    Fancy French restaurant suspension: Marcel's - Duck at 49 degrees, cross contamination control, no one certified food safety. Declined to explain or show us improvements. Passed city reinspection.

    Go here before a show at the Kennedy Center and treat yourself to a great meal and outstanding service. After the show, go back for the piano bar a single-malt. The best!

    The foie gras is just silly good. Served with house-made toasted brioche, I could eat that all day and night.
