Your policy on eating is similar to that on dating: You refuse to put anything in your mouth that makes you gag.

It’s clearly time for a Policy more suitable to any palate.

The swanky 14th Street restaurant serves small plates with seasonal flavor combos like Kobe hot dogs with rhubarb ketchup, Madras curry lamb sliders with Gorgonzola and mint pesto, and lobster and Brie chile relleno.

Set under a gleaming black tin ceiling, the first floor sets the mood with bright red vinyl booths and wiry light fixtures. Upstairs, art graffiti gives life to the chic lounge.

Find a seat at the marble and glass bar to sip creative cocktails like the green tea and lemongrass Truthtini or the Bailout, Policy’s ultimate Bloody Mary.

It’s a choice that’s easy to swallow.

Policy, 1904 14th Street NW, between T and U Streets (202-387-7654 or policydc.com).
