A killer burger. The Washiington Post |
For someone on the lookout for the best burgers in town, who could pass up the Scion burger, which trumps the standard fare? A blend of Kobe beef and ground sirloin cooked medium-rare, then the patty graces the plump bun and accented by fried pickle slices, smoked mozzarella and peach ketchup _ definitely a worthy choice.

The menu at Relic is 'international tapas with a modern fusion', so the last thing you expect to see as their signature dish is meatloaf. Even if you have bad meatloaf memories, this take on the traditional comfort food is still a complete winner. Maybe becuase it's topped with suculent bacon and onion rings. The meat itself was moist and flavorful. You'll probably want to order a few for the table as one 'small plate' of this meatloaf won't last too long.

I loved the Potato Chickpea Cakes with mushrooms and a light plum sauce & the Beet Salad is not to be missed with spring greens & goat cheese with a balsamic reduction. The woman next to me at the bar last week adored her crab cakes. Certainly enough for Vegetarians (me) but diverse enough for those palates who like Lamb Kabobs, Moroccan steak, Duck Congee, Merquez & frog legs. (Really I heard the waitress tell the chef her table loved the frog legs.) Could never do those myself, but to each their own & celebrate the fact the guests love them!.
