At a recent farewell reception for the JET Program, I caught up with two lovely ladies I've known since moving back to the DC area post-Japan. All JET alumni, we worked together in the Goodwill Ambassador Program for the Cherry Blossom Festival. Last time we saw each other was at the nabe party at our place. We set up a date to get together and ended up trying one of the newish restaurants on 14th Street, BToo.
Parking is a bear on 14th, so I had a Stella while waiting for the ladies to arrive.
Traditional Moules Mariniere with a side of frites.
Oddly there is additional sauce on the side. The mussels had a nice flavor, subtle, but good.
One of the more affordable brunch items, the lamb-chorizo sandwich with a parmesan frico.
BToo's best item, the frites, with three different dipping sauces.

We also tried the waffles, and the bucket of bacon side elicited a few chuckles. The service was definitely a highlight at the restaurant. The menu prices were a bit steep, but it was a nice, leisurely lunch together. I did have a side order of beer-braised sausages, which were just ok but not remarkable.
