Marty and I tried a wonderful new restaurant in DC called Proof. It's located right across from the Verizon center and parking was easy with valet. We went with our friends Cindy and Bert Knotts to celebrate Bert's birthday. The name of the restaurant comes from a quote by Benjamin Franklin that "beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy". However, the restaurant takes its name from the understanding that Frankling meant wine, as he was known to be a wine aficionado as opposed to a beer drinker--and the wine certainly was great.
The atmosphere was casual, the service was good but boy hold on to your plate or they will wisk it before you are finished! I had the heirloom tomoato salad as an appetizer and Cindy and Marty had the beet salad. Burt went for the recommended Ahi Tuna as an appetizer. The choices for entries were nice—Marty had the Pennsylvania pork loin and it riveled the dish that he loves at his favorite NYC rest called Savann. I had the Halibut—wonderful! It was great fun to venture out of our beloved Alexandria and a good time was had by all.
