SubZero

Wow. I have been missing out! I visited SubZero for the first time last week and I’m wondering why people have been keeping this place a secret!
From now on I’m greeting people by saying, “Hi. My name is Ruth have you been to SubZero?” I can’t keep this great a find to myself!
Wow. The atmosphere is sophisticated and comfortable. It is quiet enough to have a conversation. A great place to go after work to unwind or to meet friends for drinks, food and conversation.
The food was a real surprise. The good kind. My friend and I went down the menu and over and over found ourselves thinking it all looked good.
It was tough decision but we decided on the chicken wrap and the Kobe beef sliders. Yum. The sliders were everything a slider should be and then some. With mushrooms and grilled onions the beef was flavorful and perfectly cooked.
The chicken wrap came with the grilled chicken and red peppers, slaw, lettuce and tortillas separate so you could build your own. The chicken had a good kick to it and came on skewers freshly grilled. Wow.
The menu offers fresh made soups and salads (a half page of each so there is some selection). Then we got to the desserts.
After splitting our food we were both full but the dessert menu has a wonderful selection so we just had to try something.
We ended up ordering the double chocolate cake with raspberry whipped cream. This was a life changing choice.
Expecting a thin slice of cake like so many restaurants serve we were amazed to get a slab of cake that could have fed a family of five. (Maybe a slight exaggeration, but it was huge.)
I could only manage a few bites of the cake but it was amazing! I talked about it so much at work the next day they demanded I go back and get a piece so they could all try it.
They agreed I wasn’t exaggerating on the taste or the size.
The food is amazing and I have to say the blueberry mohito I tried was probably the best mohito I’ve had in town. This place has a full bar and the bartender knows what she is doing.
Let me add this up for you. A great bar, fantastic food and a comfortable, sophisticated atmosphere.
SubZero is on F Street between 6th and 7th, around the corner from Humpy’s. They are open from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m.
SubZero was remodeled last year and has been upgrading the menu. I’d say the changes have created a great downtown night spot.
Don’t take my word for it. This is the kind of greatness you really need to taste for yourself.
