Dark wood, red plush banquettes, equestrian art, Nancy Reagan’s chicken salad – it'll all be there at this Wednesday's relaunch of the Jockey Club, the legendary hotel dining room (once known as "DC's 21 Club") in The Fairfax at Embassy Row; its signature decor has been brightly restored, while the pricey American menu utilizes local produce and new techniques to update longtime favorites like duck à l'orange and trout amandine, and also offers more modern fare like tuna tartare to appeal to 21st-century players.
