Editorial Review

Très rustique fake stone farmhouse inside a city block near Georgetown. Vaulted, cream-colored ceiling mimics the wine cellars of Picardy. Red gold tapestries soften Washington's well-heeled, Cinderella's copper pots hang from the walls, decorous dried twigs fill giant vases. Piano man tinkles away at the wine bar, adding Manhattanese mojo to Euro fanfare. All the French fancies (snails, quail eggs, foie gras, and tartare). Learn how to say steak and potatoes in twenty words or more.
