One SixtyBlue: 5 Stars!

One SixtyBlue, Michael Jordan's restaurant, has absolutely fabulous contemporary American food and beautiful presentations. What I love most is the fact that many of your vegetables where grown and picked freshly from One SixtyBlue's onsite urban garden. That right, it has a full beautiful garden in the back parking lot and growing on the side of the building. Amazing use of space and proof that you can grow whole foods right in the middle of city. A great reason to eat all your vegetables. Thank you One Sixty Blue!

Some of the dishes that remind me how I became a foodie:
  • The poached egg duck salad
  • Virginia soft shell crab
  • The Washington Wild King Salmon, with red bliss potato, duck fat has potatoes (yes 2 super delish potatoes), grilled scallions, and horseradish cream
  • The Charred Octopus & Grilled Squid, with goat meatballs, Wisconsin watercress pesto, chickpeas, pickled baby turnips, and chili oil

And dessert - I don't care how full you are, you must order something preferably several things. Believe me it's worth the gluttony.
