OVERVIEW
The first D.C. restaurant from the Neighborhood Restaurant Group opened in October 2008. Set on two levels in the former Dakota Cowgirl space, the spot is headed up by Rustico chef Frank Morales. Downstairs, the 90-seat Birch & Barley dining room offers modern American fare and a 14-seat chef’s table. Upstairs, the 3,200-square-foot bar ChurchKey pours 500 beers.
