Dinner Out... Old Ebbitt Grill

Twice in the last month, we've taken guests to Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington, DC.  This is a special place to John and I as we went on one of our first dates here.  It is a particularly special place for me as this restaurant introduced me to Diet Coke with Lime in 2003 ;) ! 

The restaurant was busy on a weekend evening and we had a wonderful time with great food and fantastic company.
