Thanksgiving Dinner In PQ

Charlie Palmer Steak at 101 Constitution Ave NW is doing Thanksgiving for $65 pp ($20 per kid) from Noon to 8 pm.

We did 701 a few years back and really enjoyed it. They had a different chef back then but the new one is really good too.

Ah, Flash restaurant sites. I think the web developers for restaurants also do the apartment and condo websites. Get as little information as possible, find a bunch of stock photos bearing no relationship whatsoever to the actual business, add some dumb Flash menus that only look right on the latest version of Internet Explorer, top it off with a irritating “intro” page that sends “music” blasting out of your speakers, and voila, you have a nearly useless Web site that for some dumb reason actually impresses the business owner.

So, if you just want a menu, try http://washingtondc.menupages.com

I had lunch at Clyde’s today (Tgiving) with some 777 7th friends and it was very good. Their crab cake is always excellent and we sat out on that sunroom patio thingy. It was fairly busy in there but not crazy.

There was no hot water at the China Garden on H Street on T Day evening when I went with my visiting family for a late supper. Has anyone else had the same disgusting experience there? Also, does anyone know how to report restaurants that have no hot water to the inspection people?
I would hope that all restaurants would follow the law & have hot water at all times. Or is this like the short-term rentals, where anything goes?
