Last
night I decided to eat dinner at J and G Steakhouse was I needed the hipster
ambiance and the W hotel didn’t disappoint.
Dressed in my Adrienne Landau mixed rabbit fur coat, Stuart Weitzman
croc embossed over-the-knee boots and Ann Taylor Loft skinny jeans, I walked
down 15th street NW. Once I hit the lobby, there was a female
guitarist named Heather Renee serenading in the lobby. This was a first for me; but, maybe, it was
because I probably hadn’t gone there on Friday. At least in recent memory. I arrived to the maître d’s desk promptly at
9pm but he told me that ‘there would be a small wait because we are cleaning up
tables right now’. Small my butt because I sat in the lobby watching March
Madness and listening to Heather Renee until 9:27pm!
He then got me off of
the couch taking me to my table. I was
so happy that he put me near the Pennsylvania Avenue NW exit with a nice view
of the Washington Monument. My server introduced himself to me. I ordered the cheese truffled fritters
because I had four entrée options in my head.
The fritters appetizers delicious! I loved their cheesiness and wolfed
them all down. Finally, I decided on the
10-ounce hanger steak. Throughout the
wait, I checked espn.com scoreboard to see how Michigan was doing. Me being an
Ohio native, I had a very low opinion of ScuM; but, since they were in the same
Big Ten conference I begrudgingly rooted for their advancement. Trey Burke didn’t disappoint. He hit the
game-tying shot sending the game into overtime and was the leading catalyst for
the Wolverines beating the Kansas Jayhawks 87-85. Okay so with my beloved
Buckeyes ScuM advanced to the Elite Eight. Immediately after the win, my steak
arrived. J and G Steakhouse had its
own steak sauce which was sweeter than A1.
Nevertheless, it complemented the steak.
I ate all of the fries and nearly all of the steak before getting my
waiter for dessert. I naively asked for ice cream. I didn’t know the steakhouse made boozy ice
cream laden with alcohol. I worked on
the mint and chocolate because I refused to get ‘drunk’ over some dessert!
