Chase Sapphire Reserve® Exclusive Tables in Washington DC: Where to Use the $300 Dining Credit

Washington DC is a strong reservation and dining market, so the Chase Sapphire Reserve® list can be useful if the restaurants overlap with downtown, neighborhood, or trip plans.

Last checked: July 8, 2026. Restaurant participation can change.

Quick Take

For Washington DC, Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables currently has a broad list compared with many markets of 21 participating restaurants. The current list includes 7 restaurants that appear to be new since the earlier version. The credit is useful only if the restaurants fit how you already plan to dine.

How the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables Credit Works

Eligible Chase Sapphire Reserve® and J.P. Morgan Reserve cardmembers can receive up to $300 per calendar year in statement credits at Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurants through OpenTable.

The credit is split into two windows:

• Up to $150 from January 1 through June 30
• Up to $150 from July 1 through December 31

To use the credit, dine at a participating Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables restaurant and pay with an eligible card. The credit does not apply to every OpenTable restaurant, unused credits do not roll over between the two six-month periods, and participating restaurants can change.

Eligible cardmembers can also link an eligible card on OpenTable for access to special or primetime reservation inventory. Terms apply.

Washington DC Restaurants Currently on the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables List

Dauphine’s

Dauphine’s downtown brings New Orleans-inspired cooking to DC from Long Shot Hospitality, with Mid-Atlantic ingredients, a large bar, patio, garden, happy hour, and Sunday jazz brunch. The credit is practical before a show, convention, or White House-area dinner.

Bresca

Bresca on 14th Street/U Street is a contemporary French-American restaurant and cocktail bar offering à la carte and tasting-menu formats; parties of five or more use the chef’s tasting menu. The credit works for a polished dinner, though larger groups lose flexibility.

Amazonia

Amazonia in Mount Vernon Square is the upstairs Peruvian/Amazonian restaurant above Causa, with shared dishes, a rooftop hideaway, and a weekday Sour Hour at the bar. Use the credit for a lively Peruvian dinner; bar-only deals may not be reservable.

Thip Khao

Thip Khao in Columbia Heights/Brightwood is chef Seng Luangrath’s Lao flagship, known for sticky rice, laab, naem khao, papaya salad, and Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition. The credit can go far here for spice-loving diners ordering family-style.

Elmina

Elmina on U Street is Eric Adjepong’s modern Ghanaian restaurant, with dishes like jollof duck pot and egusi stew dumplings in a polished West African room. The credit is useful for a distinctive DC dinner; larger Friday/Saturday parties may need to call.

Xiquet by Danny Lledó

Xiquet by Danny Lledó in Glover Park is a Valencian/Spanish fine-dining restaurant with Michelin-level recognition and tasting-menu structure. The $150 half-year credit is only a partial offset, but it can soften the cost of a serious destination dinner.

Causa

Causa in Shaw/Mount Vernon Square is a Michelin-starred Peruvian tasting-menu restaurant exploring regional Peruvian cuisines beneath Amazonia. Use the credit as a discount on a planned special occasion; it will not make the tasting menu inexpensive.

Service Bar

Service Bar on U Street is a cocktail-focused DC favorite with creative drinks and a casual food menu. The credit is best for a drinks-and-snacks night rather than a formal dinner, so confirm the reservation and payment flow still qualify before relying on it.

El Taller del Xiquet

El Taller del Xiquet is Danny Lledó’s more intimate workshop-style Spanish dining experience tied to the Xiquet universe. Treat the $150 credit as a partial offset for a chef-driven meal where technique and Spanish ingredients matter more than bargain math.

The Duck and the Peach

The Duck and the Peach on Capitol Hill serves New American cooking from Hollis Wells Silverman’s Eastern Point Collective, with a market-driven menu and neighborhood polish. The credit is practical for a Capitol Hill dinner without going full tasting menu.

The Ruxton

The Ruxton is a Baltimore steakhouse from Atlas Restaurant Group, with a clubby room, premium steaks, seafood, cocktails, and expense-account energy. For DC readers, use the credit only when Baltimore is already part of the plan; the bill can easily exceed $150.

Cypriana - Homewood

Cypriana in Baltimore’s Homewood area serves Mediterranean and Cypriot-influenced food, including mezze and grilled dishes. It is a better credit use for Maryland readers or a planned Baltimore visit than for someone trying to force a DC-area redemption.

Azumi

Azumi in Baltimore’s Harbor East is an upscale Japanese restaurant from Atlas Restaurant Group, with sushi, robata, wagyu, cocktails, and waterfront energy. The credit can soften a premium sushi bill, but travel from DC and menu prices should be part of the math.

MARTA

MARTA in DC is an Italian restaurant from the Union Square Hospitality Group orbit, focused on Roman-style pizza, antipasti, and an approachable neighborhood feel. The credit is useful when you want a lower-stakes Italian dinner where $150 can cover much of the meal.

Old Ebbitt Grill

Old Ebbitt Grill downtown, founded in 1856 and steps from the White House, is DC’s classic saloon for oysters, steaks, chops, pastas, and power-dining atmosphere. The credit is practical for visitors, pre-theater meals, or a local seafood-and-bar night.

Moon Rabbit by Kevin Tien

Moon Rabbit by Kevin Tien serves inventive Vietnamese food shaped by the chef’s first-generation Asian American perspective. Use the credit for a modern DC dinner with bright flavors and a personal point of view, especially when you want something beyond standard expense-account fare.

Centrolina

Centrolina in CityCenterDC is chef Amy Brandwein’s Italian restaurant and market, with seasonal lunch and dinner menus and imported Italian goods next door. The credit works well for Penn Quarter shopping, office, or pre-event plans where handmade pasta and wine fit.

Queen's English

Queen’s English in Columbia Heights is a Cantonese/Hong Kong-inspired restaurant from chef Henji Cheung and Sarah Thompson, known for bold flavors and natural wine. The credit is useful for a small group sharing dishes rather than a formal multicourse meal.

Jônt

Jônt on 14th Street is a high-end tasting-menu counter from chef Ryan Ratino, with luxury ingredients and Michelin-starred ambitions. The $150 credit is only a modest rebate on the total, so reserve it for a planned splurge rather than ordinary credit use.

Chai Pani

Chai Pani brings Indian street-food energy to DC, with chaats, snacks, and a more casual format than most restaurants on this list. The credit can stretch especially well here for a group ordering widely, making it one of the more practical DC redemptions.

Naja Mediterranean

Naja Mediterranean in DC adds a lighter, shareable option to the list with Mediterranean dishes suited to spreads, grilled proteins, and group dining. Use the credit when you want a straightforward dinner where $150 can cover a meaningful portion of food.

Notable Picks

Best steakhouse option

Old Ebbitt Grill. Use this bucket only if a steakhouse was already the plan; the credit can disappear quickly on a steak dinner.

Best practical shortlist

Dauphine’s, Bresca, Amazonia, Thip Khao. If you want the credit to feel like a normal dinner credit, start with these before looking at pricier or less convenient options.

Final Thoughts

Washington DC looks like a strong market for using the Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables credit, but only if the eligible restaurants overlap with places you would actually visit.

The up to $300 annual credit is useful when it reduces the cost of a meal you were already planning. If Washington DC's list changes where you eat just to use the benefit, value it at less than face value.

Before booking, check the current OpenTable Sapphire Reserve Exclusive Tables page for Washington DC and make sure the restaurant is still participating.
