Cantina Marina

I headed to Cantina Marina last night to celebrate Stoner's birthday. It was the perfect place for for a hot summer evening. Cold beer, roof decks, and hanging fish galore. We somehow managed to snag a table, which was a very good thing, because let's be honest, no one likes to eat standing up... Generally this is seemed more like a drinking place than a dining place.

My neighbor mentioned that there's a nice, clean public pool at Hains Point, which is nearby. Next time we'll have to combine the margaritas and bathing suits into an afternoon adventure.

{Note to self: Cantina Marina will insanely crowded before, during, and after Nats games}

Odeon Cafe

Friday night my OpenTable app introduced Danielle and me to Odeon Cafe. Located 2 blocks from the Q Street Metro exit, it was a super easy walk and a very convenient stop after work.

The food was amazing. Danielle ordered the Vitello con Funghi and I went with the Fettucinne al 4 Formaggi. It was to die for. A-mazing. We were also suckered into buying an expensive Pinot Grigio, but I think by the end of the night we would both agree that it was a good choice.

Also: Shout-out to the superb wait staff which was extremely professional and attentive.
