Description: We visited this gem on the edge of Georgetown in Foggy Bottom for a rehearsal dinner the night before my cousin’s wedding. The guests congregated in the front bar area after leaving their coats at the coat check. The long bar is decorated in marble and a warm wood. We were served drinks and hors d’ouevres by a friendly and helpful waitstaff. Once the party was all assembled, we retired to a private section of the restaurant with long tables of varying sizes.
We were presented with a special three-course meal menu for the event. I started with the arugula salad with shaved parmigiano appetizer. For the entrée, I shared the grilled salmon with sautéed spinach and the vegetarian delight (grilled eggplant, zucchini, yellow and green squash, endive, and tomato served with roasted pepper sauce). I have never tasted salmon prepared so succulently before. The flavorful sauce complemented the fish perfectly. The vegetarian dish was also superbly prepared.
For dessert, there were three options: tiramisu, mixed berries, and ricotta cheesecake with raspberry sauce. While the cheesecake was a bit dry for my taste, the tiramisu was delicious!
As we were leaving the restaurant, the staff arranged for a taxi cab for our return to the hotel.
Even though our dinner choices were from a special, limited menu, the food was so delectable that I can only imagine that their normal menu fare is superb as well.
