astrid Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 I don't think The Pig near Logon Circle has ever been mentioned on this forum, and it certainly deserves to be. +1 and I were very impressed by our meal here last night. The food and drinks here are delicious, with lots of interesting dishes to reward adventurous eaters. The price point is really good for the quality and quantity. The service is good and noise level is acceptable for normal conversation, even with a full dining room.We liked everything we tried, but our favorites were braised pork cheek, wild boar ragu, beef heart tartare, and the mac & cheese.

astrid Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 A little more digging into the topic suggest that The Pig's membership in the EatWell Group may be the reason that it's overlooked. I haven't eaten at any other the other EatWell establishments, so I'm not sure how it compares to those allegedly mediocre places. But our dinner last night was terrific and I'm looking forward to a quick return to try the rest of the menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar965 Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I had dinner here a couple of weeks ago with three others and agree with Astrid that it's a good addition very much worth visiting. One of the posts I should have made and haven't. We also really enjoyed the cheek, boar ragu, mac & cheese and a few other things I can't recall. If I can find the itemized receipt I brought home, I'll try to reprise something more worthy of posting with a bit more detail but, for now, would just encourage others to give The Pig a try. Thumbs up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gswagner Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 Big thumbs up here as well. Ate there a few months ago. I remember the boar ragu, boar spoonbread and mac & cheese being particularly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I ate at The Pig a month or two ago; meant to post about it; guess I forgot to. I particularly enjoyed the crispy pork shank with board mac and cheese, and the greens, and was impressed that the chef refused to send out an order of sub-par scrapple despite my friend's begging with the waitress. Most of the dishes are "small plate" sized; the few main-course sized dishes are listed under "Supper". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Dedrick Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Well, that didn't last long. Michael Bonk out at the Queen Vic, in at the Pig. http://dc.eater.com/archives/2013/04/25/michael-bonk-is-in-as-chef-of-the-pig.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
