1. Fish by Jose Andres
The debut of MGM National Harbor casino and resort just outside Washington, D.C., in early December brought with it the launch of three new celebrity chef-led concepts, including Fish by Jose Andres. The menu pays homage to local seafood styles with options such as Maryland blue crab and Rappahannock oysters, while also offering other types of seafood such as lobster jambalaya and tuna tartare. The 268-seat nautical-themed restaurant features multiple dining areas, including seating along a wave-shaped counter looking into the open kitchen.
