washington, D.C. | total inoxication.

sometimes too much of a good thing can be great. taste the evidence at the recently opened inox.

with a total of six toques in the house, exec chef and owners jon mathieson and jonathan krinn (both from 2941) promise gourmet overload at this tysons corner resto. tasting menus feature seasonal ingreds, and the lounge area has its own array of small bites. while you're there, sip some 650 wines chosen by master sommelier john wabeck, who most recently worked as exec chef at new heights in DC. curious about what's going on in the kitchen? you're sure to see all the drama; design firm CMS (who did NYC's nobu and miami's W hotel) raised the open kitchen onto a platform to give it an iron chef feel. and if watching mathieson and krinn play off each other's strengths for inspiration wasn't enough, krinn's father, malvin, even got in on the game, developing a signature bread program. together with sous chefs scott muns (NY's per se), nick palermo (l'hotel de ville in switzerland) and culinary creator rissa pagsibian, it's a force to be reckoned with. don't believe us? sink into one of the banquettes and sample the escargot tortellini or pan-seared blue nose bass.

it's guaranteed to leave you totally inoxicated. inox. 1800 tysons boulevard. near galleria. mclean. 703.790.INOX. www.inoxrestaurant.com
