🥣 Brussels sprouts with a unique preparation, the grapes were super sweet, and the whole bowl was filled with aroma, we devoured it all. 🥗 🥣 Duck sharwarma - I’d say it’s the pinnacle of duck dishes (though it might be because I was really hungry since it was our first course), absolutely delicious! 🦆 🥣 Blue fin tuna naye with spicy sauce - it was just okay, not outstanding but not bad either. 🐟 🥣 Day boat scallops - this was pretty good, scallops seem to be a dish that never disappoints. 🦐 🥣 Halibut - this was the second best dish! I hadn’t seen it mentioned online, but it was really tasty. The sauce had a rich creamy flavor with a hint of freshness, and the dark garnish I thought was mushrooms turned out to be squash, but I suspect it was actually zucchini. The texture was quite intriguing. 🐟 🥣 Bone Marrow + steak tartar - it felt a bit heavy, not as good as the blue duck, not highly recommended. 🥩 🍮 Mixed Baklava - this Middle Eastern pastry looked amazing and tasted great, but it was a bit too sweet for my taste. I could only eat two out of six before feeling full. 🥙 🍮 Mouhalabiyeh - a not-too-sweet milk pudding with crushed pistachios/orange zest, very aromatic, recommended. 🍮 🍮 Ice cream - surprisingly, they had black sesame flavor, which was also good. 🍨 🍸 We ordered two sweet wines, “Thyme After Time” and “It’s A Date,” both were quite pleasant. 🍷 #dmv #dmvfoodie #dmvfoodandfun #dmv_eats #dc #washingtondceats #dcrestauranthunt
