Hat Trick

Hat Trick (4/123)

  1. I had dinner here on Monday with 4 friends, and despite having read the comments on this board, didn't find the place nearly as 'twee' or overwrought as some would make it out to be. It's possible they've dialed it back, or we had a particularly good server, but all in all, it was an enjoyable fine dining experience. We started with the iced oysters (with which they bring a bottle of Woodberry Kitchen-branded Snake Oil hot sauce, along with three other mini bottles of cocktail/hot sauces). Would have liked an explanation on the different sauces, along with a better delivery system (the sauce barely came out of the bottles with a good hard shake). Next two small plates, the grilled ramps and radishes over , and the 'lost potatoes'. These seemed small for the price but were both quite tasty. The ramp dish was more fully realized, I felt the potatoes were just sliced roasted potatoes with seasoning that did not nearly warrant the price. Didn't really get much of the trout roe/other accompaniments in the flavor. Next the winter lettuces salad, which added some filler to the meal but wasn't really remarkable in any way. The stars of fhe show were the entrees, we split the crown of duck and the rockfish. The crown of duck was plenty for four people, with both sliced duck breast, fried legs, and a substantial amount of cassoulet. The rockfish was perfectly cooked and balanced with its accompaniment. Our fifth diner had an order of rockfish to herself as well. We had a bottle of the Gruner and an Oregon Pinot Noir which the sommelier helped us with (more for identifying a 'budget' white that would pair well). Let's just say none of the restaurant is very 'budget'. Finished the meal with the baked alaska, which had tableside flambe. The space is very impressive and definitely the centerpiece of the hotel. I'd go back but given the prices, would probably return more quickly for one of the other dining options in the hotel.
  2. Unum is closed as of 12/16/2017. Definitely a loss for Georgetown, it offered solid food for reasonable prices, especially the half-portions of all entrees, in a cozy setting with warm service.
