Quickie Restaurant Reviews

I’m going to start adding in a new segment to the site, with what I’m dubbing as Restaurant Takeaways “Yelp-ish”-style. I figure the big boys at the newspapers and magazines take the cake on their long reviews of restaurants being able to eat there multiple times and get a real sense of the place. I clearly don’t have that luxury. Also on the flip side of things, the Yelpers, bless their hearts, love to make it more about themselves then the actual restaurant. There are way too many complaints due to some inconvenience that probably isn’t a true example of the restaurant.

Either way, wine and food go hand in hand, and obviously restaurants these days are giving us new ways to celebrate and explore the combination. Particularly in and around the nation’s capital there are more and more restaurants everyday with a renewed focus on wine and its pairing with the foods we love.

Anyway, I plan to give you a quick take on the food, the atmosphere, and focus also a bit more on the wine list. I’ve been to too many restaurants where if they spent just a little more time on thier wine list, as they do with their food, it would really even out the experience. I’ll try to do my best to not get caught up in a restaurants bad service unless it seems like its across the board, and I’ll try to provide a relatively unbiased approach to the review. Look for these to be mixed in with the wine reviews and other. They will be short bullet lists of what was good, what was bad, and everything in between.
