From a press release:
Today, Unum, located at 2917 M St. NW in Georgetown, opens to the public, serving dinner seven nights a week. Owners and husband and wife Phillip Blane and Laura Schiller plan to begin serving Saturday and Sunday brunch in this former Mendocino Grille location within the next few weeks.
The intimate and contemporary 50-seat neighborhood restaurant offers new American cuisine in a warm and dynamic space that also includes a 12-seat bar. Blane, who serves as Executive Chef, has created a menu that marries his East Coast cooking experiences with his international travels, so guests can expect to find dishes such as Indian spiced lamb shank with cauliflower, raisins, cashews and cilantro-mint chutney and desserts such as Ricotta beignets with cardamom blueberry sauce. Appetizers are priced $8-12 and entrees $14-$24. The complete dinner menu is included below.
Unum also serves a special bar menu with soups, salads and snacks, such as Cod and chorizo tater tots, creamy truffle mac and cheese, an Unum burger, and a selection of cheese and charcuterie.
Unum offers more than a dozen wines by the glass, as well as a 60+ bottle list, and a rotating selection of craft beer and cocktails. The wine list has a strong focus on California wines as well as labels from old and new world wine regions, with an emphasis on value selections in the $30 to $60 price range.
Unum is located at 2917 M St. NW, Washington DC. For reservations or more information, please call 202-621-6959 or visit the website at www.unumdc.com

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
