I think you'll be happy when you try Yannick's. Prices are not exactly
budget, but they're better than at Le Pavillon (and portions are
larger...). Fewer really outrageous ingredients, but that's a net
plus. The cooking is excellent: I would go so far as to say the best
in DC. Go! And if you're interested in Yannick's cooking, ask about
the (unlisted) menu gastronomique. When I was there, there were two
variants: 5 and 7 courses, as I recall. All really outstanding, and
actually quite a good value.
