DC Dining | The Dabney, a Michelin One-Star Restaurant

📍 The Dabney, Washington D.C. ⭐ This restaurant, hailed as one of the best among Washington’s 100 top eateries, felt a bit overrated to me. 😂 The appetizers were impressive, but the main course and dessert were just average. I probably won’t be back for a second visit. The ambiance, however, was nice—quiet with an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work and even see the wood-fired grill. 🔥 🍽️ Potato Crisps with Blueberry Sauce — Delightful! The first bite was a revelation. The potatoes were super thin and crispy. 🥔 🍽️ Butter and Cabbage Bites — Perfect for a quick snack, these were quite tasty. 🥬 🍽️ Hoppin's Cake — Just okay. 🍰 🍽️ Fish — Lacked flavor. 🐟 🍽️ Tomato and Fava Beans — Not my favorite. 🍅 🍽️ Maryland Blue Crab — Decent and fresh. It tasted a bit like the tentacles on takoyaki. 🦀 🍽️ Main Course: Pork Tenderloin — The meat was nothing special, but the little bread rolls were super fragrant and came with pumpkin-stuffed pork. 🐖 🍽️ Anniversary Special: Caviar Dish — This was a highlight and actually quite good. 😂 🍨 Dessert: Peanut Ice Cream and Chocolate Pie — Just average. 🍫 #Foodie #WashingtonDC #DCFood #DCDining #Michelin #MichelinRestaurant #RestaurantReview
