My hubby and I are both vegetarians and one of my pet peeves is going to a restaurant and having to order the same meal because there is only one vegetarian item on the menu (first world problems - I know). Its kind of a bummer. We checked out the District's menu online and the first awesome thing is that their vegetarian entre isn't the requisite portobello mushroom burger or eggplant something-or-other. They totally score points for that.
Since we had plans to meet a coworker of mine there for dinner, I thought I'd give them a call to see if there were any other entre options for vegetarians. This is where the superior service experience began. I asked the woman who answered the phone if they had any additional vegetarian options for dinner. She replied that she'd check with the chef and call me back - not at all what I expected. Generally, the answer to that question is, "Well, we have salads and stuff". When she called back she explained she had spoken to the chef and he'd be happy to specially prepare an additional vegetarian entree for us - a roasted vegetable tart. Again, not at all the response I was expecting - I was more than pleasantly surprised. She included a notation in the reservations about the special meal and we were all set.
So, a few nights later my husband and I met my coworker and had a lovely dinner at the District. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was oh so classy. We were able to enjoy different meals - each veggie entre was delicious and we were beyond happy with the service and the accommodations the District staff were willing to make.
Its a bit pricey but its a swanky place and considering the fabulous service we received I'd say its totally worth it.
