Le Caviste, Wine Bar

Le Caviste is a small and cozy place, ideal for a glass wine and some delicious cheeses and charcuterie.

They only serve French wine but no need to be a connoisseur, the waiter will help you choose what they think you will like  It is not a snobbish Wine Bar with a fake French style, but an authentic and very friendly place. It really reminded us of France.

Everything we had was very good: saucisson, tome, terrine, French butter, cornichons, and bread (refilled without asking).

Great place to go for a Happy hour or before heading to the theatre or a concert.

Suika, Japanese bar and restaurant

Suika is a new Japanese Snack Bar on Capitol Hill. They serve Japanese fusion food, tapas style.

The staff welcomes you with a cheerful “Irrashaimase!” and is super friendly and helpful.

The inside decor is full of character with a fabulous chandelier made out of Sake bottles. I love it!

It was delicious and the experience is even better when shared with very good friends!

We need to go back to taste other dishes like the Oxtail Ramen and the Kakuni Bibimbap (pork, green onion and shrimp and rice mixed and served in a hot stone bowl).
