New food and beverage offerings and a prix fixe option in the heart of Georgetown
Washington, DC (November 19, 2019)—The Alex Speakeasy at The Graham Georgetown is excited to announce its fall menu, filled with autumnal flavors. The speakeasy has rolled out new seasonal offerings for breakfast, brunch, happy hour, and dinner. Alongside its usual a la carte menu, a new prix fixe dinner menu option is now available every day at The Alex Speakeasy for $39 per person. Diners can choose one starter and one main entrée from a variety of tantalizing options.
Guests are invited to indulge in shared plates like truffle fries, firecracker shrimp chili garlic aioli served with baby kale, and edamame hummus with carrots and warmed pita bread. Other options include pork buns with pickled carrots, cilantro, and jalapenos, topped with a soy glaze, and edamame hummus with seasonal vegetables and warm pita bread. New starters include she crab soup, a creamy butternut squash bisque, baby kale beet salad, and a classic Caesar salad with added protein for an additional cost. Warm house made bread pudding with a caramel drizzle rounds out the offerings.
New main entrée offerings include jambalaya pasta with shrimp, chicken, mushrooms, and fettucine, honey baked trout with roasted vegetables and fingerling potatoes, and Joyce Farms roast chicken brined with carrots and tarragon. Vegetarians will rejoice in the wild mushroom risotto with brussels sprouts, parmesan and pomodoro sauce. Those seeking a heartier dish for the cooler months ahead will love the braised short ribs with a demi-glaze, served with a Yukon Gold and butternut squash mash.
Keeping to its speakeasy nature, The Alex is unveiling a selection of new cocktails for guests to enjoy such as the Lord of Light with Old Rag 110 Gin, yellow Chartreuse, Fernet Branca, and orange bitters, and Juicy Dee, a Rittenhouse Rye concoction with blood orange shrub, fresh lemon juice, and topped with sugar to balance out the rye. Those looking to hold on to summer a little longer will enjoy the Sher-Sher with Pisco, Galliano, Lillet Rose, Lustau Manzanilla sherry, and orange bitters.
The revitalizing Fire in the Hills brings Bols Genever, Bonal, Becherovka, Alpino bitters, salt, and applewood smoke, while the Sunday Boy is made with rich Meletti Amaro, Zucca Rabarbaro, mixed with lemon, maple, and bitters, whites, and yolk.
