Marshall's Bar and Grille, Washington, D.C.

A couple of weeks ago, Leo got home late from the office and wanted to go eat, so we went to the neighborhood "utility" restaurant, Marshall's Bar and Grille for a quick dinner.

Leo had an interesting daily special Mediterranean penne pasta dish with sundried tomatoes, garlic, black olives, and mozzarella cheese.



I had a daily special seafood salad. The term "seafood salad" just does not adequately describe this delicious salad. The base of the salad was some kind of puffy bread, which I guess must have been some kind of southern or western Asian flatbread. On top of the bread was a layer of regular, iceberg-heavy, salad greens. But on top of that was a wonderful melange of excellent seafood, including shrimp, scallops, and squid rings, all in large quantity, tossed with chopped tomato and onions, and dressed in a light, spicy, lemony dressing. Large lemon slices had been cut and put together like a three dimensional lemon slice and used to crown the top of the seafood. It was all so good, I practically wanted to lick the plate.



Leo had one of those weird cosmopolitan-type drinks, but I forgot which one. He said it was too sweet (which is why I drink ultrapremium gin martinis very very dry and without any weird little additions or adulterations). Meanwhile, I stuck to my iced tea.
