bettyjoan Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Okay, quick turnaround - friend is in town for a conference, and the only time she has to meet up is tonight after about 8:30 PM, so she suggested drinks/dessert. She is staying at the Marriott on 22nd Street (West End area), but she will be coming directly from the Corcoran, and we will be coming from and going back to NoMa, so red line access is a plus (but we could walk a bit to get to Metro). I was going to suggest the bar at Vidalia - who doesn't love a glass of wine and a piece of chess pie? - but they appear to close at 9:30 PM, so I feel like that is cutting it a bit close. Does anyone have any suggestions? I don't think we'll be needing a place that is open till midnight, but we certainly don't want to feel rushed. Thanks!

porcupine Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I had dinner at Ris [West End] the other night; every time I dine there I like it better. I believe they are open 'til 11:00. The desserts are usually excellent, but I can't comment usefully on the wine list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonRocks Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Ris is a good suggestion, and I hope you used it. West End Bistro would have served you well. Where did you go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyjoan Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 We actually caved and went to Kramerbooks - friend wanted to get some walking in (she is doing a 10,000 step program), and she loves the Dupont area, so I just gave in to the easy fix. The dessert was not good, but the drinks were fine and it was a lovely night to sit outside and chat with someone dear. She has been in town a couple of times over the past few months, and I have taken her to Rasika and DGS, both of which were big hits, so I don't feel quite so bad for punting. I am going to put Ris on the list for me and Jason, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
