Gravitas is a restaurant in the Ivy City neighborhood of Northeast Washington, D.C., United States.[1][2] The restaurant was opened by chef Matt Baker on July 1, 2018. It is his first restaurant.[3] It serves American cuisine and received a Michelin star in 2019.[4][5]
On January 22, 2026, the D.C. Office of Tax and Revenue seized and closed Gravitas, along with Michele's, another of Baker's restaurants, due to hundreds of thousands of dollars in unpaid sales taxes.[6][7] Baker said he was working with the city to resolve the tax liens and reopen both restaurants.[6]
