Did the zero proof flight and was not disappointed. Zach and team made the whole experience. I met almost everyone on the staff as the presented and rotated through. My total purchase was higher than anticipated because of me. Trust me when I say it’s worth every penny. Will go back before I depart DC. Thanks to the entire staff at Fountain Inn!

The Fountain Inn Restaurant was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, everything felt high-end and thoughtfully done. The menu was impressive — every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, and the service was exceptional. You can tell there’s real attention to detail in every part of the experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly memorable dining experience!

To say this spot is the current toast of a transforming Georgetown would not be an understatement! Apparently, it’s got a long history as the go-to bespoke whiskey bar in this toniest of DC neighborhoods, but with new investors, The Inn has expanded to include a complete dining experience under the helm of Chef De Cuisine, Greg Heitzig. I discovered The Fountain Inn because my friend recently moved to the neighborhood, and she recommended we try it after reading about it in The City Papers Best of DC issue. The paper got it right, and voted this chef the best for a reason. I’ve now been back 3x and I live in Potomac! 🫣 Heitzig, a Michelin rated chef (formerly of Pineapple and Pearls) creates delightful seasonal menus that pair perfectly with any of their high-end bourbons or cocktails. I didn’t know you could “pair” whiskey or bourbon with anything but overpriced chocolates, but Heitzig has shown me otherwise. Ask your waiter for this months best pairings. He’ll know whats what. If available, do start with the snacky cheese puffs with prosciutto (it’s divine!) and don’t sleep on any of his soups, even the chilled ones. The chilled soups always somehow manage to warm every last cockle of my heart, even if my ex-boyfriend says I don’t have any left. It’s a small speakeasy vibe…only one room really…so make a reservation before showing up, unless you like to live on the edge and hope to find a seat or two at their 4 seater bar or sit outside. Me thinks I’ll be visiting my friend Amal over there in Georgetown a lot more before the end of the year. My soul and my spirit(s) could use it…especially if it gives me an excuse to visit The Fountain Inn.
