The Kinship Story

Kinship is acclaimed Chef Eric Ziebold’s restaurant. The restaurant is located on the first floor of 1015 Seventh Street NW in an historic brick building dating back to 1907. A second restaurant, Métier, opened in the bi-level space shortly after, offers a seven course tasting menu. Both restaurants commit themselves to offer creative and contemporary American cuisine with a continued dedication to hospitality.

Kinship is Chef Ziebold’s vision of what the modern American restaurant can be and offers an à la carte menu celebrating the rich diversity of influences that have come to shape American cuisine. The restaurant offers 55 seats plus a 10 seat bar with lounge area and fireplace.

The restaurants have been designed by Darryl Carter, a Washington D.C. native and a leader in the design world, recognized for his restrained, distinguished, and livable environments. Darryl has played a key role in defining the personality of the restaurants from day one, making design elements intimately woven with the experience Eric want to provide their guests and giving the historic nature of the space a second life. Antique materials and furniture pieces are mingling with modern details to create an elegant yet warm and comfortable atmosphere.

Launched in 2021, The Kinship Collection is a retail line of goods revolving around the art of the table and entertaining, including ceramicware, hand poured candles, linen and more.
