NNTP-Posting-Date: Sun, 30 Jun 2002 13:38:55 EDT Organization: Cox Communications Xref: usenet.INS.cwru.edu dc.dining:21215 Last night at Chef Geoff's in upper Georgetown [New Mexico Avenue @ Sutton Place]. His cooking is inventive and delicious without the lofty pricetags of my more typical haunts like Kinkeads or Citronelle. He presents a wide variety of cuisines with extraordinary presentation but without overwhelming complexity. He has a wine list which is sizeable but not unmanageable. While I do concede it is good on special occasions, I generally cannot understand why anyone would want to devour an exquisite meal in a stiff atmosphere. Geoff Tracy's establishment has a relaxed ambiance which keeps romanticism and professionalism intact. A real neighbourhood establishment. I spent almost three hours there chatting beneath the trees with a lady friend without being pressured or interupted.

Washington, DC
Best meal in DC
I can't imagine too many eateries in West Virginia furnishing edible food. I would recommend Bavarian Inn in Shepherdstown for authentic German.

I've never been there myself so this is a second-hand description of the place. Cheers, Kensei From [email removed] Sun Jul 7 12:34:30 EDT 2002 Article: 21221 of dc.dining

I've only been there once but the meal was memorable. The cuisine is largely German but I had crabcakes with little filler and they were as good as I've had anywhere. A number of my coworkers have dined there also and I've only gotten positive replies. Coat & tie required in the evening. Nice place to take friends who live in Hagerstown. It's not inexpensive but will run you less than the Inn at Little Washington. Bon appetit.
