| - I'd heard mixed reviews on MSK so on our regular Friday lunches out, my companion and I decided to see for ourselves and went there yesterday. Atmosphere okay, service Outstanding, food marginal at best. Interesting as we arrived we were 1st offered the bar to sit at, mmmmm, interesting offer, but we declined as the place was 1/3 empty, we opted for a table. As I said the service was outstanding and we could have wanted for nothing more, except better food. Kitschy but limited lunch menu, my companion said "interesting that the menu is 3/4 alcohol" so she opted for the Salmon, Apple, and Brie flatbread, and I had the burger. I always search for the perfect burger. Well this was not it. Impressive yes, muddled flavors YES. Huge bun, green chilies, cheddar cheese, large juicy patty with no flavor and a grilled onion made up the offering. The flat bread was beautiful but so salt laden all my friend did is drink water the rest if the day to not dry up from the inside out. I'd possibly recommend MSK for cocktails after work, but for a meal, I'll not be back. We'd had such an AMAZING lunch last week at Searsucker in Fashion Square (fir less $'s) which made our trip to MSK seem so insignificant and not worth the calories. Hopefully something can be done to 'right the ship' at MSK, as DC Ranch Marketplace is ripe for another restaurant to compliment the offerings there.
So don't say I didn't warn you!
