| - I'm a fancy-schmancy New Yorker (by way of San Francisco) so I can be a leee-tle bit snobby when it comes to food. I just moved to Cleveland and I had been on the phone with NYC friends bemoaning, "oh my goodness, I'm going to STARVE here." Well, I'm happy to report that I won't be starving with Washington Bistro being walking distance to my house.
I love the original decor of the place. Unlike many good restaurants where you still feel like a pig at the trough with dozens of other pigs, just shoving food through your snout, the separate rooms of the restaurant allows for a more intimate and elegant dining experience. Elegance aside, I love the crunchy-granola soul of the place. The food is locally sourced and the lamb I ate was grass-fed. And it tasted accordingly. it was scrumptious. And then there was dessert...om nom nom nom!
In brief, take it from this former New Yorker, Washington Bistro puts a lot of NYC restaurants to shame. Cleveland does indeed rock!
Psst! I also hear they have this Wednesday night thing where you get good food for two and a bottle of wine for...wait for it, $40. Guys, here is a date that won't break the bank but still have the lady thinking you're a classy guy. Ooooh, yeah.
