Editorial Review
Too many puns to count: located inside Washington's historic post office, outrageously modern in that shirt-pulling Kimpton sort of way (get it, get it?). Storybook menu reminds you where your food comes from. The kitchen wants to shock you but plays safe with chi-chi conventions like veal sweetbreads and signature Beef Bourguignon. Escargot? Check. Smiles from hotel guests, families on their way to see Shakespeare. Post-dessert melancholy sets in, "Did this meal matter?"
