I'm afraid New York decided to be showy, cold, wintery and wet for a while. It is Christmas time after all. I love the snow, but none else of the above.
Our good friends from D.C. decided on their visit for this weekend, months and months ago. It wasn't the best weekend, except for Friday but what can you do. Winter weather, and weather in general, is hardly predictable.
We went to two restaurants--City Crab, which was overpriced and disappointing, and cozy, yummy Copper Chimney.
The overpriced mixed seafood plate didn't stop the cook to undercook the scallops and shrimp, though the crab cake was pretty tasty. The crab soup and the oysters were average. And all this after an hour of a wait! So not worth it. I guess location can compensate for the quality.
Copper Chimney on the other hand showed us to our table instantly and everything bit of the food we had was exceptionally good. However, the red cocktail my female friend and I had, was just o.k. Nor comparable to my, previously consumed at home, mixed berry martini. But overall, a positive experience, again, and we didn't feel ripped off, at all. And our friends loved it! Thumbs up!
