As you may or may not be aware, this coming Saturday happens to be Valentines Day. If you were, than hopefully chances are that you already have romantic evening planned, however if the latter applies (your secret is safe with us), then it’s high time you got on it.
Dinner and a show tends to be a winning combo, but as is often the case, there are dinners and then there are dinners. To that end, instead of hanging around home this Saturday, I suggest that you set out for the rooftops of U Street and the one-of-a-kind Tabaq Bistro.
Tabaq, an intimate little tapas spot specializing in Eastern-Mediterranean cuisine, is tucked in an unassuming townhouse just a stone’s throw from the U Street metro stop (Green Line). The first floor has some seating and a bar, and from there on up are the kitchens and offices, until you get to the roof where there is a cozy rooftop dining area that looks out over the surrounding neighborhood, offering spectacular views to compliment the savory small-plates. When I say that the ambiance is the main attraction, don’t take it to mean that Tabaq doesn’t deliver when it comes to the food, the menu boasts a winning selection of traditional tapas style dishes and other more filling main courses each with their own interesting textures and complex tastes. The rooftop dining room isn’t huge, so understandably if fills up quickly. Make sure to call at least a day in advance to get a reservation.
After a dinner under the stars, head down the street to Twins Jazz, one of Washington’s top jazz spots and enjoy the lyrical styling of Andrea Wood who will be doing two shows that evening, one at 9:00PM and one at 11:00PM depending on when you get out of dinner.
Sure flowers and chocolate are nice, but rooftop dining and a jazz show, now that’s an evening.
$15 – per ticket to the Andrea Wood show (order here)
$40 - $60 – for diner depending on what / how much you order
Total: $70 - $90 plus tax and tip
