Catching Up at Kellari

Last weekend, for DC Restaurant Week, we had a girls night out dinner that was extra fun; our friend, Jeannette, was visiting from Seattle and was able to join us for dinner!  We went to Kellari Taverna for a delicious Greek meal.  The food was heavenly and the conversation hilarious.  We had an excellent time catching up, overeating, and enjoying some tasty (and perhaps too strong) cocktails.  We began our adventure with a drink at the bar where the restaurant had a HUGE cheese plate (seriously, the thing weighed more than me) and dish of olives to munch on with our beverages.  When we sat down, our friendly waiter brought over some fish for our viewing pleasure.  After dinner, we received a huge cutting board with a sampling of every Greek dessert imaginable.  I would highly recommend Kellari if you've never been!

I told you the cheese plate was huge!  Look at its size compared to Jill and me!

Courtney moved the day before our dinner.  She asked her husband to unpack a pair of flats for her to wear, and these are the shoes he gave her

Fresh catch of the day!

Hello dessert plate!

Did you go anywhere for Restaurant Week this summer?

Kings and Pawns, Emperors and Fools

The greater D.C. area has been experiencing one of hottest weeks on record.  There doesn't seem to be much relief from the heat anywhere you go!  Friday, the girls and I decided to venture out in the sweltering heat to try a new restaurant for happy hour and dinner.  We went to a variety of places for drinks, but had to hurry inside to get away from the stifling heat and into the cool air conditioning.

We had cocktails and dinner at Cava, which opened July 7 in Clarendon.

All of the cocktails, snacks, and entrees we had were fabulous, I would highly recommend!



This deliciousness is the lollipop chicken.  It is fried chicken in yogurt, honey, and walnuts.  Mouth-watering goodness!!



 After dinner, we worked our way through the outside-sauna to hit up some of the local hotspots.
