Restaurant Week - Round 3

It's August again and Congress is in recess, so the restaurants have to lure in the non-expense account types with their $35 three-course dinners.

Friday we went to Ruth's Chris in Dupont Circle again (see January Restaurant Week post). Same menu, same deliciousness.

Saturday we went to DC Coast on K Street (the official address for the city's lobbyist lawyers). We will definitely be back again even if we have to pay full price! The service was awesome, which is often a complaint during RW. The food was really fun.

Here's what I had to eat in addition to my peach bellini:
  • Soup du jour: corn chowder finished with guaucamole pico de gallo
  • Tower of Crab: soft-shell crab and crab cake over sweet corn succotash
  • Almond creme brulee

Here's what Jason had to eat in addition to his 21-year Balvenie Portwood:

  • Warm balsamic glazed shrimp with wilted spinach and crostini
  • Peppercorn-encrusted yellow-fin tuna with Asian rice and stir-fry
  • Chocolate pound cake with vanilla ice cream
