Great Place
DESCRIPTION: Olly's had the best lobster I have ever had. I took my husband for his birthday and we ate "very well" Food was delicous, then danced afterwards to oldies, country, salsa and more. We had a great time and will go back for our anniversary.

A new feel for DC dining...
DESCRIPTION: I was literally transported out of DC when I walked into Mie N Yu for the first time. It was a totally mesmerizing experience, which was complemented by an interesting menu that is geared towards sharing and really attentive service. I will always bring out-of-town guests to this place to let them know that DC has finally evolved.

What a bad place to go!!!!
DESCRIPTION: The design of this restaurant is interesting, and it makes you think for a few seconds that this is the place to be. But this is before you know that is the place of the you can t . At the bar you can t move, in the restaurant area, you can t smoke, if you don t eat, you can t sit and be aware, if you are a foreigner you can t even be here, because this restaurant has decided to only accept people with American valid ID s. So if you still want to see this nice design, don t come with your friends from abroad because they are not invited, and be prepared to pay a lot, unless you think like me that these are enough reasons not to go to this restaurant.

A totally new and wonderful experience!
DESCRIPTION: I happily came across to this restaurant when i was going into Georgetown with a few international staffers from a YMCA children's camp this summer. As a foreigner to this Country (I am Chinese born in UK) I was warmly welcomed into this restaurant. What a sight to behold! The interior is as wonderful as the experience of dining in this establishment! The service made it truly an honour to be there. And I can't stress enough that the location was perfect. This is defnitely one of the best restaurants that i have ever dined in. I shall always fondly compare any other restaurants as a "Mie N Yu experience" something that is very hard to come across. Though I'm now back in UK after finishing my work in Maryland this September, I will be hoping that in the future, I will have the pleasure of coming back to this wonderful restaurant, but for those of you thinking of going there to try the cuisine, may I say to you: "Enjoy the Mie N Yu experience!"

Escorted to the
DESCRIPTION: My friend has a very important position at GWU and I don't consider myself a schlub, but we were treated as fodder for the "Reject Room" at our first and last visit to Mie N Yu. I had called the day before, but when we arrived on a rainy Friday for our 6:00 P.M. reservations, the hostess could not locate my name. After several awkward minutes, the hostess acted like she was doing us a favor in finding us a table in an otherwise empty restaurant. We were escorted past the loitering wait staff and up one empty level after another. All the while, the hostess pointed out the decor and theme of each room, but reminded us, "But you're not sitting there." Finally, we reached what probably once served as an attic. The room was hot and stuffy and we only saw other non-wait staff when the manager brought people by on a tour of the facility. The overall decor of the restaurant was impressive but I can't say I remember the food as I was so upset at being seated in what people who have seen "Animal House" will know as the "Reject Room."

RECOMMENDED DISHES : Another Seating Location

DESCRIPTION: 7pm, Friday night, Georgetown, hungry: passed by good looking Italian restaurant, earmarked the Vietnamese for next time, and then were caught in what can only be described as a scam... the shame is, we fell for it: the allure of a 'reservations only' experience, the exotic-looking entrance, and our own inability to settle on a gastronomic region all lured us to Mie N Yu- what a HUGE MISTAKE! Quite clearly, the restaurant itself can't make up it's own mind as to what to serve- a little Oriental, a touch of Asian, or Mediterranean, or was the banana-hummus designed to attract everyone from Latin to Indian to Arab? In the end it could only attract my growing suspicion that this place was indeed a sham- the kind of place that only needs your money once to realise a profit- no need to cultivate return guests (they won't come), just charge more than the bottle per glass of wine, $10 an appetizer, and the utilities/wages to customer spending ratio will always work in your favor... the naan was store-bought, the plantain chips indeed flash-fried, but somewhere in Escondido, California, and the hummus itself, well left uneaten in the bowl; next up, the vegetarian collection- two of the minutest skewers of vegetables I ve ever seen, egg-rolls from frozen (think I passed up on the same ones in Shoppers the other day), and a red-rice mixture as bland as the overly-enthusiastic server was not- his loud remark in support of our choice of wild mushroom ragout as an accompaniment sealed the deal- he either hadn t eaten it himself or had been coached into perpetuating the myth that the chef was not mingling with diners but actually in the kitchen and was creating our repast from scratch (in fact as the waiters all wore black, his white, and obviously underused apron was very noticeable); dessert , he asked, ignoring the fact that virtually everything served remained picked at but not eaten, sure , I said to my wife, now thinking of which Ben and Jerry s flavor would somehow cleanse my already confused and now thoroughly disgusted palate, but as we got up to leave, the ransom- $75 for our coats, had to be paid in order to escape the lingering doubts about my ability to make rational decisions- if you actually paid $5/gallon for gas a few months ago, have failed to walk away from the McStarbucksing of coffee, or truly believe that chow mein is Chinese food, you should eat here.

Lovely Atmosphere, Good Food
DESCRIPTION: A very eclectic restaurant, in both atmosphere and menu. Tucked away on the second floor of a shopping plaza on South Boulevard, it's worth looking for. You can dine in the funky dining room, or out on the balcony/patio. It's a great place to take a date. The service is very attentive and knowledgable. Servers seem proud to work there. The food was delicious, though not outstanding. The crab cakes are wonderful however, and I highly recommend them. There is a full service bar, and they make a great cocktail. This is the perfect date restaurant, or a fun place to do a ladies lunch.

Special Food Served By Special People
DESCRIPTION: Delancey Street Foundation, known for more than two decades as the foremost self-supported rehab for drug addicts and alcoholics, opened this restaurant in 1991 as a training school and financial resource.<P> The food, prepared and served by residents of the facility, is home-cooked and served in large portions. The waitstaff is known for its hospitality and honesty, and if you ask any of them, they will happily tell you their "story."<P> The menu is chock-full of special touches, including an extra side serving of hot fudge sauce with the opulent hot fudge sundae, as the founder of Delancey Street, Mimi Silbert, felt that "they never put enough sauce on sundaes."<P> The spit-roasted rosemary chicken is the best San Francisco has to offer, and I have yet to find a dish that wasn't 100% satisfying.

Food and service too casual
DESCRIPTION: I have been at the Iron Horse Inn twice during my recent visit to Cincinnati. I found both the food and the service too casual, almost unprofessional. An example: my pasta course was way overcooked - in fact I have nowhere in the world been served pasta that overcooked! It fell apart when I tried to load it on the fork. When I told the waitress she replied with a laugh "that is not possible; it is our chef's pride to cook all pasta perfectly al dente." I was an invited guest, so I let it go at that point. Good wine list, but I sat often with an empty wine glass.
