Looking for a restaurant in mid-town for a BREAKFAST meeting
I tried Del Friscoes, but they don't host breakfast meetings and I'm waiting to hear back from teh Capital Grill. Any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
Looking for a private room for small client dinner
I have a client meeting on Tuesday evening (yes very last minute) and I'm looking for a place with a small private room as there are only six of us. I'd like to stay in the area between 50th and 14th streets and no farther east than Park Ave. Price isn't too much of an issue, but I'd rather not go too high. We're totally open to the type of food.
thanks
Out of towner looking for specific place for drinks
I remember reading about a bar/lounge on a high floor/ rooftop that is supposed to be a great place to get drinks before or after dinner.
I know thsi isn't a great description, but does this sound familiar to anyone and if so what is the name ofthis place?
Thanks
Looking for high end fusion in downtown DC or Bethesda
I have a VIP for work coming into town who's a big food and wine geek. He asked for a few recommendations/options for fusion of any kind. I also plan to send him some of the really great non fusion restaurants we have in the area like Komi, but I would love any ideas. I am totally open and price isn't really an issue. but I do need to stay in the downtown area or Bethesda.
Thanks!
Which Honey Pig is better?
We are equal distance between Annandale and Ellicott City. I'm more inclined to go to Annandale, but would love to hear what others thoughts are.
Also, what are some must eat items. It all looks so good!
THX!
Please recc your favorite (higher end) BYOB
Thanks, all of this feedback is exactly what I am looking for.
Nancy - I read about the Farm and the Fisherman recently and will take a look
As far as brining in flasks, yes, we were thinking about drinks before dinner.
Please recc your favorite (higher end) BYOB
I'm taking my husband to Philly in late March for his birthday and his best friend and his wife are going to meet us. I'm looking for a great BYOB where we can actually have a conversation. I'd like the food to be American, New American, seafood, steakhouse or some sort of asian or asian/fusion. Since we will be able to bring our own wine, pricing isn't really an issue. We are staying in downtown Philly, so I'd like to eat downtown as well.
We will probably go to Tria for drinks beforehand.
I did a chowhound search and didn't see anything on thsi topic, but if I missed a post/thread, please post the link. A few places I'm looking at are: Matyson, Pumpkin, Fond, Cochon, and Bistro 7
Also, a question for a BYOB newbie - can you only bring wine, or can you bring hard alcohol in a flask as well?
Thanks!
Is Brio (a wine and cheese bar) still open
That was it. I guess I got the name wrong. Thank you!
Is Brio (a wine and cheese bar) still open
I'm from out of town and went to this place a few years ago for apps and drinks and can't seem to find it online anymore. Is it still open? If not, can I get some reccs for a great place to go before dinner when I'm back in town in April?
thx!
Anyone been to the Hamilton yet?
I made reservations for next month and I'm curious if anyone has been yet and what the reaction is.

Sushi reccs please
I'm coming to town for a conference next week and would love to find a great place for sushi. I'm staying downtown, so I'd prefer to stay in that area. Price really isn't too much of an issue. I'm happy to take any recommendations.
Thanks!
Looking for unique dining near Hollywood
Are there any asian or concept restaurants in the area. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not looking for your typical italian restaurant or steakhouse. PS(the asian place in the Westin is closed the night we need to do our dinner). The group is about 15 ppl.

Need a very nice restaurant in/near Hollywood
I have a group at work who needs to take clients out in Hollywood. They are staying at the Westin Diplot, but are certainly willing to go 15 minutes away from there. I'm looking for something nicer than Three Forks, but not $150/pp. I would prefer a place that has a private room.
Any help would be apprecaited.

Where to buy cinghiale online
My husband and I are having people over for new years (yes, I'm a planner) and we'd like to try cooking cinghiale, but don't know where to buy it online. Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Looking for multiple restaurants for client dinners
I'm looking for a four or five great restaurants to take clients during a meeting in November. I'm looking for places with great food, that aren't over the top expensive and they must take reservations. Our groups are small, only about five or six people. I'm open to ideas, but i know I need one sushi place and am thinking Ryoko, but if there are better ones, I'm certainly open. I'd love to get a good cross-section of cuisines, asian, italian, steak, vietnamese, etc...
Thank you!

Fells or Upper Fells Recommendations please
Planning a Girls Night Out for Friday and am looking for good food, that's not too expensive in Fells Point or Upper Fells. Pazo and the like would be too expensive, we are looking for something more along the lines of Shucker's or Looney's but different or new.
Thanks!

Networking breakfast in Rockville
Looking for a place for approx. 30 ppl to meet once a week for a networking breakfast early am (about 7:15 - 8:15 a.m.). They would prefer a place with a private room, but it's not mandatory.
Thanks!
Mid-priced dinner for group of ten during a conference
I'm looking for a middle of the road priced restaurant for a group of ten who are coming into town for a conference in a few weeks. They are from South America, but they do have some english speakers in their group. I'd like to stay on the strip, but don't have to. I was thinking about Casa di Amore because they can take the limos the restaurant has available for free. I was also thinking about Mon Ami Gabi, as they have a small private room and Joe's Stone Crab because their menu is so diverse.
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Brunch with parents
My family and I are traveling to the City for my sister's 40th birthday in March. My parents are coming with us. We'd like to go to brunch on the Sunday we'll be in town, but I have a few restrictions. Any recc's would be appreciated.
No place where we can't make a res (I don't want mom to have to wait out in the cold)
No place where it's very noisy (mom doesn't hear so well)
No place too trendy. Tried and true would be best.
Our hotel is midtown and I would prefer to stay in that area, but am open to everything.
Thanks!

Where can I buy a whole duck in DC?
We bought one at our local amish market and are cooking it as we speak (write). Good luck and Happy New Year!
What to do with 25 year old balsamic?
I am at a complete loss. I have no idea what to do with it. We got it as a gift and I am excited to use it, but I just can't figure out what to do. I am open to any and all savory suggestions. This is for NYE tomorrow night. Just the hubs and I cooking at home.
Many thanks!
