What do you do in Washington DC when you have seen all the sights that you want to see? Well....you eat. Having been assigned to the Navy Yard, and getting the see the Naval Gunnery Museum plus the place where Special Agent Gibbs of NCIS hangs out was kind of cool. But DC has so much more to offer, like food. And this isn't a TV or museum blog, after all. So Justin and I collected a former tech of mine that works at the Navy Yard (Kaila) and headed out to Mission - Navy Yard, which is right across the street from the Nationals stadium. That's them in the pic over there. Justin is the one with the beard. Kaila is the one that is really, REALLY happy with the food. Which, I mean, isn't really that bad of a reaction considering that the food was really REALLY good.
In any case, we all got something, I got a double mushroom swiss burger, Justin got a burger of some kind and Kaila got some sort of chicken. If it seems like I am lacking detail, its because I am. Full disclosure, I took a bite of my burger before the pics were taken and really couldn't remember what they ordered. Yes, it was THAT good. Kind of like a bowl of French onion soup with meat in it.
There was also about 200 beers there and I tried a few since we were walking. It was only about three blocks from the hotel Justin and I were both staying at. This was the Homewood Suites which "said" it was 4 stars but ehhhhh I'm in the solid 2.5 range for that place. Might have had something to do with the cigarette burns on the carpet. Maybe.
Back to the drinks, in addition to the beer that had a pretty good wine selection which Kaila sampled and declared all of them quite good. Justin hit the IPAs and I had a few of those as well.
All in all solid 4 stars for both food and service.
