Welcome to 1789, Georgetown’s premier destination for fine dining in a historic, inviting setting. Named after the founding year of Georgetown University, this Michelin-rated restaurant embodies the charm of Washington, D.C., offering an elegant yet cozy atmosphere within a beautifully renovated Federal house.
