After dog sitting for P3, she was quite generous with her “thank you” gift and gave me a gift certificate for Cashion’s. I was excited because I’d never been before — and so I finally had the opportunity the other week.
Food:To put it mildly, some of the best appetizers ever! I ordered the grilled octupus which [...]

I’m one of those. I like to read reviews about places before I go so I know what to expect. And the review I read about Vinoteca and their food was, to put it nicely, dismal. So what do I do when my friend, who was going with me, asked about this place? I say, “Yeah, the [...]

In case you haven’t noticed, I’m starting to go to places that are a bit more “off-the-beaten-road” in DC. Perhaps they aren’t too well-known. I don’t think El Tamarindo falls into the unknown category, but I had never been. And luckily, neither had one of my friends.
Food: As soon as we sat down, we received a free order of chips [...]

Feeling like something different for lunch, I convinced a friend of mine to go with me to Rumi Restaurant.
Food:I went twice — once I went to their restaurant and the second time I ordered delivery. The first time, I ordered their chicken doner (first photo). It was really good, but there was no “Special Rumi [...]

**Update 7/1/08 - I went again and it will seriously be the last time. My friend, who doesn’t live here anymore, wanted to go. So I relented. I ordered the Cheesesteak Sliders and they were underseasoned and underinspired. The beef was dry and overcooked. Did they lose their chef? Too bad. I really liked them.**
From left to right, it’s [...]

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 [...]
