  1. All in all, it was pretty good. Had reservations for 5 at 7:30 which included an 80 something year old lady. Got there about 20 min. early but the waiting corner worked and we were called at 7:35 BUT the table was horrible (first floor in front of the bar- nose level was way over the top) so we asked for a table upstairs. The hostess couldn't have been nicer and we had a booth in about 10 min. Right away we noticed all of the grey and white head around the room. Many seemed to be with young people. Now on to the food and service. Paris, our waitress was good and nice but she couldn't control the very slow appearance of the beverages. The flatbread appetizers were great. We had the mascapone/prosciuto/fig and the brie/onion jam/apple. Main courses were the Pot Roast which was loved by all who tasted it, the MeatLoaf which was very good - seemed it was seasoned with herbes de provence, the fried chicken (moi) excellent and Chicken Pot Pies were just so-so. When clearing the table, Paris noticed that the biscuit on the potpies was burned which she commented on and the ladies also mentioned that the pie was very runny. She said she would be reporting to the chef. End of story. Dessert was a simple plate of chocolates, nothing to rave about. Would I go back? Maybe, on a crisp night when I was in the mood for comfort food. The price certainly was very affordable thus the many young people (maybe college students) Parking across Pennsylvania Ave is $10 for valet.
  2. Lunch at Black Salt on Monday at noon was excellent. Especially the salmon and the mussels. The menu was geared for lunch. Later in the week on Wednesday, The Oval Room was excellent. The presentation of each course was very well done and the desserts showed imagination. As a special treat before leaving the table, we were served a sparkling Rose in very cute glasses. The menu could have served for dinner as well. However the $20.10 price in each case was double with the addition of a glass of wine or coffee.
