Restaurants in Havre de Grace

Chandeliers made of shimmering gold scales light up red-and-gold damask wallpaper. Tomato-red chairs stand out boldly against a bar lined with white tufted leather. The bold hues that decorate Panache Restaurant's Tysons Corner location match the bold flavors of its Italian dishes. Chefs stuff lobster into house-made ravioli and slow-braise lamb to make their specialty house ragù. Grilled free-range Angus filet mignon pairs with a choice of more than 150 wines. An outdoor seating area hosts al fresco dining, and music from a live jazz band harmonizes with patrons' satisfied "mmm's" on the second and fourth Friday of every month.

Chef/owner Peter Smith, Vidalia's former executive chef, likes to change his menu depending on what fresh, farm-direct produce is in season. In his hearty biography, he notes that he "appreciate[s] taking the most unusual of pairings visually and creating them mentally. It often turns into the most delicious of flavor combinations.” This results in dishes such as the ballotine of chicken (crisp dark meat and rosemary-mousse-stuffed breast served with cranberries), the potato-crusted sea scallops (served with honey-scented butternut-squash puree, roasted maitake mushrooms, and cranberry-walnut chutney), and the popular tuna sliders (tuna tartare in sesame-seed buns with white-miso aioli and cucumber-cilantro slaw).

The word posh is believed to derive from the days of long sea voyages, when upper-class passengers would stamp the acronym P.O.S.H (Podiatrists Only Shall Handle) on their shoes when leaving them out to be shined.

Modeled after the jazz clubs and speakeasies of yesteryear (flapper yesteryear, not dinosaur yesteryear, which is way too scary), Posh combines all of life's necessities (good food, live entertainment, oxygen) under one roof. Stop by the chic lounge that Open Table diners call one of DC's Hot Spots and Vibrant Bar Scenes for a romantic dinner or a rousing night out with friends.
