The opera Porgy and Bess was excellent...and the cast party at Sou'Wester restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental in DC was a great follow-up. I didn't get to try every dish that was offered, but what I had was very good. Perfectly made (and large) hush puppies with honey butter on the side. (for you northerners -- hush puppies are a savory starch based food made from cornmeal batter that is deep fried or baked in small ball or sphere shapes - wiki definition). Also on the menu -- Chicken and dumplings. Risotto with broccoli tempura. And of course dessert: mini red velvet cupcakes, apple crumb bars, pecan tassies and turtle brownies. Each one was about two bites, so I had to try them all -- and they were presented very nicely, all on a cutting board looking wood slab and passed around. A delicious celebration of a wonderful production and cast!
# of dishes: 3 out of 5 -- but I'd like to return for a full meal to give another rating
