After a hot towel sevice, warm nuts (with the new pretzel-enhanced mix) and a Moonlighter Vodka Spritz. That is one refreshing beverage; I think I would enjoy one on the front porch after a hot summer day.



I got the new "Dulles signature" shrimp boil. Any dish combining shrimp and andouille sausage makes me think MSY instead of IAD, but this one was delicious anyway--especially with the shrimp dipped in that lemon garlic butter sauce. The roll, served warm, was baked with some cornmeal, which I thought was a creative addition. The banana pudding was okay, but having it served in that plastic container was a low-rent touch. The worst part was the white wine, a buttery, oaky chardonnay of the kind that I can't stand. I should have asked for a can of rose from the back.



Very friendly service throughout--the captain signed business cards for everybody up front--but if you wanted drink refills you had to ask for them.
