Relic Bethesda

Last night Natasha and I went to Relic restaurant/lounge/bar and it was fab! The entrance is flanked by two western saddles and the decor is a combination of Gothic chandeliers ,faux waterfall bar, animal prints and damask but in a cool dark lounge way. We were seated at a comfy couch  surrounded by curtains and pillar futons.  We ordered drinks and  good sized small plates and here's my order of favorites.

1- German Chocolate Cake Martini- My new fav drink, tastes like it's name sake. Combination of malibu, frangelico, vanilla vodka and lemon.
2. Chicken Skewers- Sooo good! Kabobs of chicken, onion, and peppers with a balsamic dipping sauce.
3. Calamari - Not too greasy or fishy tasting.
4.Cheese Plate- brie,goat cheese, manchego and gruyere, yum!
5. Green Butted Skunk + Wicked Witch cocktail- I had a sip of Natasha's drink and ordered the witch . Kinda tangy with the midori added but not bad.
6. Spinach dip- spinach, crab and shrimp. Not my fav.

That night they were trying out an open bar after 11 with a dj. We didn't stay that late but we would def come back to investigate.

I'll def be back and they are on restaurant.com :)

I went to American Tap Room Yesterday with my lovely friend Stephanie and it was so delicious! We were seated at a table next to the fireplace in big leather chairs and the menus light up. I ordered the tomato bisque soup and the glazed salmon which was flavorful and less than 500 calories for the salmon.
