Red, Hot, and Blue is terrible. Try the Palette Pleasers in Eastport. It is incredible. I wish DC had a comparable place.
-
This might be a potential story for "The Ethicist" in the NYT Sunday Magazine. Or not. As I have previously posted, we had dinner there three days before his resignation. He had just rolled out several new items and was swinging through the dining room asking for responses. -
Jen's Place also looks promising. Thanks.
-
Just as a follow up Y&H has a story about his departure and plans.
-
We ate there last Saturday just as it was opening at 5:30. RJ was unveiling several new dishes that night and was eager to get the opinions of the diners. He seemed very happy.
-
Nourish Market's website is not up. Does anyone know its hours of operation? Eating shit in McLean (to quote a recent poster), and I won't take it anymore! Thanks
-
Looking for a good breakfast spot that serves more than pastries. I checked out the Barn Door Cafe but that seems to be a sweets shop. Thanks
-
"Raising the Salad Bar" by Catherine Walthers has lots of great and inventive recipes. Vegetarian, red meat, chicken, seafood, and fish recipes.
-
Well we asked our very attentive server, and he suggested two appetizers each. Great suggestion. With the amuse bouche and bread, it was just right. R.J. swung by to inquire about dishes we had ordered from his revamped and very interesting new menu. Kudos all around.
-
Thank you for you recs. I guess the sensible thing to do would be to ask the server if two appetizers and a side would be satisfying. We have an early reservation, followed by an NSO concert, followed by smoked salmon at home after the concert.

We are going to dinner on Saturday but not to the Chef's Table. We have never been, so some advice would be appreciated. If we each ordered two appetizers and no entrees, would we be satisfied? Neither of us consume large portions. Plus, the appetizers look more inventive. Thanks.

You have convinced me to stay away from the GAR group. Are there any good to excellent restaurants from Vienna to McLean? I seriously doubt it. As a pevious poster put it--I'm paraphrasing--lots of money, not much taste.
-
Not that it matters much, but Tom S. at WaPo, not exactly a blue collar guy, consistently recommends these restaurants and laments that none have opened in Maryland.
-
Just a hunch, but I wonder if they unwittingly took the rather industrial looking 2941 interior to Inox without the "lake." That essentially means that there are no really good restaurants in McLean/Tysons.

The French Hound (ha ha) in Middleburg.
-
It is definitely worth a look.
-
I'm not sure if it has been mentioned in this thread, but "Mostly Martha," a German film is wonderful, by turns heartbreaking and hilarious.
-
Does this mean that Amma's in Vienna will also be closing?
-
Had a wonderful brunch at Urbana today. The mushroom omelette was delicate, varied, and inventive. My poached egg veggie nest featured julienned asparagus, mesclun, and red peppers. We had not been here before. Service was very professional and unobtrusive, and we loved the sleek decor. While most of the other brunchers were downing copious amount of champagne, we confined ourselves to two pots of Earl Grey tea. Has anyone stayed at the Palomar next door?
-
Thanks for the tips. We plan to take the ferry from SW Harbor to both the Big and Little Cranberry Islands. We'll only be there for the first two weeks in July.
-
Are any other Rockers going to Mid-Coast Maine this summer?
-
We also went for brunch and were underwhelmed by our entrees. We much prefer Zaytinya and Oyamel. But the service was extremely professional.. Our highlight was the fish market where we bought trout, salmon, cous cous, and beet salad. (and the fish monger went to the basement to give us some dill for the trout--grati). Thank you Black Salt Fish Market!
-
What's the story? These guys arrived about six months ago. Rocks?
-
Moving up the coast a bit, has anyone eaten at Fiddler's Green, Red Sky, or Cafe 2 in Southwest Harbor?
