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

๐Ÿ“ **The Dabney, Washington D.C.** โญ This restaurant, hailed as one of the best among Washingtonโ€™s 100 top eateries, felt a bit overrated to me. ๐Ÿ˜‚ The appetizers were impressive, but the main course and dessert were just average. I probably wonโ€™t be back for a second visit. The ambiance, however, was niceโ€”quiet with an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work and even see the wood-fired grill. ๐Ÿ”ฅ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Potato Crisps with Blueberry Sauce** โ€” Delightful! The first bite was a revelation. The potatoes were super thin and crispy. ๐Ÿฅ” ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Butter and Cabbage Bites** โ€” Perfect for a quick snack, these were quite tasty. ๐Ÿฅฌ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Hoppin's Cake** โ€” Just okay. ๐Ÿฐ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Fish** โ€” Lacked flavor. ๐ŸŸ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Tomato and Fava Beans** โ€” Not my favorite. ๐Ÿ… ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Maryland Blue Crab** โ€” Decent and fresh. It tasted a bit like the tentacles on takoyaki. ๐Ÿฆ€ ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Main Course: Pork Tenderloin** โ€” The meat was nothing special, but the little bread rolls were super fragrant and came with pumpkin-stuffed pork. ๐Ÿ– ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ **Anniversary Special: Caviar Dish** โ€” This was a highlight and actually quite good. ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐Ÿจ **Dessert: Peanut Ice Cream and Chocolate Pie** โ€” Just average. ๐Ÿซ #Foodie #WashingtonDC #DCFood #DCDining #Michelin #MichelinRestaurant #RestaurantReview
