Froggy Bottom Pub, Washington, D.C.

Wednesday evening while my nephew was occupied with some business matters, his visiting friend Brian and I ventured out to catch dinner. We ended up just on the other side of our Metro stop at Froggy Bottom Pub, a bar with an assortment of casual bar-type foods that is just across the street from the GWU campus.

They were going to seat us outside on the patio, but I declined, since the place was stuffed with smokers. We ended up inside in a booth, and that was just fine. We had a great waitress who's a high school chemistry teacher down in Arlington, and she offered up suggestions and opinions as we asked.

We both started with their side salads, which were pretty good as far as those sorts of things are concerned, with nice chunks of cucumber and tomato in addition to the the lettuce. Brian had the "Bottom Cheeseburger" and I had the "Froggy B. Lasagna." I thought the burger looked nice. The patty had been hand-formed and the cheese was melted over the top. It was accompanied by some surprisingly good potato salad made with new red potatoes and what tasted like a mayonaisse/sour cream mix.



My lasagne (their incorrect Italian spelling notwithstanding) was pretty good, too. It was made with real ricotta instead of cottage cheese, and the sauce was rich but way too sweet for my personal tastes (but most people like sweet sauce).
