mie n yu

Four years ago for Valentines we discovered a wonderful restaurant in Georgetown by the name of mie n yu with some of our best friends Kim and Nathan Obert. Since then we have gone back once with Mom and Dad and once with my cousin Dan and his wife Dorothy. All three experiences have been wonderful! The menu and experience are very eclectic. Each room is decorated differently and is quite unique (if you ever visit you must ask for a tour as it is an important part of the experience). There is one particular space called the "Birdcage" and it is for reservations only as your meal is prepared especially for you by the executive chef - we actually coordinated with the manager and chef prior to our dining experience so the menu was custom and tailor made to meet our tastes and preferances. Since our first visit I knew this was something I wanted to do before we left DC. Last weekend we enjoyed the most amazing dinner of our lives with the Oberts in the Birdcage at mie n yu. I wish I had thought to take a picture of some of the food but needless to say it was incredible!

Our menu for the evening - I couldn't decide if the Braised Pork, Shrimp and Cabbage Organic Egg Omelet or the Seared Sea Scallops in a Japanese Style Curry were my favorite. Tim says the the latter but it was all amazing! Kim and Nathan outside mie n yu (the orange building in the background) before dinner

Besides the wine pairings which were planned for our meal he introduced us to something called Ice Wine. If you've never tried it, you should because it was wonderful and unique too. It was kind of cool being treated like VIPs for an evening.

We had such a wonderful evening and I'm so glad we have such incredible friends to share it with! It would not have been the same without you and you will definitely be one of the things we miss most about DC!
