Dave and I booked a sushi tasting dinner tonight at Sushi Taro restaurant located at DuPont Circle. I really like DuPont Circle. This is one of the best DC areas. It was crowded at night the day before Thanksgiving, even though weather wasn’t nice at all. It was windy and rainy. At some point of the day it was even snowing a little, but the snow melted as soon as it touched the ground. Despite the rain, it was nice walking the historic streets of DuPont Circle full of the bright leaves on the ground and a few left on the trees.
From the outside, the restaurant does not look like much. It is situated directly above a CVS drugstore, which could be a good land mark to tell people who are meeting you at the restaurant. However, inside the dining room it is warm and inviting. It’s an easy walk from the DuPont Street Metro station and there is a parking garage around the corner on P street (between 16th and 17th, cash only). Sushi Taro will validate your parking, so you can get the parking fee refunded when you pick up your car. Sushi Taro restaurant is a calm, sophisticated and welcoming place.
