After a $2 million top-to-bottom renovation, the Occidental re-opened in January 2007 to celebrate its 100-year anniversary. A new menu by Executive Chef Rodney Scruggs features a fresh take on classic American cuisine such as White Asparagus with a Poached Egg & Black Truffle Hollandaise and Roasted Loin of Venison with a wild blueberry grappa sauce. It’s not just the menu that’s new. To reinstate Gus Bucholz’s tradition of featuring famous faces along the walls, the Occidental unveiled a present-day series of D.C.’s most notable Fresh Faces at a Centennial Celebration in April 2007.

Today, the Occidental continues its historical tradition, providing Washington, D.C. with the best in food and hospitality. It remains a place where notables set out to eat “Where Statesmen Dine.”
