| - Dinette is chic and fresh. Inside this stamp-sized dining room, I could have believed that I was transported to Georgetown or Bethesda.
They keep a short rotating menu (in keeping with their local sustainable philosophy, I suppose), though the changing items seem mostly like minor variations. Of their offerings, I like the starters better. The preparations seem more original, and the ingredients more interesting. On this outing, I had the baked bone marrow, which was really excellent. Although their pizzas are made well (crispy thin crust, piping hot), nothing really screamed out unexpected creativity. My eggplant pizza was tasty (though it would have been better with a few more eggplant slices), while my companion's cardoon pizza was sort of bland. I had their chocolate pot de creme for dessert, which was nice and rich. It would have been perfect if they served hot tea in addition to espresso.
The restaurant does end with a Georgetown-sized bill, but I think it was worth it.
