Top Shelf Group, LLC, doing business as The Gryphon, is a small hospitality management company based in Washington, DC that owns and operates The Gryphon. The Gryphon offers a meat-centric menu highlighted by beef, with additional options including pork, lamb, seafood, and an oyster-forward raw bar featuring shrimp, lobster, and clams. The dining concept centers on two elements—preparation techniques such as curing, grilling, broiling, roasting, and aging, and a presentation that favors shared or pre-cut plates. The venue aims to combine high-quality food and drinks with a lively, social atmosphere, seeking to create a sense of a neighborhood dinner party for guests. Its target is guests who value social dining, and the operation emphasizes communal eating and drinking as a core part of the experience in the Washington, DC market.
