Marcus Samuelsson’s Concepts at The Morrow Hotel

A Destination Restaurant in NoMa

The Flavors of D.C. Start Here

Three Signature Concepts by Marcus Samuelsson - Only at The Morrow.

Chef Marcus Samuelsson didn't come to D.C. quietly. He came to make noise.
At The Morrow Hotel, he's crafted two bold, destination-worthy dining experiences designed to turn heads, spark conversation, and make The Morrow the place to eat, drink, and be seen in NoMa.

From ground floor to rooftop, this is where culinary storytelling meets real-deal flavor - and where hotel guests and D.C. locals collide in the best way.

MARCUS DC

A Love Letter to D.C., Served Nightly

Marcus DC is a vibrant brasserie by world-renowned chef Marcus Samuelsson, located just off The Morrow's lobby. It's where regional seafood, Afro-Caribbean spice, and elevated comfort food come together - all under a mural by Derrick Adams and a soundtrack that sets the vibe.

Local chef and “Chopped” winner Anthony Jones brings the soul, layering personal stories and DMV roots into every plate. From Mel's Crab Rice (inspired by summer crab feasts on the Bay) to Chuck B's Roast Chicken (slathered in mambo sauce), this menu doesn't just feed you - it tells you where you are.

What to Order:

Signature Swediopian cured salmon with teff crisp
2.5 lb Whole Sea Bass with crab curry
Mel's Crab Rice, uni béarnaise, and Calvert County memories
Blue cornbread with yassa butter and berbere honey
A pastry trolley that steals the show - just wait for dessert

Cocktails? Engineered to pair perfectly. Start with a Velvet Detour (cognac + tamarind) and don't stop there.

SLY ROOFTOP

Skyline Views. Berbere-Spiced Cocktails. All-Day Chill.

Upstairs, it's a different kind of story. Sly is a rooftop bar with Capitol views, bold flavors, and a menu that moves from breakfast to brunch to “can we please stay for one more round?”

Inside, it's vibey and modern. Outside, it's open air with a view of NoMa's iconic water tower. It's the kind of place you bring a friend from out of town - and they immediately get why you live here.
