6) Tomato – Fennel and Basil 🍅

The restaurant @theritzlondon serves perhaps the best cuisine I’ve eaten to date for a one-Michelin-star restaurant. Except for accolades from a few experienced foodies who’ve dined here and know how good the cooking is, this hotel establishment doesn’t seem to command as much attention these days. That’s a shame because I can’t wait to go back. It’s a place I wouldn’t mind returning to on every trip to London. The food, service, and setting are simply top-notch! 🤤👏😋

Lutèce could likely succeed anywhere in Washington, DC. But le bijou bleu of Georgetown is most at home in a neighborhood that seamlessly melds historic and modern sensibilities. Among the cobblestone streets and quaint shops is where this neo-bistrot thrives with cooking born of esteemed heritage. But it is also cuisine that is not afraid to unshackle from its French identity and flirt with fun. It exercises complete liberty to incorporate contemporary flavors as it pleases, as much for creative expression as for pure recreational pursuit 🥘

With simplicity and seasonality at the forefront, Lutèce serves delicious food that balances flavors and textures in a well-executed fashion. Word-of-mouth praise along with local and external accolades from major publications is testament to its consistently solid delivery over the last few years. The restaurant has a distinct viewpoint; it is unconcerned with looking like everyone else. Their mindset, through principle and repetition, ensures they don’t resemble anyone else here 👏

This manner of cooking doesn’t always generate headlines or elicit over-the-top proclamations on social media. Lutèce’s approach is a slow and accidental way of falling in love, like an ever-warm glow sustained by returned visits and prolonged talks over many nights—and often deep into each evening. Dining here is a charm that grows into deep amour, the kind that inspires and refreshes itself with each new service 💙

All this is driven by a staff at the top of their current game and yet not at the peak of their potential. This team has changed and grown much as the pandemic forced the industry into quick transition. Ever buoyed from past and recent recognition, from nearby NYC back to the immediate community, Lutèce feels comfortable but not quite settled. Not just yet. A restaurant with this kind of stirring in its heart makes for one of the loveliest dining experiences in the national capital region. Or honestly, anywhere in the US at the moment 🇺🇸

In the parlance of a certain ranked list, @lutecedc is my one to watch 👀 Less

3) Pork and Lychee Salad ❤️

This might be the strangest salad I’ve ever eaten. On the surface level, given the eclectic components, it doesn’t seem like it should work. But the combined taste of the ingredients is truly marvelous. In hindsight, the creativity behind the dish is ingenious. No wonder it has endured on the menu since the beginning 🤤😋

AN ODE TO ROSE 🌹

Sing hi hi ho, for a guy friends called Art and a gal they called Rose
Their spirits inspired this restaurant, to their memories we always toast! 🍾🥂

Sing hey, nonny no for the grandson favored most
Aaron is the owner and chef and sometimes also the host 🕺

When you dine here, the awesome staff delivers like no other
A grand time for all, even the most difficult of mothers 👵

So won’t you reserve and come dressed to impress?
Chef Silverman and team promise to give their very best! 👏

At 717 8th St SE is the gathering place for fun
A cocktail to start but there is much more to come! 🍹

Let’s have great food and drinks, maybe even sing and dance 💃
We’ll get cozy and intimate for sure without dropping our pants 😆

Here, we choose pleasure over perfection and fancy over formal
Because when you spend time with us, things never turn out normal 😂

So what do you think, all you fine ladies and gents?
You might arrive as strangers, but you'll surely leave as friends! 🤝

(As inspired by one of Rose’s dinner party invitations)
