I am staying at the Hilton Garden Inn in downtown DC tomorrow night and am curious about their restaurant Grist Mill. It looks like the chef has an impressive resume but I am unable to find any reviews on the net. Has anyone eaten there and would like to give their thoughts?

Is it a restaurant or just a place to sober up?

Does a change in ownership but not a name change or location change qualify for the list?

I drove by it last night.

Steak'n Egg in Tenleytown. It's been there since 1935

OMG! This sounds fabulous. Will Silver Spring ever be so blessed?

I'm looking for suggestions as to where to find a stellar Oyster Po'Boy for lunch in the DuPont-Logan-U Street-Downtown area.

I use to go to Johnny's Half Shell for my fix but they are no longer in walking distance. Either is Tackle Box. Hank's is not open for lunch. I've tried Logan Tavern and theirs is okay but not great. Any other ideas?

We took my mother-in-law to Oro Pomodoro for her 84th birthday on a Saturday evening. The food was very good. The pizza crust was one of the best I ever had. Prices were reasonable. Service was adequate. BUT it is not a place to bring anyone who has even the slightest hearing problem. The restaurant was very LOUD. Attempts at conversation were frustrating. For a quiet dinner I would go elsewhere, but if you don't mind shouting at your dinner companions the food is tasty.
