Buck's Fishing and Camping
Aaargh = shrimp&grits(3 small shrimp,nasty small sausage, scant grits),felt sick afterwards. Too much vinegar in gazpacho, only 3 fried green tomatoes(unflavored),boring deviled eggs,$46 steak with too much fat. Plums in dessert full of pits with no warnings given.
Try Carlyle(10-12 shrimp),Indigo landing(6 shrimp+sides).

Sorry you didn't like it, anon - it's funny, I had the exact meal last week and loved it. I think that steak is one of the best in town.

The photo is of the Latino Dim Sum brunch. But the brunch offers some of the same/similar dishes as minibar.

ENTERTAIN } For The Love Of Salt

I'm bidding a reluctant adieu to summer on this first day of fall and looking back with fond memories on one of the season's highlights — our Summer Salt Fest at the Gordy's Pickle Jar headquarters. Ever since opening Salt & Sundry three years ago, I've been dreaming of a down-home party that celebrates all things salty. With the perfect partners in crime, Sarah and Sheila of Gordy's, and my phenomenal team at Salt & Sundry, we hosted a gathering of good friends and toasted our shared love of salt.

Gordy's Sweet Chips and Cajun Okra dipped in roasted garlic aioli. There was crisp Virginia rosé from Early Mountain Vineyards , local brews from 3 Stars and DC Brau , and a watermelon cooler tha...
