[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Sietsema is great.  If you don't like him stick with the other reviewers in the Post.  Or the Washingtonian.[/quote]

He is friends with Jose Andres and constantly over-hypes Jaleo and MiniBar.  Hint to Tom: when the owner brings you a gratis cheese plate "that rocked my world" you're getting special treatment.

He thinks Bombay Club is something special when it's really just a faux Raj experience for the expense account set, and [b]God help you if you're in a party of Tamils. [/b] There are better albeit small Indian restaurants in DC.[/quote]

[b]Haha!! Can you please, please say more about this? :-) My in-laws are Tamil. The last time I ate at Bombay Club was years ago, when the Malabar Lobster I ordered was RUBBERY AS HELL and completely inedible. We had brought friends from out of town there, and I was actually embarrassed by the food. [/b]

Jaleo is fnothing special. Same for Rasika except the fried spinach, which you can now find at other places. Le Diplomat was ordinary, though I enjoyed the French-y atmosphere. Agree with the PPs shout-out to Estadio. [/quote]

Another Bombay Club hater here. I love Indian food, and the last time I had the Sunday brunch buffet, nothing was good. There was barely any meat included and a lot of potato dishes. [/quote]
