| Chef Jamie Leeds has taken Dupont Circle by full gale force, sweeping along the 16th Street stretch like a typhoon. Thanks to front-porch seating, the tiny restaurant can accommodate overflow crowds, but woe to us when cold weather hits home. Cramped indoors, you'll find that you and your neighbors will become fast friends by meal's end. As the restaurant’s name suggests, the food here focuses on the deep blue sea, with only a few steps onto land. And of those land-locked dishes, we're happy to note, Leeds's braised pork shanks are on the menu, though as a Thursday night special with two sides. Look for the short ribs on Mondays and Tuesdays. The kitchen, under her direction, handles seafood well, however, and that makes ordering such dishes as the shrimp and scallop appetizer---deep-fried and crispy---with a chipotle dipping sauce pleasurable. Also located in Alexandria. |
