  1. Yes, I was caught off guard when I opened the menu. We were looking for a cheap night out.
  2. If this is a bistro, it is the most expensive "bistro" in town right now. Many of the entrees are damn near $30, and what I ate a few nights ago (brasied beef) was very fatty and just bad!
  3. I don't buy that you can leave Komi Hungry, although I thought the header to that section was pretty funny. That being said, on my last visit to Komi in July, they did cut back on the portion sizes (which was a good thing) so I left less full than my prior visits, but not hungry.
  4. I was in Japan this summer and we ate at a Yakitori bar in Kyoto, and I have never had such fresh tasting chicken before. It was a really fun place to eat. I think DC is ready for a place like this, along with a tempura and wine bar ( a new trend in Japan).
  5. Now you are talking, a round of chicken skins sound pretty good right about now.
  6. I struggle with this everyday, as the choices or quite limited. I would say your best bet is Breadline or Wasabi, and please stay clear of Naan and Beyond (Potbelly is better), unless you like tasteless food. Also, Restaurant Kolombia is a good choice for lunch.
  7. I have eaten here several times. I would agree that it is hit or miss, but the wiener schnitzel is the best thing on the menu. I do think this place is a little overpriced for what it is, I have seen way too many items being re-heated in the microwave. I love the desserts, though!
  8. The Pizza Margherita tonight was quite good. However, this was my last visit to Bebo. I just cannot deal with the bad service. My wife, who is the most patient person I know, ask me: "Why do you keep coming here"? It took two hours to to get out of here tonight, and we only had two pizzas, a sulumi and one dessert. My pizza arrived 10 min. after my wife recieved her pie, and it only arrived after I ask about it, with not explanation or apology. All this, and the place was not busy at 6pm on a Sunday. I just can't win here, so I give up!
  9. How do we know what any of these people believe? There is nothing wrong with selling frozen pasta, if it pays the rent.
  10. I like Bourdain's show, but who does he think he is? He sold out more than Rocco did, and from what I understand, Rocco was a better cook. Hey, so what if he is selling frozen dinners; he has to support himself somehow.
  11. I was planning on taking some out of town guest here next week. However, I was concerned about the service in the dinning room ( the bar service has always been better), now your review makes me wonder if this is still a good choice.
  12. You should have had the pork sandwich (which I had today) or the fish. I like breadline, but not that much to walk 10 blocks in this heat.
  13. Some restaurants don't release all time slots to opentable. I have noticed this trend with Central and a few other lately.
  14. I have never been offered unsweet tea in New Orleans, or anywhere in the state of Lousiana. My wife is from these parts, and it is not an affectation.
  15. I agree. He is a know it all, but I like his shows. I liked the way he dismissed Mullates(sp) as not being really authentic, in part because they did not have sweet tea. However, the best food in New Orleans is not in the French Quarter. This is best shot show on the network.
  16. Maybe it's Crystal City. Joe, you may be the only person that thinks this is the best pizza in DC. Sorry, it's just not.
  17. This is the best food show on TV, I was watching this episode tonight. This is funny as hell. I think the food network should do something like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAqnrzba_BM...ted&search= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_vqPINDceY...ted&search=
  18. There is a CVS at courthouse, why another? What a shame, I was just thinking today, how this whole area, as well at the country, is just one big damn chain store.
