The review of DeCarlo’s from the last issue of the Watch, erroneously failed to mention that I was introduced to DeCarlo’s by Bob and Rita and I have undoubtedly been there with them more than any other persons. Continue reading “Restaurant Note”

Note: Restaurant reviews published before March 2017 are available here.
Restaurant: Tria
Debbie and I had dinner at the Tria on a recent trip to Dearborn.
As you enter the restaurant from the lobby of the hotel there is a bar at the right that seats 12. Above the bar are two very large TVs that can be easily seen throughout the restaurant. Continue reading “Restaurant: Tria”
Restaurant: Buck’s Fishing & Camping
Peter and Florence and Debbie and I went to Buck’s. Peter told us that Buck’s serves the best steak in the city, too large to finish in a single sitting or by one person alone. Continue reading “Restaurant: Buck’s Fishing & Camping”
Restaurant: 1310 Kitchen & Bar
[I should note that I have previously written about restaurants that are owned and operated by women:
- I Ricchi – Christine Ricchi, owner/chef – This is the restaurant at which I have the most meals in any given year
- ris – Ris Lacoste, owner/chef]
1310 Kitchen & Bar and DeCarlo’s represent the new and the not so new with both comfort and good food in common.
Remember the Daily Grill? (WW Aug 2005) Its Georgetown location closed sometime last year and 1310 Kitchen & Bar opened in its space on the main floor of the Georgetown Inn.
The executive chef and operator is Jenn Crovato. Crovato has a long successful culinary career in D.C., including time at Galileo, Susan Gage Catering, as a personal chef and doing independent catering. She also trained in Italy. Continue reading “Restaurant: 1310 Kitchen & Bar”
Restaurant: DeCarlo’s
WW has eaten at DeCarlo’s for dinner and sometimes for lunch for more years than I can recount. Yet for reasons I cannot explain, WW has never written about this restaurant. Continue reading “Restaurant: DeCarlo’s”
Restaurant: Espita Mezcaleria
I have not written about restaurants serving Mexican food because many years ago I decided that Mexican cuisine was not among my favorite cuisines. After dinner at Espita Mezcaleria I am rethinking that judgement. Continue reading “Restaurant: Espita Mezcaleria”
Restaurant: XOCHI
Debbie and I went to this restaurant with Steve, Rachel, Max, Coby, Jen, Ben, Abby, Eli, William, Dale and Susan.
As you enter the restaurant there are sections of tables to the right and left and just past the entrance there is an L shaped bar that seats 21 people. Overall the restaurant seats 190 people inside and another 60 people on the patio. There are a series of 2, 4, 5, 6 tops as well as larger tables including the one at which we were seated. Continue reading “Restaurant: XOCHI”
Restaurant: Sababa
First it was Ardeo + Bardeo. Two restaurants side by side and interconnected. Then Ardeo closed and Bardeo became Bindaas offering Indian Street food. Then Ardeo reopened as Sababa, a stylish bistro for Israeli fare. Continue reading “Restaurant: Sababa”
Restaurant: Fresh Baguette
Fresh Baguette recently opened a third store on Wisconsin avenue in Georgetown at a location that Debbie and I pass several times a week. One Sunday morning with Carol joining us we made a stop. Continue reading “Restaurant: Fresh Baguette”
Restaurant: Spices
Debbie and I went to Spices with Rita and Bob. Rita suggested the restaurant. The restaurant seats 96 people at various 2, 4 and 6 tops plus 12 seats at the bar. Continue reading “Restaurant: Spices”
Restaurant: San Lorenzo
(A reminder: I only write about restaurants I believe are worth trying and would patronize again. If I don’t like the restaurant, I don’t write about it.)
We went to San Lorenzo with Virginia and Tom at Tom’s suggestion.
San Lorenzo opened at the end of June. It is the creation of Chef Massimo Fabbri, most recently of Tosca and before that, Posto. Massimo stopped by our table to chat. Continue reading “Restaurant: San Lorenzo”
Restaurant: Siren
Debbie and I went to Siren with Rita and Bob two days after the announcement was made that the restaurant had been awarded a Michelin Star. Continue reading “Restaurant: Siren”
