A ‘Common’ Commotion

in Around Town, Eats
by Evan Ibrahim

Smith-Commons (1245 H St. NE) – anything but common – is the Atlas Arts District’s hottest addition, a neighborhood nosh spot setting itself apart in the up and coming H Street corridor. 

The revamped venue serves uncommonly comfortable cuisine with a cozy atmosphere to match.  Check out the bar on each of its three levels, with inviting high-back couches and fireplaces in the public rooms, while drooling over Executive Chef Frederik De Pue’s internationally inspired menu. (May we recommend the Duck Leg Confit, or a side of Mac and Cheese?)    

But food is not the only draw to Smith-Commons Dining Room & Public House.  You won’t want to miss “Smith Hour” (actually 5-7 PM) which features $5 favorites from a long list of wine, craft beers, specialty cocktails, and small plates served throughout the venue Tuesday – Friday.  

Tell ’em K Street Kate sent you!
