    I miss the French club that used to meet there to practice their French speaking skills.

    Hilton Brothers Bringing ‘Cafe Colline’ to Lee Heights Shops, on ARLnow.com, July 9, 2019. This is quite an interesting development. There is zero competition for this type of restaurant at that location. Looking at the storefronts for several blocks in either direction on Route 29, that is a situation that is not likely to change anytime soon. I say this is well played. --- Cafe Colline (hopsing)

    The last time we were at Foode we were chatting with the bartender about local place to eat and she suggested Orofino. I have not eaten there so this is all I have to go on.

    Donovan's Pub in Woodside, Queens - since 1966. Their hamburger is still a strong offering.

    Duke's Grocery just opened up in the old Kinkead's space at 2000 Pennsylvania Ave. I would be inclined to try that over District Common. Haven't seen the menu posted yet. It is reported to be more expansive than the Dupont and Woodley Park locations.

    That is more or less an accurate statement. However, for those with a less negative assessment of the fare, I suspect that Patsy's has the GAR A-team working these opening weeks. The Blue Crab & Shrimp Fritters I had there this past Saturday appeared a step up from previous iterations I have been served at other GAR locations over the years. So, if anyone is at all inclined to partake, I suggest that it is never going to get better than it is now.

    We tend to avoid restaurants that do not serve their full lunch menu in addition to brunch items on the weekends.

    I only within the last 6 months started frequenting this joint spurred on in large part by your October 2018 post. Got the whole family in on the great burgers. It was never all that crowded when we were there, which may have something to do with the decision to close.

    What was in this location before it closed? Been here more than 30 years and have no recollection of this site.

    Pasta straws seem like they would hold up better in cold drinks than paper straws, but I have not put them to he test.

    Sounds like an argument of intentional neglect. No luck in that.

    The Camp Trippalindee bar in the Graduate Hotel in Madison , WI serves wine in cans, and only in cans (they may have a single serving box option available). It goes along with their camping theme.

    Surprisingly, we have found the tacos to be surprisingly good. That's a double affirmative! Remember, it's just lunch.

    Get whatever fresh fish they have simply grilled on a bun and you have yourself a pretty good lunch. If you avoid most things fried (excepting the scrumptious swamp lobster) you can put together a satisfying meal here. It's no Fiola Mare, but so what? It doesn't need to be.
