BASH HH @ Lyon Hall

I have to give Becca props of picking this gem in Arlington.  Not only is the ambiance nice and relaxing it does not smell like sticky beer (Mr. Days)  and its crowd is that of a "working crowd excited to be out on a Friday night with friends" And not necessarily to get smashed.

The service was awesome and the mussels, YUM!! Where can you find mussels on a HH menu for only $10.00 and a really good glass or two of wine half off during HH.  Did I mention that Becca and I couldn't resist the pretzel sticks and 3 different tangy and spicy mustards.

I have to say that Becca and I have the exact same thoughts here. I know I will definitely be making a stop there again whether with friends, or with a blind date; if it goes bad at least there is some decent people watching!

Till next week, which I am sad to miss, however, I think Becca will be picking a good place!

Cheers,
Rashmi

Sonoma Restaurant & Wine Bar

Hello friends happy Friday!

Bash DC HH is getting off to a slow start. I have been trying all week to get the post on Sonoma out to you all, but their online menu page has been down and I did not want to put incorrect information out there.

So before we get ahead of ourselves and move on to today’s HH let me give you our take on last week’s HH at Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar. 

Sonoma maybe an unknown gem. If you are looking for a low key place to relax with your friends, enjoy a few beverages, good food and hear the conversation this is the place to be. If you are looking for the love of your life maybe not so much…..

HH occurred on the second floor in the lounge area (see above). We happened to be in the mood for white wines that evening so we ordered the HH pinot grigio. A crisp white with a citrus taste, not bad for $5.00.  I would also like to note they offer a  $15 bottle of prosseco that we discovered was part of the HH specials.  This was a big hit among other patrons as well.

From the menu we split the house-made meatballs (AWESOME) and the spinach salad. The meatballs were AMAZING. I am not a total food so I will try to explain the flavors I enjoyed. The meatballs were made in a red sauce on top of creamy polenta; it was very hearty and flavorful.  The spinach salad was light and fresh; it included toasted walnuts, balsamic onions and charred onion vinaigrette. In case you didn't notice the salad was great, but I really likes the meatballs. I mentioned we ordered these from the main menu. Not going to lie I was a little disappointed that they did not have any happy hour appetizers, but none the less the food we ate was indeed yummy. 

That's it for Sonoma. I would definitely recommend trying it out. 

How was that for our first post? Let me know if there is any other information you are looking to hear about and we will make sure to include it on the next go round.

Now on to tonight's location.  Cheers~

Sonoma DC

Tonight is the first stop on our tour. We will be going to Sonoma Restaurant and Wine Bar. Sonoma looks like an amazing place to have a glass of wine. I can't wait to cozy up in one of their couches and try a few of their tasty appetizers.  They feature 3 happy hour specials for us to test. Plus, they are close to the Capitol South Metro stop on the orange and blue line, how convenient.

Hope to see you all there!
