Well Everyone, what a year for the 2 Soul Sister's Food Blog! 2012 was our launch year and based on all the feedback 2012 was a great start. Thanks to all of you who have read, eaten and shared your thoughts and ideas with us. So far we have had over 2700 views and look forward to many more. Also, we again invite each of you to not be shy and share your thoughts and comments. Please feel free to share your comment right on the blog. We would love for this year to be a more interactive year. Don't be shy. Goodness knows we are not. :)
Last year we reviewed 36 restaurants. We thought it would be fun to list our top 10 favorite places to eat from 2012. So here goes our Top 10 Count Down:
Honorable Mentions go to Mari Luna http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/mari-luna-bistro-overall-rating.html and Sushi Nari http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/sushi-nari-overall-review-sushi-nari-is.html. Both of these restaurants had yummy food and good service. The prices were reasonable and we think you would enjoy them too.
10. = Aida Bistro (Italian)
Aida's Bistro earned ♪♪♪. They offered regional Italian dishes that were absolutely delicious. Our main critique was the lack of atmosphere, but the food was wonderful. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/11/aida-bistro-review.html
9. = Bang Bang Mongolian Grill (Mongolian)
Bang Bang Mongolian Grill earned ♪♪♪. This was a fun restaurant to review because you are able to prepare dishes to your specifications using ingredients provided for you. We loved this place because it was a creative, kid-friendly place. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html
8. = Red Pearl (Chinese)
Red Pearl earned ♪♪♪ and a half note. This is a restaurant that you may have reservations about trying due to some of the more exotic dishes like duck tongues and jelly fish. Do not be dissuaded from giving that great eatery a try. You will be happy you did, we sure were. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/07/red-pearl-review.html
7. = Thai Arroy (Thai)
Thai Arroy earned ♪♪♪ and a half note. They consistently have good food. The place is small and does not have the best atmosphere but the food is great and you cannot beat the price. This is by far some of the best Thai food we have had. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/thai-arroy-overall-rating.html
6. = Adela (Spanish Tapas)
Adela earned ♪♪♪ and a half note. This is a sophisticated and smart spot with really good and affordable tapas. Their menu changes seasonally so be prepared for something different each time. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/02/adelas-overall-rating.html
5. = Talara (Ceviche)
Talara earned ♪♪♪ and a half note. This is a restaurant we visit regularly. We love the atmosphere. It is alive and humming with energy. It has a great nightlife scene. The fish is always fresh and tasty. This is a must try dining experience. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/talara-review_20.html
4. = Jack's Bistro (Sous Vide)
Jack's earned ♪♪♪ and half note. We had never heard of Jack's let alone the Sous Vide style of cooking until it was recommended to us. Now that we know it exists we are in love with this cooking style which leave the food so tender, moist and flavorful. Jack's is hard to find but worth the effort. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/05/normal-0-false-false-false-en-us-x-none.html
3. = Rowhouse Grille (Classic American)
The Rowhouse Grille earned ♪♪♪ and a half notes. Melissa had her reservations, but Angela's perseverance won out and thank God for that! This little hidden treasure had some of the best food that we have ever had. Upon first glance it appears to be just another bar, but further explorations reveals a capable and enjoying dinging experience. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/08/the-rowhouse-grille-review.html
2. = Rasika (Indian)
Rasika earned ♪♪♪♪. This is one of DC's swankier offerings. Rasika serves high end Indian cuisine. You will easily spend a pretty penny, so you may want to save this restaurant for a special occasion, but it is a treat well worth each penny spent. Don't forget to keep an eye out for First Lady Michelle Obama. This is one of her favorite spots. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/04/rasika-review.html
1. = Sascha's 527 Cafe (Creative American with Global Touches)
Sascha's 527 Cafe earned ♪♪♪♪. We like this place so much that we would have given it
♪♪♪♪♪ but our rating scale does not go that high. The atmosphere is posh and as quoted by Style Magazine, "Drop Dead Sexy". We concur! The food can be described as Next Level! It left us yearning and pleading for more. This restaurant is a MUST TRY!!! We do advise that you be careful of this restaurant's power, and choose carefully who you bring with you, you may not be able to get rid of this person after this experience. http://2-soulsistersblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/saschas-527-cafe.html
So readers eat and enjoy! We look forward to bringing you many more wonderful and informative reviews in 2013.
