mame11 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Who knew that there was a DC Whiskey Week. Well, maybe those who follow the drinking board on donrockwell.com... i'm not one of them. Tonight at Bourbon there is a massive whiskey tasting including some from High West that I had last night at an informative event at the Tabard Inn. The event tonight at Bourbon/Adams Morgan begins at 8:30... hope other rockwellians will attend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squidsdc Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Coincidence. we were there as well, arrived just before 2 pm. Well then, a belated hello! We actually arrived late due to traffic and were there just before 2 as well. I think we were the last to leave, however. Also spotted hillvalley enjoying a lunch there. Another fine meal enjoyed, and once again I am overstuffed. We shared the bread basket, I ordered the Pork Frittes, and Mr. S had the Cobia with sunchokes and (can't recall the entire prep) Mine came with a salad and Mr. S ordered one for an app. I am always pleasantly surprised by the amazing flavors that just a "salad" can deliver, when done the right way. . Ordered the brussell sprouts, which had to be substituted at the last minute. The broccolini that was brought out instead was unfortunately too smoky from the wood grill to eat by itself. When eaten with the meat though it was a very fine combo. I'm too sleepy from the food to recall all the details but we will definitely return to try some pizza and/or panini for a lighter lunch. Today was not only a belated semi-birthday celebration, but it was our lunch AND dinner so we ordered a bit on the heavier side.

DonRocks Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Michael Landrum is opening his new restaurant tonight at 6 PM. It's at 1650 Wilson Blvd (across the street from Ray's Hell Burger), and there's free validated parking in the apartment garage (entrance on N. Pierce Street). The name is top secret, but it will offer meat, fish, and vegetable dishes. No burgers are going to be served (yet). There is a liquor license, so drinks are a go. It will have a bar setting, so ultra-casual is perfectly fine. As for prices, according to Michael, "people won't have to run to the bank before coming." Credit cards will be accepted. That is all.

jparrott Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Smooth Ambler Distillery from West Virginia presents a (free) tasting of vodka, gin, white whiskey, and a little bit of aged bourbon TONIGHT at Jack Rose, 6-10pm. Also, (non-free) cocktails! Full disclosure blah blah blah blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodeats Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 The very short answer is we're not changing the bar menu anytime soon. (other than the dishes which change as the menu changes.) Hopefully, knowing that wont stop anyone that was planning on coming in, but I have this memory from my childhood of these furniture stores that would post "going out of business clearance sale" for years, and didn't think it would be right for anyone to rush in under false pretense. The long answer has to do with changing the dining room menu from 3 courses to 4 courses, always trying to improve etc.... We're not going to change anything until we're convinced that what we would change is better than what we're currently doing. We're not at that point. Hooray! Well, does anyone want to meetup on Friday? Just in case? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I advise getting there fairly early, as it's getting more crowded these days. If you get them a head count, it might be helpful). And the nice thing is that if there is a wait you can grab a cocktail and the staff keeps tabs on who is next and gets you a seat without the usual bar seat scramble. YMMV, but this has happened to me on two occasions in the past. Would love to join you, but seeing the Capital Steps that night, perhaps a post show dinner here may be in order.

Ericandblueboy Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Dungeness Crab Masala 1.5 orders Salli Boti Jardaloo The crabs will be fresh, in the shell. They will be cracked so you can basically eat them with your hands and teeth, but you might want to bring crab crackers. The Salli Boti Jardaloo is "a Parsi (Persian) specialty where the lamb is cooked with apricots and vinegar, served topped with straw potatoes."

Joe H Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Courtney Saunders is a hairstylist (for both men and women) who comes to your house, and is willing to travel in the DC/VA/MD area. She can do all sorts of things from simple kids' cuts to color, perm, and whatnot, to full-scale bridal party stuff. She is also very nice, hardworking and professional. Website is here, rate sheet is here. I hereby disclose: * that my wife has become a friend of Courtney's, but I can also say that everyone to whom my wife has recommended Courtney has been very pleased; and * that if you saw me in person you would not think that you should take hairstyle advice from me, but I do have a very good sense of what well-styled hair looks like (I just don't care whether it's on my head). Sam Heldman "that if you saw me in person you would not think that you should take hairstyle advice" The same could/would/should be said about me. A pleasure to read. I should note that a few months ago I bought a particularly nice handmode comb in Koln and wondered if I really had a need for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those without stare at Thomas Kinkade paintings and are happy too! Ok, I get it, Kinkade has nothing to do with this topic. His art was just "bad" but he wasn't necessarily deceptive. It is an insult to the late Mr. Kinkade to compare him with the kobe sellers in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
