This is a nice small cafe in a small business complex in mainly residential NW DC. Â They have a small outdoor area which is pleasant.
Much better food than the boring menu suggests!
We started with corn poblano soup, which came hot and fresh. Â Just spicy enough and lots of flavor.
Excellent fish tacos, had them blackened and it wasn't overpowering. Â
Very good wings, they serve them with a buttermilk ranch sauce that's very very good and not like the crappy sauces one usually gets with wings.
Service was excellent, too. Â Overall no complaints, will come back.
I just had an amazing veggie burger here after a tennis game down the street.
We happened upon it by chance. I did a quick Yelp search after our game. Wild Tomato didn't have the best reviews on Yelp, but someone mentioned eating there after going to the park, so it seemed like a good choice. We also didn't have anywhere to go but West, as MacArthur Blvd was all kinds of messed up (MD: fix one-lane bridge and four-way stops).
So we trundled West, pulling into a lovely little shopping center. I like Cabin John, it has a fun name and it's one of many sleepy riverside neighborhoods along the Potomac.
The restaurant is in a small storefront next to a deli. It has outdoor seating, but we ate inside, hot and dehydrated as we were. Our waitress was very helpful, and I enjoyed the veggie burger with cheese as she said I would. The burger was $12, which is pricey, but it came with an excellent salad, fresh avocado and a pickle. The pizzas cost around that much, and they look big enough for two people, although my friend didn't think so. I split my burger in half and was still full. I'll be enjoying a large second meal. My friend couldn't finish his buffalo chicken salad and he let it go in the trash. Some people simply refuse to split meals. The restaurant was busy at six when we arrived and busier when we left, so it must be a local favorite. I'll certainly be going back the next time I'm in Cabin John.
