Just a Lemonade

So Sarah and I set out for just a lemonade today and ended up getting into this friends and family opening at a new restaurant in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood. We walked up to the owner and told him we would love to try out the restaurant and tell the 40 other people we live with just down the street exactly how good it is. So he asked if we were 21 then said, "Ok ladies. The deal tonight is that everything is free. So be sweet and tip well. Joel, will you find these ladies a seat at the bar." Done. Our night began. After the first 3 virgin drinks we got two amazing appetizers, 2 life changing entrees, and 3 deathly desserts. I thought the best thing we ate was the salmon with pomegranate glaze. But the almond bread pudding with home made pistachio ice cream was a close second. We also made a ton of friends with the servers and the bar tenders, left a large-ish tip, gave a pretty smile, flipped our hair, and walked out with our 4 bags full of leftovers to share with our friends back at the Barlow because they wouldn't believe us otherwise. The owner, Steve, was very gracious and we told them all just how great the food and service really was. Basically I could not stop laughing the WHOLE night. We were so lucky. It's called Circa and is the newest of 3 in D.C. Great service, great food prices, wonderful management, metro accessible, highly recommended.
