Mark, Wrongo Dongo. Taste the red wines from Veritas, King Family and Michael Schap. I use these wines at Citronelle to play my favorite game with wine snobs called "Vin Mystere". When I pour the "Mystery Wine", the first question I ask is: do you LIKE it? The answer is always "yes". As far as clay in the soil is concerned, Petrus sits on top of a lot of red clay and they seem to do pretty well.

The Grand Shellfish Platter at Oceanaire usually has king crab legs and stone crab claws on it in addition to lobster, shrimp, oysters, clams and mussels. Last week at Old Ebbitt we were successful in substituting more clams for the jonah claws.

Brian, I can assure you that the reason the kitchen at Citronelle had to close early last night was because of the water. Our kitchen normally closes everything down at 10:30. It is illegal in the District to operate a restaurant without running water. The water was shut off promptly at 11. Next time you stop in, please ask to talk to me.

For your next challenge, you need to plunge into the raw bar at the Old Ebbitt. Half price from 3-5 and 11-1.

I had a stellar dinner at the Rib tonight. It is comforting to go to a place that has knowledgeable staff. From the bar to the dining room, nothing could be faulted. The place looks great, the ambience perfect. This is a grown-up restaurant. That means coat and tie. I had a perfect lobster bisque. The crab imperial is all lump crab. The prime rib I had was indeed the best rib I've ever eaten. Tender, flavorful, ample. Why no buzz about this place? I don't eat there often enough.

Citronelle serves "primes" stuffed with blue crab in light tempura batter. No gook!

This has everything to do with politics and nothing to do with reality. -
I agree with Brendan about the Bistro Français. I go there for the tartare and frites. My new favorite late night spots are : Old Ebbitt Grill - the raw bar is half price between 11-1 Monday-Thursday. The largest platter with 4 dozen pieces plus a whole lobster is $45! New Big Wong in Chinatown - the tanks have live shrimp, clams, lobsters, crabs and fish. The special fried rice with dried scallops is amazing.
