Roger, thanks for posting the photo of sheep grazing on the White House lawn. I just read that the wool was auctioned off to raise money for the war effort.

I have not been there in years. They do so many road construction projects in DC now that I'm afraid I'll get lost - this from someone who used to go downtown at least once a month. However, I just called the family, and they said the food was excellent.

The Grill is known for their crab cakes, so the guys got those and loved them. My daughter is into eating healthy and trying new things and enjoyed a hummus platter with pita bread and vegetable dips (sounds like an appetizer to me!).

They did laugh about their appetizers. They were there early and there was a half-price offer on all appetizers. Our family loves shrimp in any shape and form, so they each ordered the shrimp cocktail. It consisted of one huge shrimp (probably a prawn) with a dab of cocktail sauce.

The prices are fairly standard for DC fare, but not overly priced.
