The Cuisine

Kingbird is an all-day, modern American restaurant with globally-inspired, local ingredients. Enjoy fresh pastas, seasonal fare and the best burger in town. Just steps away from The Kennedy Center with views of the Potomac River, Kingbird is ideal for pre-theater dining.

The Design

World-renowned designer Ron Arad has created a dramatic, yet warm and inviting space, perfectly complimenting the building’s original architecture.

Beautiful restaurant, amazing food, perfect waitstaff! Our anniversary dinner was phenomenal and we were completely satisfied!
