Hell’s Kitchen DC

So we went to this place at our last minute stop to DC. It’s located by the wharf area.

Everything we had was on point, and would do it again.

For appetizers, got the shrimp cocktail and the beef Wellington (the beef Wellington is supposedly a must have, and usually not an appetizer, but we wanted to try it out).

For the main course, did a little surf and turf.got the 8oz sirloin (medium well, which they cooked just right) and lobster (we also got a side of Mac and cheese snd asparagus).

For desert got the toffee bread pudding. It was so good.

For drinks, had an espresso martini and an old fashioned. None of them made me hung over the next day.

Chicago Q

We went to this place before going to The Second City in Chicago.

Had a Prosecco for a drink. Always great.

For the main, got the pulled chicken. I would definitely order it again (but it was a lot). (Adding bbq sauce to it was key). For sides, the Mac and cheese was bomb.

Olla Cocina

Felt like getting some Mexican tapas, and this place had some good ones.

To start, I got the Mai Tai Pina. I definitely enjoyed the hint of Pina Colada flavouring.

For the tapas, we got four of them. All of them but one were good. From best to worst: the Mac and cheese, the carne tacos, the empanadas, and the calamari (usually I like calamari, but this one was not good).

Martins West Gastropub

Straight off, I thought the food and the drinks were really great. The food portions is a bit small for the price, but still I was very satisfied.

For drinks I got a martini (not sure of the name, but it had grapefruit, and it it was still very sweet), and something called a new fashion (a sweet twist to an old fashion. It had some Apple liqueur in it).

For food, we got one appetizer, and three shareable plates. The appetizer was wings (which without the sauce, I thought they were cooked really good, not dry at all). The shareables were an octopus salad (also cooked just right), Mac and cheese, and pork belly toast.

The Farmer’s Union

I would come back to this place, but probably stick to the appetizers.

For a drink, I got an old fashioned and a something else (which I can’t remember he name or whether it was good. Hmm ;)).

For appetizers, we got the poutine, calamari and Mac and cheese. All of them but the poutine I would get again.

For the main course, I got the pork shoulder. It was ok, but I would choose something else to eat for next time.

Update (6/8/18): I got the Fried chicken, and I gotta say that it was pretty good. Also, I tried the dennoginizer double IPA (suggested by Yuriy), and I will definitely come back for it.

Eureka!

Came here with my team for a team lunch (not on Apple’s dime), and overall, not sure if I would come back.

I ordered the grilled chicken tacos, with a side of Mac cheese balls (basically Mac and cheese surrounded by a deep fried layer). I have to say I wasn’t a fan of the tacos (the taco shell was not super tasty… very “corny”).

For the drink, I ordered the Eureka! punch, which from the ingredient list had a lot going on (over 10 things in it). It was sweet, but too the point of too sweet even for me.

Mon Ami Gabi

Service at this restaurant was slow, but the food was really good.

For my drink, I got a mango martini (not on the menu, but the bartender was excited to make it). It was just the right sweetness.

For food, I had the salmon, which came with mashed peas. MMM. I also got a side of macaroni gatton (spelling?). Also really amazing.

Overall, I left pretty full and satisfied.
