The Liberty Tavern, Clarendon
This is the first full meal I’ve had at The Liberty Tavern since Chef de Cuisine Miljohn Dimaano replaced Liam LaCivita (Matt Hill, who recently left Range, has assumed the Executive Chef role for this restaurant group – which includes … Continue reading
Cowboy Cafe, Arlington
(See the May 10, 2011, Review here.) I was on my way to Arrowine, and the allure of Cowboy Cafe’s sign called out to me: “Hot food, cold beer,” it said. There was an open parking spot right there, I … Continue reading

Bistro Vivant, McLean
(See the October 2, 2012, Review here.) I haven’t seen any reviews of Bistro Vivant since Katie Busch replaced Ed Hardy as Chef de Cuisine, and luck happened to put us in McLean right around dinnertime. On a chilly Thursday, … Continue reading

Mykonos, Reston
I’d been to Mykonos 1-2 times in the past (the last time I went, my young dining companion and I had gone ice skating first, and neither of us has skated in over five years). I called to make sure … Continue reading

Oriental Gourmet, Arlington
I’ve been enjoying #S28 on their carryout menu: Fish Fillet and Bean Curd in Hot and Red Bean Sauce ($13.45). While this might sound odd, it has the flavors (sans pork) of a very mild Ma Po Tofu – a lot of … Continue reading

Before a long trip to Baltimore, my young dining companion and I had a Saturday brunch at Artie’s Not having had any caffeine injections that morning, I started with my Diet Coke ($3, cheerfully refilled), while he wisely stuck with his usual … Continue reading

Umami Gourmet Coffee & Exotic Tea Shop, Richmond
About once a year, I find myself in North Richmond not far from Henrico, and three times now, I’ve ended up at Umami, a tiny little family-owned coffee and tea shop, specializing primarily in teas. The shop was decorated for … Continue reading

Ray’s To The Third, Rosslyn
Ray’s Hell-Burger, now being served at Ray’s To The Third, may not be getting the massive world recognition it was getting two years ago (think about the ramifications of this: The President of the United States and The President of Russia … Continue reading

Caffe Aficionado, Rosslyn
On Monday, I jumped in my car and headed over to Caffe Aficionado, computer in tow – they have WiFi. Even though the streets were nearly devoid of traffic pre-Christmas, parking in Rosslyn was still nearly impossible. After about ten … Continue reading
