Have a seat in the hotel that has served kings and queens, prime ministers and presidents, movie stars and music legends, and tonight – YOU! We will begin our dessert night with the Willard’s Signature MINT JULEP! In Washington, the official line is that Kentucky statesman Henry Clay introduced the julep in the early 1800s at the hotel where the Willard Intercontinental now stands. Bartender Jim Hewes makes at least two dozen a day at the Willard's Round Robin Bar. He says juleps "evoke an era of hospitality and geniality, when you were offering the best of what you had: whiskey, ice--which was hard to come by--mint, and time. They're labor-intensive." 2) OVAL ROOM: The Oval Room, located steps from "The Oval Office" is critically acclaimed restaurant serving modern American cuisine with International influences. in a sophisticated contemporary setting. A virtual "Who's Who" of Washington politicians and media dine here - which is why this venue is one of Washington's Power Restaurants.
