CAPITAL DINING WITH FLOURISH One of the finest restaurants in the capital, Plume serves as a discreet and elegant backdrop to the culinary artistry of our award-winning Executive Chef, Chris Jakubiec. Chef Jakubeic draws on both traditional and modern techniques to create seasonal restaurant menus that are inspired by the harvest of Thomas Jefferson's kitchen gardens at Monticello. Choose a cozy nook or a table by our inviting fireplace as you savor classic dishes expertly executed with lighter, contemporary finishing touches that appeal to today's enlightened palates. |
The gardens of Thomas Jefferson’s beloved Monticello home provide the inspiration for the Plume restaurant’s seasonal menus, which showcase only the freshest and highest quality ingredients from local farmers and purveyors. Drawing on the time-honored techniques for seemless execution a special seven-course tasting dining menu invites patrons to enjoy Chef Jakubeic’s personal selections for a highly memorable, epicurean evening. |

A hand-painted mural of Monticello’s south vineyard graces the walls of Plume, evoking Thomas Jefferson’s passion for cultivating, collecting and enjoying fine wines. This lifelong pastime is also reflected in our impressive wine cellar of more than 1,300 labels. Presided over by sommelier Michael Scaffidi, Plume’s wine list spans more than a dozen nationalities and dates back to a rare 1780 Borges Madeira Bual. Among the more than 50 vintages are those Jefferson himself enjoyed in his time as well as newer wines he might select were he alive today. |
