A little dessert and champagne buffet awaited donors and sponsors at the Kennedy Center Sunday night after the performance of Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter, but Jim, Meredith, and I decided not to stay and went on in quest of dinner, as it was still early by the time we got out about 9:15.
There's nothing worth doing in the Watergate complex anymore, so we walked into Foggy Bottom to go to Notte Bianchi at the George Washington Inn. They closed early. So, we walked to Dish at the River Inn. They were closed. So, we started to walk to Circle Bistro at One Washington Circle Hotel, but Meredith got the big idea to call them before we walked all the way over....and they were already closed! Whatever happened to the concept of Washington being a cosmopolitan, international city that didn't roll up the sidewalks at 9 p.m.? Each of these restaurants, we saw other people trying to eat, as well.
We ended up walking over to Marshall's Bar and Grille, a place I've done multitudinous times, but a new place to Jim and Meredith.
Jim got the linguine al frutti di mare. Since he was away washing his hands when the waiter came, Meredith decided for him that he wanted it with the plain, boring seafood broth instead of the wonderful, rich, cream sauce. It had lots of nice looking scallops.
Meredith and I both got the California chopped salad with grilled chicken, roasted corn, romaine, radicchio, avocado, diced tomato, roasted peppers, blue cheese, bacon, and a simple vinagrette. It's an okay salad, but I never get excited about it.
Didn't get any pictures, since I've had both of these things before and there are probably already pictures in the archives somewhere.
