Best Dishes Eater DC Editors Ate This Week: February 27 | Eater DC

"A beloved neighborhood spot in Takoma Park known for incredibly kind, friendly service and plush red velvet booths perfect for date night. The fried oysters—straight from the Chesapeake Bay—can even yield a pearl, which brought plenty of excited waiters to the table. The seafood stew served with black rice is ideal for cold nights: a creamy paprika and coconut milk broth with perfectly cooked fish, blue shell mussels, and shrimp—hearty and warming but still light enough to share. The fish and chips are perfectly crispy, and the banoffee trifle (layers of graham crackers, dulce de leche, caramelized bananas, and whipped cream) is not to be missed." - Tierney Plumb
