Two words: Spicy. Meatballs. If these words caught your attention, then read on and start getting hungry. Roti, has just launched its newest menu item that is full of flavor, protein, and deliciousness – The Spicy Meatballs. And the best part (well at least for me and my gluten-free friends, […]
Restaurant Review
Petits Plats: Fine French without the Frills
Someone once told me Woodley Park feels a little bit like it has been frozen in time. With its odd collection of restaurants, mixing the likes of Nando’s and Dunkin Donuts (no hate here, I’m a Boston girl) with unique establishments like Petits Plats, and Open City – I can’t say I […]

Craving Lobster? Head to Fiola!
Do you like lobster? There are a lot of good places to get lobster in the Washington, DC area….but you should ignore all of them and head to Fiola. Having recently been awarded a Michelin Star didn’t change a thing about what many consider the best lobster dishes in the […]
Convivial Brunch: Seafood Lover’s Rejoice
The charming French-American food that is often as whimsical as it is delicious served at Convivial reflects the personality of it’s owner and Executive Chef Cedric Maupillier. Charming yet sincere; presenting good food with humility. A change from his first solo restaurant, Mintwood Place, the food at his Shaw hotspot feels […]
WTF Aren’t You at Woodward Table?
Large, downtown DC restaurants often don’t last long. The rent is insane, they must turn over multiple lunch, dinner…dare we say…brunch or breakfast covers (gasp) and do so with quality service, decor, and food that their smaller compatriots nestled in the nearby suburbs (Shaw comes to mind) can manage a […]
Pop in to Miracle on 7th Street, the Christmas Pop-Up Bar
I finally bit the bullet, and got in the cold, outdoor line for Miracle on 7th Street. Fifty minutes later, my group got in. While I’m normally not one for the cold, I’d say it was definitely worth the pain. No other place in DC has Christmas spirit quite like […]
Luxury Movies and Beautiful Bread Baskets at City Perch Kitchen + Bar
Before last month, I had neither heard of the White Flint metro stop nor set foot anywhere near it. The land of Bethesda – as most downtowners know it – is confined to the second location of Georgetown Cupcake or the main strip packed with restaurants like Brickside Food and […]

Now maybe I’m being a diva, but I am getting so sick of bottomless brunches with horrible quality food. If I’m going to eat out, I don’t want it to be an absolute waste of my money. So let’s make a pact to eat GOOD brunches from now on, ok? […]
A Reason to Cross the River: Evening Star Cafe
I’m going to keep this short simple: VIRGINIA IS NOT THAT FAR AWAY. Hop in an uber, grab a car, or metro across the river (heck you can even bike), and you will expand your dining options ten-fold…And then you will be disappointed that you didn’t do it sooner. Of […]
