Known for their popular Toronto eateries, chef Lonie Murdock and her partner, restaurateur Darren Hinds, have made a splash in DC with a luxe new hot spot, Isla. Solid Design Creative tricked out the moody interiors, noted for high-gloss walnut paneling, velvet upholstery and a massive chandelier in blush pink (left). Murdock, whose mother is Jamaican, reinterprets island cuisines from around the world, with dishes such as snapper crudo with passionfruit ponzu, pumpkin gnocchi with jerk beef ragu and fire-roasted entrées. Guests can enjoy cocktails at the lacquered bar or in a rum room stocked with libations from far and wide. 1100 15th Street, NW; isladc.com
