Zena's (the proprietor) knowledge is only exceeded by her welcoming personality. The other half is a small cafe where she serves a rotating cast of wines by the glass or bottle.

They are life altering good. The third half of the store (math is not my thing) is a wine focused curio shop. Much of the merchandise is vintage bar ware that you just can't find. Lots of good R-rated coasters and tea towels as well. If you are in National Landing for any reason you should stop by this little gem.

As it turned out, both the talk and the fries were surprisingly good. The fries were crispy and generously covered with a melted cheese-like sauce, a white sauce, plenty of jalapeño peppers, and lots of tasty bacon pieces. It's the kind of thing you'd expect to find at a sports bar, but these were executed better than expected. The fries stayed crisp under the toppings, the bacon added plenty of flavor, and the jalapeños brought just enough heat to keep every bite interesting. It was classic sports bar food, just done unusually well.

**Happy Hour with a View at Ruth's Chris, Crystal City**…read more We stopped by Ruth's Chris Steakhouse on Crystal Drive in Arlington for happy hour, partly to wait out the rush hour traffic on I-395. It turned out to be the perfect way to spend the evening. The restaurant sits on the 11th floor, and we grabbed seats at the bar facing the window, with a great view of Reagan National Airport and the Metro trains passing by. We started with a Sam Adams and a Coke to quench our thirst, then ordered the 16 oz NY Strip cooked medium and a side of garlic mashed potatoes to share. The steak was cooked exactly to our liking, and since we prefer ours simply seasoned with salt and pepper, it let the quality of the beef shine. The mashed potatoes were a surprise: the portion was so generous that it was almost too much for the two of us. The woman sitting next to me even offered to share hers because her serving was so large. I thanked her and told her we'd ordered the same thing! After a couple of relaxing hours and a couple of beers, we headed home once the traffic had eased. If you're in the area, Ruth's Chris is well worth a visit. You won't be disappointed.

My friend and I stopped by the Water Park for dinner, and because I wasn't too hungry, I decided to…read moregrab a slice from Crush. I've tried a bite of the pizza in the past and thought it was pretty good, so I wanted to finally get my own! The line was a few people long, and it didn't take too long for my slice to be ready. MARGHERITA SLICE - 5.50 The slice was on the smaller side, but I wasn't going to argue since I wasn't too hungry to begin with. But after tax, it was 6.05, which is kind of pricy for just a slice. The margherita slice didn't really look like a margherita slice. It looked more like cheese pizza with a few shriveled pieces of basil and a random slice of tomato, which I have yet to see on any margherita pizza. The flavor was fine, but I also accepted that it's just a cheese slice with a single tomato slice. Maybe I need to try a different pizza if I return in the future. It's just a bit expensive, but that's Water Park for ya!

I've had inconsistent experiences here, and unfortunately, things have gone downhill since my first…read morevisit. I really enjoyed the pizza the first time around, but it hasn't lived up to that standard since. On my most recent visit this week, I ordered the lunch special: a slice of supreme pizza, a "Greek salad," and a drink. I took my bag to the waterpark area, ready to enjoy my meal. But when I opened the salad, I was immediately disappointed. It was a barebones version of a traditional Greek salad--just peppers, olives, onions, tomatoes, and cucumber topped with feta. No Romaine lettuce, even though it's listed as an ingredient for the Greek salad on their ToastTab online ordering page (see image). Wanting to clarify, I walked back to the restaurant and asked about the missing lettuce. The employee informed me--bluntly--that the salad doesn't come with it. When I asked if I could have some, her response was dismissive: she motioned toward the register and said, "Sure, you can have some lettuce, if you pay for it." Had she handled it more politely, it wouldn't have left such a sour taste. To add to the confusion, there are two menu photos posted on Yelp that describe the Greek salad as including Romaine. However, the printed menu at the restaurant has since changed, and the lettuce has been quietly removed. So buyer beware--what you see online may not match what's served. Between the misleading menu and the rude customer service, I'm not sure I'll be returning.

Its proximity to DCA…read moreand my hotel isn't the reason I keep coming back--it's the professional service, welcoming atmosphere, and consistently great food. It doesn't matter if it's a dreary Tuesday night or you're at the bar debating whether the Commanders should become the Redskins again--it's always a great place to be. Where else do you find yourself sharing your fries because someone says, "That crab cake looks so good," and you casually cut it in half? That's the kind of place this is. The patrons are among the friendliest I've encountered anywhere (a special thanks to the regulars). On one packed football night, there wasn't a seat available in the house. Guess what happened? A group of loud, hungry, football-loving fans squeezed me in at their table like we'd known each other for years. Okay, let's get to the food. Did I mention the crab cakes? Remember, I'm a native Washingtonian from blue crab country. They're not the best crab cakes between Baltimore, DC and Annapolis (competition is fierce) --but they are the best $21 crab cake sandwich I've foun, served on a brioche bun with fries and coleslaw. Ever been to Bourbon Street? The Bourbon Street Chicken & Shrimp brings those flavors to your table, with blackened chicken and shrimp drizzled in a sweet bourbon glaze over creamy mashed potatoes. Now for the cholesterol... those huge, crispy onion rings are fried to perfection. Love pasta? Try the Chicken Alfredo. It's generously portioned with grilled chicken, broccoli, and a rich Alfredo sauce that's perfectly balanced with the pasta. (I hate when pasta is swimming in sauce.) Believe me, I've only scratched the surface. If you see me there (I'm the guy in the hat in the photo), stop by and say hello. The first beer is on me!

Surprisingly it wasn't as loud as I though it would be. As far and the food and drinks go, the line was short and fast. The Boozy Frosé was absolutely delicious, especially on a warm breezy day. It wasn't too "boozy" and it wasn't too sweet either, just right. The slice of pepperoni pizza was a tad burned and honestly wasn't the best pizza that I ever had, but it didn't take away from the experience.

Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Crystal City is a 49,000 sq foot, 9 screen modern cinema, with the luxury of food and drink service at your reclining plush leather seat. To place your food order, use the QR code for the menu, make your choices and press the convenient built-in server call button to summon the server to take care of your order preference. For food, I prefer to stick to plain popcorn to consume in the dark, anything else would be distracting. A big plus is their enforced strict policy against talking or texting during films. I wish more cinemas would have the same warning given at the start of every film. The Alamo Drafthouse has a premium auditorium featuring an enormous 66 foot wide screen laser projection with immersive Dolby Atmos 52 speaker surround sound which really packs a punch. Thankfully, we wore our earbuds, or would have experienced some hearing stress or loss. ***Do arrive 30 minutes early to get your food and drinks orders in, thus to avoid being interrupted during the movie** Enjoy!

Let's start with the unexpected hero of this story... the chicken sandwich. This thing had absolutely no business being as good as it was. The breaded chicken slapped, the pickle had that perfect crisp snap, and the brioche bun came strolling in like it knew it was the prettiest person at the party. Seriously, that bun deserves recognition for its supporting role. Even the fries were really good, and I'm not a fries guy. Usually fries are just the edible packing material keeping my sandwich from sliding around the plate, but I actually found myself eating these voluntarily. Unfortunately, my margarita was aggressively mid. It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was technically a margarita and successfully completed all contractual obligations associated with being one. The atmosphere was... a restaurant. There were tables. There were chairs. People ate food at them. No particular vibe or energy jumped out at me. Service was similarly pure, uncut service. We ordered things. Those things arrived. Transactions occurred. Mission accomplished. Would I go back? Absolutely if someone suggested it. Would I cross state lines and embark on a pilgrimage? Probably not. But I'd order that chicken sandwich again without hesitation... and maybe ask if they'll put my margarita on a brioche bun too.
