We had heard about the new chef here so we decided to give it a try. I started with a house brewed root beer, while my dad had just a plain old beer. The parental figured it would be a good idea to start with the buffalo wings (Yes!) and the lemon hummus (No!). The buffalo wings were pretty good being crispy with a decent amount of spice, but $12? For 7 wings? The hummus was alright but nothing special. For the entrees my dad (once again) thought it would be good to order "the veg" sandwich with a side of gazpacho, and a vegetarian wellington. Honestly, they both felt like the kitchen had, in a half hearted effort to feed vegetarians, thrown together every vegetable in the kitchen, and served it on some bread, or (for a $7 up charge) with crispy phyllo. Both needed salt. And/or bacon. 'Nuff said. While the service was less then desirable (we had to ask for silverware when the apps came and for a spoon when the entrees came), and the food was mediocre, I feel as though there was one main force that causd the downfall of this meal: my dad decided to order this crap at a brew pub.

Happy birthday chef Richard! I went to Central last year for my birthday, and for your birthday this year, I went to Citronelle. My dad and I had the mushroom cigars, the tuna burger, the fried chicken, and the french fries. I heard that you got an award for being the best chef in the country and now I know why. Happy birthday once again. Matt

O.k. picture this. You are walking to sushi-ko. You go in and you can't sit at the sushi bar (arrrg) so then Mr. Allen Smith (the manager) asks you to come back in twenty. You go and do some stuff, and when twenty minutes is up the sushi bar is half empty !! That is how I got to taste the best sushi I have ever had! When we (me and my dad) were there we had six nigiri, (live scallop, yellowtail belly, lightly seared flounder, and salmon belly, and two tuna) a chicken yakitori, a spicy rock shrimp & cilantro roll, and a rainbow roll. The people at sushi-ko are really nice! For example, chef Koji, (the chef) and Mrs. Kyomi (his wife). And that is just scratching the top!!! The only two problems (and this one isn't really a problem because it happens every time I eat sushi) is my stomach gets all gelatiny (gelatiny adj. the act of being like gelatin). The other problem was I kinda gagged on the sea urchin . Don't get me wrong it tasted great! it was the texture. To sum it all up, the best sushi in D.C. that I've had! (The other one I tried was Kotobuki).

Hi I’m Matt Rockwell, Don Rockwell’s son. My dad and I went to Colorado kitchen this morning and it was the best breakfast I had in a decade (and I’m only ten years old). I usually like my eggs with a lot of cheese and ketchup but these eggs had none of that and they were the best eggs I had ever had (and believe me I have had a lot of eggs in my life). The waffle my dad had was very good except it was hot when it came out and it got cold in five minutes. I like my food to be warm through out the whole meal. I am very picky about my bacon, but one of the three slices was fatty, one was crispy, and one was that “melt in your mouth” kind. You don’t find the “melt in your mouth” kind that much any more. It was good to find out about another place that has that kind. The hash browns were some of the best I had ever had (they also stayed warm throughout the whole meal, and that’s rare)! The doughnuts, yes I said doughnuts were warm and sweet. There was a powdered one, a nut and honey one, and, my favorite a chocolate glazed one. I would rather have one of those then fifty Dunkin Doughnuts ones, and the ones at Dunkin Doughnuts are bigger. The orange juice was good this time I had it and it was kind of bitter last time I had it. I guess it was a bad day last time I had it. The service there is excellent! Every time I go there everybody is very nice! It is also very efficient and it takes very little time to get your food. That is what I admire in a restaurant. Over all it was a very good breakfast!
