CityZen: Getting Much More Than My Just Desserts- CLOSED

There was never a question about where my husband and I would dine in celebration of our  29th wedding anniversary.  At least not in my mind.  It is CityZen Restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental all the way.  Never mind that it is the only restaurant in DC with a AAA Five Diamond Award, ranked #6 […]

Bibiana: Once is Not Enough CLOSED

Bibiana is Now Closed One of the dilemmas of having a restaurant review blog is that I always want to try new places so I can write about them.  I don’t have the luxury of being able to try a restaurant more than once before writing a review.  I wish I did because I know […]

Urbana : Hot or Not?

Some reviews are simple to write.  I love a place or I don’t, and the words flow out of me quickly and easily.  Sometimes a dining experience isn’t so clear cut.  I’ve been struggling all week to write about my dinner at Dupont Circle’s Urbana Restaurant and Wine Bar in the Palomar Hotel.  It’s finally […]

Rent, Wicked, The Producers, Book of Mormon, Aida, and Les Miserables are some of my favorites musicals. Next to a good restaurant meal, there is nothing quite like a good Broadway show to get my heart pumping. I’m also a fan of Glee (although it may be jumping the shark).  So when I heard that another […]

Hill Country Barbecue: Beefing Up

I steer away from eating beef on a regular basis  (pun intended).  I am not immune to its charms, but I try to limit my intake to about once a week. This works better for me some weeks than others. I have wanted to dine at Hill Country Barbecue since it debuted in DC last […]

The burger craze continues at Kraze Burgers in Bethesda (closed)

Every now and then I like to sink my teeth into a good burger.  It’s not something I necessarily go out of my way for, but I can appreciate a serving of high quality chopped meat and some select toppings on an occasional basis.  In the DC area, there is a hierarchy in terms of […]
