D.C.’s Estuary Turns Over a New Leaf Under a Mexican-Born Chef
Estuary, named for its devotion to the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay, is no stranger to well-known talent in the kitchen. The marble-lined restaurant on the third floor of Hilton’s luxe Conrad hotel in the CityCenterDC development opened five years ago under Top Chef stars Bryan and Michael Voltaggio and was most recently led by pioneering female chef Ria Montes. And now, Estuary’s newly named executive chef Arturo Elias is turning the mid-Atlantic menu on its head (950 New York Avenue NW).
