Cava

Editorial Review

Rustic, suburban wine bar/resto opens doors to Waspy Capitol Hill. Distressed wood doors and weathered, stucco-esque walls want so much to be that tumbledown farmhouse on Crete but endless wine racks and sophisticated plates disrupt the mirage. Zesty lemony Greek mezze for pairing, from grilled haloumi to spicy lamb sliders. Happy hour heavy with policy talk, moves into lingering dinnertime toasting. Senate hill staffers in off-the-rack Banana Republic crave the ouzo pineapple martinis.
