We tried The Oakville Grille and Wine Bar for lunch last week. It's the new restaurant that is in the space which was occupied by Geppetto's in the Wildwood Shopping Center in Potomac. Gepetto's entrance in now down the side lane while Oakville entrance is in the front on the main strip of the center. It's a very pretty restaurant and very pleasant with nice tablecloths/silver etc at lunch time. Most pleasant surroundings. My husband had a grilled rare ahi tuna salad with shitake mushrooms, napa cabbage, julienne carrots and ginger garlic vinaigrette. It was a beautiful presentation. the plate had a salsa done in a medium dice. I noticed what I thought was papaya so I took a taste. I don't care for papaya and wanted to see how they had done this to match with the Ahi. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to be ginger. It was quite tender. It must have been macerated in mirin and maybe rice wine vinegar. It was delicious. This dish was $12. I had a grilled tenderloin salad which was 4 oz of nicely rare beef tenderloin with mixed greens tossed in a delicious pinot noir-mustard dressing and crispy angel hair potatoes. Delicious. Lovey dressing. I had a glass of Pinot-Noir from the Russian River Valley area... I don't recall the vintner. Fabulous lunch for $14 They have much more than salads; the luncheon menu includes appetizers, sandwiches and well as fulll entrees. The service was good. I liked it enough that I am taking 5 of my girl friends for a dinner out the next weekend. Terry Pogue

The dinner sounds good. But aren't you afraid that the ones you didn't
invite may be jealous?

So nice in fact that I'm going back next week with some other girl friends. We are turning Oakville Grille into our "gals night out" place. I was there last week with my husband for lunch. I had the crab cake sandwich which was just lovely, no filler, nice lump crab served on crustless grilled bread a rather unusual slaw and a great tartar sauce loaded with jalapeno. Also served was a tasty red dipping sauce but the tartar sauce was so good I didn't bother. My husband had the seared ahi tuna which he adores. Very generous portion of ahi. terry
