Editorial Review

Where Obama's new elite come to eat. Cream-colored booths frame fashion victim still-lifes. Table of power gays confer, "No way she's from DC." Crazy mismatched light fixtures—wait, I get it. Random, wall-sized mug shots of Gandhi, Thatcher (?). Visual food art upstages expensive, small-batch wines. Colorful, knockout sauces brighten impeccable meat standard-mint julep as demi-glace, wow. Amusing, tasty touches like the crabapple centerpiece and Kobe beef corndogs. Homemade down to the zucchini pickles.
