As a neighborhood resident, I can attest to the fact that our options are very limited. Although the service is better than Bistro Boehm, the staff has openly told me that they “don’t particularly cater to people who don’t eat meat”. Couple that with the fact that they’re completely overpriced, and, well, we will not be going back.

Au contraire. We’ve got Bistro Bohem, Beau Thai, and a bit further east, we’ve got Boundary Stone and Rustik. And that’s just getting started. We’re excited about Shaw’s Tavern because it’s a GORGEOUS spot, with a great menu, and because as a neighborhood, we tend to embrace the businesses that take a chance on us.

What makes it great? The fact that it is THE only option in the neighborhood. Residents have nothing else and that makes this place (whether it is or not) the defacto “great” place.

had a delicious dinner there 2 weeks ago. awesome soup, barley risotto with yummy veggies, husband loved the hanger steak. and the bartender poured me a fantastic old fashioned. only complaint: our bill at the end of the night was STEEP.

their pastry basket at brunch is fab.

I hope you’re right. I probably should’ve sent the pizza back so they would know it was disgusting and, hopefully, adjust their ingredients appropriately.

The original owners were denied, but the new owners received the license a few weeks ago. It is a new owner who knows not to forge documents.

I went there recently, and I found the food to be excellent. Maybe they are just working out the kinks since they expanded their menu a few weeks ago.

What is worse 1.) getting killed in the Civil War or 2.) having a drink named after you with Hangar Raspberry Vodka?

This is great because I can learn something, get smashed, forget what I learned, and then be amazed at how much I’m learning the next time I come. Are you listening Smithsonian?
