We recently had the pleasure of dining at the new Silver location at Cathedral Commons (3404 Wisconsin Ave., NW) and speaking with Executive Chef Ype Von Hengst (TV Food Network Chopped Champion and Unwrapped winner). I’ve met Ype previously and dined at various Silver Diners, but this was my first time at either Silver (bistro) location. Silver’s menu is definitely a few steps above Silver Diner (by design).
Other than whichever cocktail I happened to order, we enjoyed everything. But, while everything was good, the absolute standouts (that we would order again in a heartbeat):
Lamb Meatballs (appetizer)
Brussels Sprouts (appetizer)
Green Giant (fresh pressed juice containing kale, spinach, cucumber, and apple)
Four Berry Pie
They also did a great job with both the Mahi Mahi, but I enjoyed it more than my dining partner. It’s possible she just isn’t a Mahi Mahi person.
Silver has a great looking Menu. Items that we are excited to try if we find ourselves back at Silver include the Shrimp & Grits, Local Lamb with Cappelinni (because they did a great job with the meatballs), the Cauliflower Mezze, and the Vegan Lemon Tartlet (in addition to more Four berry Pie).
