Where I’m Eating: Pinea
Pinea’s Spaghetti Nero
Pinea is the new face of the W Hotel’s restaurant scene. Seeing J&G leave this space was bitter-sweet with some of the best steak I have ever had in D.C. exiting but something new and good replacing it. Pinea, similar to J&G, has its staples that will make you want to return. Besides the recent raves over their Spaghetti Nero, the Roasted Whole Branzino, is a JKGF top pick especially where one is trying to watch their waistline. Fennel, mint and lemon play on each others best attributes creating a light, but flavorful main dish. If waistline is not an issue, do not hesitate to get the House Made Fougasse with the trio of artichoke tzatziki, mediterranean and red pepper feta dips. I would have eaten the whole plate, but I know my trainer would kill me…
