I have always talked about wanting to go to Bar Louie (menu here) and just went after seeing the Sex and the City movie. I didn’t realize, until just now, that it’s a bit of a chain!
Food:I ordered the Baja fish tacos which were pretty good. The fish was seasoned very well (and not fried, yay!). [...]

Brasserie Beck. I was supposed to go a couple of different times but things kept happening that prevented my visit. I finally made it with a couple of friends.
On a total personal side note, both of my food-loving friends (who are always up to try new places and cuisine) are leaving DC! Ugh, it’s so [...]

I had gone to Tonic for a drink before when a friend and I were waiting for a couple of seats to open at Adam Express. We decided to go back when Thai Fest Day was cancelled due to the rain. Although we didn’t know that and so we drove up there. Then when we realized there was no [...]

I know, I know — Morton’s is a chain, but unlike some other chains (ahem, none to be mentioned here but take a look at the list of “Restaurants I’ve Been”), they’ve managed to still be pretty good.
Food: First, let’s talk about their enormous (freshly baked?) onion bread they plop in front of you. It’s the [...]

After hearing so much about Mai Thai from a friend (who goes to their Alexandria location), it was about time I tried it out for myself.
Food:Since I went with a huge group, we ordered a lot of food. I tried a little bit of everything — but of course, ordered my fried tofu and Pad Thai. Both [...]

I’ve walked by Malaysia Kopitiam a thousand times and have always meant to try it. Finally, I went and grabbed lunch.
Food:Self-described as “fine Malaysian cuisine with the influence of Malay, Chinese, and Indian food,” it was pretty good. I ordered the spicy tamarind squid with stir-fried squid, pineapple, okra, onion, red pepper, carrot, and tomatoes in [...]

I don’t know why, but the Beacon is always viewed as a good place for HH (happy hour) and food. Personally, I disagree. Instead, I prefer to tell people about Nage.
Food:While their menu can seem somewhat limited (it’s seasonal), their chalkboard offers another 10 various options — and from that menu, you can have a pre-fixe [...]

I love my friends for many reasons. But the main reason is because they’re incredibly smart — they are well-read, highly educated (whether through formal education or on their own), etc. And most of them have also traveled extensively (funny because I really haven’t, but it’s something I’d love to do!) .
It’s this last reason that [...]

One of my friends at work felt like pizza. I felt like walking a little (not a lot) so we thought we’d try Alberto’s Pizza. I of course, forgot I had already been there. Anyway, we couldn’t find the restaurant, but realized that Pizza Paradiso was across the street.
So all was not lost!
Food:I ordered the Siciliana pizza [...]

Hi there, I’m P3 and am blogging today’s restaurant review.
My friend and I went to Central Michel Richard at 5:30, before theatre (even though they don’t really have a pre-theatre menu) and it was already starting to fill up fast.
Food:To start with, I ordered the iceberg and bleu cheese salad which had too much bleu [...]

You could easily walk past it and not even realize, but nestled in between a rib joint and a former Chinese restaurant, here’s another great find in the area.
Food: Their menu offers something for everyone. While I’ve had their pizza, their 3.6.9 mini burgers and onion straws are my favorite. Today though, I felt like expanding my [...]

There’s an interesting AP story that was printed on Friday afternoon stating that there’s a shortage in hops, which could mean your beer may cost more — and change the flavor.
The reason for the shortage? According to the story:
“A decade-long oversupply of hops that had forced farmers to abandon the crop is finally gone and [...]

I went to LIMA with a group of friends a few weeks ago and had a fantastic time.
Food: I had seen some mixed reviews, but I still wanted to try this Latin-infused cuisine. We had decided to order some mojitos (which were good) and some appetizers. Up first was the Ceviche Mixto, which was [...]
