After going to the National Symphony's annual Labor Day concert on the Capitol lawn last night, we walked down Pennsylvania Avenue to the east and went to Mr. Henry's Victorian Pub for dinner. Mr. Henry's is a very laid back, comfortable kind of place that usually is packed with Capitol Hill staffers, but the Hill is always nearly empty in August and will stay deserted until after the Republican national convention concludes. That made it nice for us, since we could actually talk during dinner without having to shout.
We got the daily special; it being Sunday night, that meant a couple of mini-filet mignon steaks served with sliced potato "French fries" and enough lettuce and tomato slice garnish to constitute a small salad. Their daily specials are only $10.95. The little filets came with a tiny cup of creamed horseradish sauce and were delicious. I also ordered a little side salad with my dinner, primarily to get a taste of their famous pepper parmesan dressing.
Our waiter was very attentive, but, if his shorts had been any tighter, he would have had to have painted them on! I'm glad he didn't drop anything, because I'm sure those shorts would have ripped if he had had to bend over.
After dinner, we Metroed back to Columbia Heights after a very enjoyable night out on the town.
