Our Story

Eastern Point Collective is a Washington, D.C.–based hospitality group behind The Duck & The Peach, La Collina, and The Wells, dedicated to creating meaningful, delicious experiences through thoughtful hospitality.

Founded on Capitol Hill in 2021, our concepts span a seasonal New American restaurant, an Italian-inspired osteria, and an intimate cocktail bar — all rooted in quality ingredients, warm service, and a distinct sense of place.

The company is proudly women-led and chef-driven, with Executive Chef Kat Petonito serving as both culinary leader and partner. Her Italian and Filipino heritage shapes our menus with a balance of tradition and creativity. Alongside her, Pastry Chef Rochelle Cooper, 2024 RAMMY Pastry Chef of the Year, brings thoughtful, refined desserts grounded in sustainability. The Duck & The Peach was named one of The New York Times’ 25 Best Restaurants in Washington, D.C.

In addition to our restaurants, Eastern Point Collective offers private dining, full-service events, and catering — from intimate gatherings to large-scale celebrations — delivering the same level of care, hospitality, and culinary excellence beyond our dining rooms.
