The Room
Colin McClimans opened Nina May on 11th Street in Logan Circle in 2018 — a chef-driven modern-American dining room with a wood-fire focus. The dining room is intentionally tiny.
Eater DC has held Nina May on its top-Logan-Circle rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The wood-fire programme runs the kitchen. The seasonal-rotating Mid-Atlantic preparations, the chef's tasting at $75 handle the menu's wider draws.
Wine programme is small-producer. Cocktails are short and considered.
Best Occasion Fit
First Date: The bar at Nina May is one of Logan Circle's reliable first-date seats.
Birthday: Birthdays at Nina May are warm chef-driven affairs the room handles with seven years of practice.
Solo Dining: The bar at Nina May is one of the better DC solo-dining seats.
