Last night we came here again for an early birthday dinner for my husband. This is the first restaurant that requires a proof of vaccination status if you dine inside that we have been to! The Washington Room is closed but the Oyster Bar is open. We were seated first inside as they didn’t have anything outside. Luckily they had a table for us and we moved. Perfect sunny weather was just incredible. The view is beautiful with a reflecting pool and lovely landscaping.

We started with a smoked blue fish brioche toast appetizer and oysters:
Entrees. I really wanted two appetizers. One was like a play on eggplant parm and the other was tomatoes, burrata, walnuts. YUM. I feel like I need to get all my seasonal eating in. My husband had pork with homemade pappardelle. Yummy but too spicy for me:
Although stuffed, we muscled up and ordered a blackberry funnel cake. It was awesome but I wouldn’t really have lead with blackberry. It was mostly a pudding with the cake and a tiny layer of jam. Not like we didn’t eat nearly every crumb ha!
Really such a beautiful dinner. Lovely drinks, good service. Amazing food. The perfect weather didn’t hurt either!
