Editorial Review

What comes before retro? Reblossoming of Washington's premiere politico dining refuge is a quiet hit among class-conscious, alas target market is mostly dead. Ghosts of Kennedys past play with grand piano keys, Julia Child beams proudly from heaven-she adores the Dover Sole and shrimp cocktail. Off-red is the color of royalty, velour cushions, checkered napkins. Off the chart wines for those who know a nice bottle of Chateau Mouton Rothschild. The only Champagne Violette served this decade.
