Alhambra

A very interesting DC restaurant. All round an excellent meal. A little on the pricey side, so be prepared. The scallops were very good, as was the branzino. Very well cooked and presented very well. The short rib was also excellent. On desert the Tiramisu desert was recommended, it was good but not great. In summary an excellent place to have a great meal.

Had a very good meal previously, and we indulged in some orange wine, not for us, but was fun to try. The star and excellent dish of the night was the lamb.
