I met up with Lauren to try a Mediterranean restaurant from Top Chef alum Mike Isabella. She had been wanting to go there and I love TC, so it was a great choice for us both. All of the food was excellent, and despite being tapas style, the plates were kind of large so we got a lot of food. There are definitely many more options than when I lived in DC but this a great choice for this kind of food.
 |
| Brussel Sprouts - candied pistachios, butternut squash and berbere spice. Great flavors and the sprouts had a nice char |
 |
| Charred Octopus - grilled harissa, grilled eggplant and roasted tomato. Octopus was perfectly cooked and again, SO many flavors. Delicious |
 |
| Marinated Lamb - grains, roasted apple, prune, and toasted walnut which a yogurt sauce. Possibly my fav dish. Large portion and lamb was so tender |
 |
| It was Monday so we also ordered the Moussaka special - kind of a lasagna but with a Mediterranean spin. So delicious. The best I've had |
 |
| Roasted Duck Phyllo Pie - with cress, cherries and pistachio yogurt. |
 |
| It was tasty but pie skin was a tad burned for me |
 |
| Greek Diner - apple bread pudding, walnut, golden raisin, and salted caramel ice cream. This was divine but was pretty full by the time this came out. Perfect mix of flavors and I didn't mind the raisin shockingly. I think because the golden ones was milder |
