Food and Cocktail Pairing Menu at PS 7's

You drink better than you eat (Maker’s and mac ’n’ cheese, champagne and chicken nuggets).

Something’s not adding up.

Balance the equation with a gourmet food-and-cocktail dinner at PS 7’s. Call at least one day ahead to share any preferences or aversions, then plop down at the bar and let chef Peter Smith and master mixologist Gina Chersevani woo you with a sublime seven-course meal.

The duo pairs each seasonal dish with a complementary cocktail. Pumpkin soup with chestnuts and scotch caramel matches the booze in the S.S. Balvenie. Cucumber-wrapped oysters meet a slushy sherry sip (a play on oysters’ bed of ice and sherry vinegar). Wash down the Yummy Tummy pork belly with a Belly Rub cider.

Awesome grub + delicious drinks + a sweet scene = fulfillment.

You do the math.

Available at PS 7’s, 777 I Street NW, between 7th and 9th Streets (202-742-8550 or ps7restaurant.com). Call ahead to book.
