Trump has eschewed the capital’s restaurant scene since returning to Washington, choosing instead to dine at the White House or occasionally at his nearby golf club in Sterling, Virginia. He was joined Tuesday by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Vice President JD Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

The president boasted in recent days about the success of the federal takeover of D.C. police. During his first term, he ventured only to the restaurant at the hotel he owned.
