Restaurant Week Part Deux: Butterfield9

Or how I learned to never go here again. Well, this one was a definite bust on Wednesday night. The hostess was pushy and made it very clear that she wanted to get our party of 6 twenty-somethings into our chairs and out of her restaurant as quickly as possible. Had it not been a large group, I would have happily left after checking out the menu for Restaurant week.

How can you in good faith put cod, pork chops, chicken breast, and a "vegetable cutlet" on a menu and charge people $30.05? I would have been outraged except that it was our own damn fault for not checking out the menu before making our reservation. I had the pork chop. It was good. But it was a pork chop. It was also by far the best of the four entrees. The shallot and apple soup was very good. The desserts were so-so. If you have a reservation for this weekend, change it to anywhere else. As always, check out DC Foodies for suggestions and menus.
