Logan Tavern Unofficial Mini-Review

Logan TavernDuring Tropical Storm Hannah, the residents of DC still needed to be fed and god forbid I try to cook, so a friend and I braved the weather and walked from 14th and R to Logan Tavern on Pst betweeen 14th and 15th.  Sister restaurant to Grillfish, The Heights and Commissary (3 doors down from LT), Logan Tavern has a great menu and their brunch menu was no different.   While this is a "mini" review since there were only two of us and I didn't take copious notes, I thought I would give you some of the highlights.

Environment:  They do have outdoor seating, which we obviously didn't take advantage of seeing as the sky was falling, but the front seating right on P street is always packed when the elements aren't in the way.  The inside decor is lodgy dark wood seating with lighter walls  giving it a cozy meets warehouse feel.    Even with the ridiculous storm, the place had a good crowd which was surprising.  I guess it's a testament to the restaurant...or the fact that no one that lived in Logan wanted to venture too far and they don't have a ton of other options.

Service: We had a great waiter who was friendly and helpful, oh and did I mention hot? Judging by the 'hood, I probably wasn't his type, but I didn't mind - eye candy is eye candy.   Scrumcious.

Booze:  They of course have no drink specials, not a shocker - no one ever does, but we of course had to try their mimosas.  We both agreed they were the perfect mix of oj and champagne...yum!

Food:  Bread on the table - hallelujah!  Who said people don't want bread on the table? I do!!  Especially when it is gooooood bread.

As I mentioned, they have a huge menu and it took us forever to decide what we wanted (there can be such a thing as too big).  The bummer....once we decided, I forgot to take notes on what we ordered!  I think I was too busy staring at the waiter and eating the bread!   What I do have is this: "Home fries not good.  Do Substitutions"  Um....so fail on the home fries, but if you are a picky eater like me, then they will substitute items for you...what those items are I have no idea because I didn't take notes on that!  But they will do it!

Repeat/Overall:  Since this was a mini-review, I would have to say based on what I wrote then yes, I would repeat.  I have had lunch and dinner at Logan Tavern and they are nothing if not consistent.

    This is Abby -- a friend of Ann from Japan who moved to DC about a year and half ago. I like Logan Tavern very much (esp. their gooey french toast) but what's up with the coffee??!! It's so watery and tasteless. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. Great blog!

      Hey Abby!  Thanks for checking out the blog.  As you can tell, things have slooooooowed down.  I do have about 5 posts that need to go up from the last, um, year?? Ugh....I have just gotten so busy and now I am leaving DC!  I do promise to any brunchers that read this site, that I will get those last few up and try my best to get someone else in DC to take up the torch for me.
