Editorial Review

Culinary layover between White House and Capitol; outdoor awning protects sun-shy power brokers from harmful rays, but all around glares permit collective assessment of who's here doing what. Every time a cork pops out of a bottle of $70 Syrah, an Indian reservation gets a casino. Taupe. Food presentation credits Mary Cassatt's palette, taste and texture more Queen Elizabeth's palate. Special caviar menu to establish rank.
