birch and barley

birch and barley
1337 14th St NW, Washington, DC 20005
tel202) 567-2576

what was consumed: cauliflower, testa tots, and a meat and cheese plate to start, then the birch burger and bucatini entrees

i'd been to churchkey, the bar upstairs, countless times (they have an amazing beer list and i love their tator tots), but had not yet been to birch and barley despite having been a highlight in logan circle for some time now. thanks to friends visiting from out of town, i finally got my chance.

birch and barley offers diners' favorites: burgers, pastas, chicken entrees, etc. they encourage beers to be paired with their dishes, though they also offer (and support) wine consumption. the favorite part of the meal, for me, was the appetizers: cauliflower (roasted cauliflower smothered in an aioli-like (or just aioli) sauce that was delicious, creamy, and a little spicy), testa tots (meat-filled tater tots. need i say more?), and a meat and cheese plate (pretty standard presentation, but the components were just so delicious. they also made sure to include some sweet and some crunchy, just as good meat and cheese plates always should). will definitely be back for more ... !!!
