Signatures Restaurant was a Washington D.C. restaurant opened by Jack Abramoff. Expensive and lavishly appointed with expensive memorabilia, Villeroy & Boch chargers and Christofle flatware, Signatures was used by Abramoff in coordination with his skyboxes and foreign trips to spend money primarily given by Indian tribes on politicians. During 17 months between 2002 and 2003, Signatures gave away $180,000 of food and drinks.[1] The restaurant was located at 1727 Connecticut Avenue NW in Washington, D.C.
Signatures rivaled The Capital Grille, opened in 1994, as the premier high-end Republican restaurant in the city. It was more successful than Abramoff's two other Washington D.C. food ventures, Archives Restaurant and Stacks Delicatessen, both kosher eateries.
In 2002, the political website PoliticsPA named it to their list of restaurants most frequented by politicians.[2]
