west end bistro


washington, dc

website

the best part of having meetings in DC is that it gives me a chance to catch up with friends - anthony, eric, and jenny met me for dinner at the westend bistro in foggy bottom. westend bistro is billed as "by eric ripert" - whatever that means. eric ripert is a famous chef in nyc, known for his three michelin-starred restaurant le bernadin. a big name, so i had high hopes for the meal.

unfortunately, my escargots and wild mushrooms over grits was a bit heavy. i prefer escargots when they're kept in the shells and doused in butter and garlic. the heaviness of the appetizer prevented me from enjoying the hamburger, i could only eat about half of it. it could be i just ordered poorly, everyone else's dishes looked great - especially the ribeye that eric ordered.
