And yes, Del Ray is a very personable restaurant. I like the Grill from Ipanema even if not all the food is what it should be. It's a bright, lively Brazilian place. I haven't been to Cafe Oggi. Now that they're everywhere, we can't seem to get good food or service at any of them.
Expansion tends to flatten the quality.
BET on Jazz has a delightful little passion fruit tartlet. Morrison Clark's lemon chess pie can't be beat, and its crust is the pie crust we all dream about. The lemon meringue tart at DC Coast is too wonderful to bypass. I'll try to check it out. I found nothing objectionable but was not impressed.
