But first, let's take a look at some of the other reasons why you should come and visit Scarlet Oak DC.

 

About Scarlet Oak DC

Scarlet Oak first opened its doors in Washington, D.C., it quickly became one of the city's hottest new dining destinations. 

The restaurant is located in the heart of the Navy Yard neighborhood of D.C., right by Nationals Park. In fact, it's not quite hard to miss as it's one of those few structures in the area that boasts two spacious dining patios on either side of the building. Its interiors are just as impressive, though. The overall theme is sleek and modern, and provides plenty of seating and a beautiful view of the surrounding area. 

Scarlet Oak Food

As far as food goes, there are three distinct menus available at Scarlet Oak DC: 

1. Brunch

2. Dinner 

3. Happy Hour

Let's start with brunch. 

 

Brunch
