Ardeo & Bardeo in DC: A Wonderfully Good Meal.

By Johntalbott

Colette and I had the opportunity to take a day off last week and visit Washington and supped that evening at the merged Ardeo & Bardeo, 3311 Connecticut Ave with one of our daughters, a former chef, and husband.  I went expecting no fireworks but was [pleasantly surprised.

The burrata salad was better than average but my starter of a scallop schnitzel, yes schnitzel, was extraordinarily inventive.

For mains we had crispy skate, salmon, beef carpaccio and pork belly with clams, again the latter was a most creative composition as well as incredibly tasty.

Finally we had the chocolate tart, pear pie and savarin with maple syrup; once more, inventive combinations and fine execution.

Our bill with two bottled of wine, was $104.00 a couple before tip.

Go?  We certainly will in the furure.
