Description

Andaluca doesn't much look like a restaurant helmed by a big-name chef whose culinary resume includes a guest stint on Iron Chef America. Wayne Johnson's dining room looks like a typical hotel restaurant, which is presumably what the solo diners and name tag-wearing conference goers who claimed tables on a recent weeknight thought they'd found. Their assumptions were tested by a string of bright, Mediterranean small plates showcasing fresh shellfish and local produce, including a paella thoughtfully sized for one. In addition to seasonal cuisine, Andaluca offers a respectable wine list, with 15 percent knocked off the price of every Washington wine bottle.
