Rye Bar, Capella Hotel, Georgetown
On an absolutely *frigid* Monday evening, I drove to Georgetown, only to find K Street blocked off, and I was diverted onto the Whitehurst Freeway, where I was spit out near the Key Bridge. Turning right on M Street, I … Continue reading

The Grill Room, Capella Hotel, Georgetown
(For the Jan 4, 2016 Review, click here.) “Oh, my *God*!” Earlier in the day, I had told my young dining companion that I wanted to take him to a super-deluxe, special meal to celebrate his first semester in college. … Continue reading
