted with plush and modern lounge furniture, the open-air space features an abbreviated yet elevated food and beverage menu, with highlights ranging from Maine Diver Scallops with celtuce, West Virginia peach and lemon balm to a Hardwood Grilled ‘CUT Burger’ with jalapeno marmalade and aged Vermont cheddar on a brioche bun.

Revamped Public Spaces Instilling a sense of conviviality at the very start of the guest journey, Rosewood Washington, D.C.’s new public spaces include a reimagined lobby and library, each designed by Jacques Garcia to offer a warm welcome and transport visitors to a tranquil state. Elegant design and architectural details, such as wood paneling, antique mirrors and marble fireplaces, line the lobby and its corridors, evoking the environment of a private home. The signature residential style is further reflected in the library, where a double height ceiling, deep velvet sofas and armchairs and a stunning chandelier invite guests to visit with friends or relax on ones own.
