  Really liked the Seoma Cabernet they were pouring. The smoked salmon was recommended and I have to say that it did taste good. I was mainly after a Caesar salad when I walked in, which I had & it was really good as well. The prices didn’t set me back too much either, which is what...

• Tackle Box

  I though the Tackle Box was a decent place for fish. The atmosphere is very interesting, with long wooden tables with benches. Unlike the other reviewers I had the Maine Meal (1 entree, 2 sides and a sauce) that wasn’t fried, opting to go with the grilled trout and asparagus and cornbre...

• La Tomate

  I have passed this restaurant many times as it is located at a prime location in Dupont and when a Groupon became available, I jumped at the chance to try it out. The atmosphere is a bit stuffy inside the restaurant and cramped – it is very narrow in the area we were seated. The ...

• Thai Tanic Restaurant

  After a long absence, I returned to Thai Tanic yesterday. I was glad that I did. With two friends, we split two apetizers (spring rolls and satay). The spring rolls were among the best I have had in a while. The satay were ok but the sauce was a bit too sweet. I ordered one of...

  In a city like Washington, with its myriad embassies, universities and employers, there is certainly no shortage of restaurants, and just about every cuisine on the planet is represented.
