Harwood Hospitality\u2019s latest concept, Docent Steak, is a two-story restaurant with a main dining room upstairs and a more casual lounge area downstairs. It\u2019s located in the District\u2019s Kengo Kuma-designed Harwood No. 14 building and features more than 100 pieces from the Barbier-Mueller family\u2019s collection of art and cultural objects (who own Harwood International). The food menu centers around Harwood\u2019s exclusive beef program, HWD Beef, and also offers some Kobe beef options. We attended a soft opening at the steakhouse where we tasted dishes from a limited menu. Learn more about our first visit here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
