| - I have been to the District previously for Happy Hour, so my Husband and I decided to try out Dinner to celebrate our Anniversary. We had a great time, and will definitely come back again. We started at the Bar to enjoy some cocktails and an appetizer before sitting down for Dinner. I had made a reservation since it was a Holiday (Jan 1st), but the restaurant was surprisingly empty.
At the bar, we both ordered the sangria ($6 during happy hour). I ordered white and my husband red, we were not a fan of either and it was really disappointing. We ended up switching. My husband also ordered a seasonal cocktail. It was a house made cinnamon eggnog with bacon infused rum and candied bacon ($9). Not being a fan of eggnog myself, this drink was amazing! Well crafted. We also ordered the pretzel bites with fondue cheese and red wine mustard. I wish the District would bring back the old pretzel bites. The new ones are more like pretzel toast as opposed to soft chewy pretzels. However, I do think the red wine mustard is an improvement (not that the old stone ground needed improving).
The District was having a special for dinner and all entries were$22. We were seated by the window and the atmosphere in the dining room was very quiet and romantic. We were served complementary house bread and herbed butter (tarragon grown at the Hotel and local Honey). The butter was so amazing, I found myself wanting to lick the knife! I ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon with risotto. It was okay. I make the mistake of ordering Medium salmon when I should have gotten it rarer. The risotto was not as creamy as I would prefer. My husband ordered the chef's special of the day. It was a 12 oz. rib-eye with winter root vegetables, a cauliflower pure and blueberry demi glaze. I think my Husband thought he had died and gone to heaven. The dish was absolutely perfect! For dinner drinks, I ordered a 602 Mule ($10). The menu listed prickly pear as an ingredient, but it looked more like a standard Moscow Mule. MY husband ordered a glass or red wine ($10). Our waiter was so helpful and even offered to let my husband taste the two wines he was considering. Nothing worse than getting a glass of wine you don't like!
Our waiter brought us a slice of cake since we were celebrating our anniversary. It was very good, but we were so full we had to take it home to enjoy later. The District also give each table cotton candy as an after diner treat. This was unexpected and very enjoyable.
