Rupert's by the old DC Convention Center.

Queen Bee in Clarendon.

I liked Cafe Dalat better. Really miss the old Clarendon in general.

Are they both gone? Shows how long it's been since I used to go out every night!

Poor Roberto is now at Al Dente. Do some google searches on him and you wont feel too sorry for him. An awful businessman and even worse human being. Not sure why anyone would give him another $.

To those who went to American University in the 80's: What was the name of the Italian Restaurant on Wisconsin Avenue that had a bar in the basement (with its own entrance)? It was next door to some artsy fartsy movie theater and served the strongest drinks known to mankind....

I miss a lot of the bars around GW. I'll miss Third Edition in Gtown, even if I hadn't been there in at least 5 years. I really miss Music City Roadhouse. And in VA, I miss Whiteys (though I like Tallula/EatBar a lot) and I am still mourning the demise of Restaurant 3.

Also, I lived in Merrifield for 12 years and one night while pregnant I drove to the late-night taco bell with a craving.... and found a big hole in the ground. They had razed it somehow without me knowing. I was devastated! lol.

But an excellent chef. He may have found his niche in his current situtation.

The Roma on Connecticut Avenue in Cleveland Park. Average food, but great prices for the location, a good family restaurant and a wonderful garden out back.
