Roof Terrace Restaurant, Kennedy Center
by Karen2 on 08/05/2008
 
With no "captive audience," it would be closed; it has become a disaster. The prix fixe menu is a pedestrian soup or salad, a choice of 3 uninspired main courses, and a beautiful but overly chocolatey dessert; the few a la carte choices were characterless. Nearly 2 hours prior to the show, the salad was served before the wine. Our orders were offered to the wrong people, difficult with 3 choices and a table for 2. The wait staff looks downtrodden and never bothered to ask if we wanted more wine or how the meal was (obviously bad). The dissapointment on diners' faces, especially prior to anticipating the festive Lion King, said it all. Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad
