I had forgotten how much I love AnBar’s unlimited dinner option. The food was fabulous, and the entire experience was delightful. I will be back soon.

The mussels in a white wine butter sauce ($19) and bread with whipped butter (free appetizer) were phenomenal. I cannot recommend the mussels enough; they were better than the mussels that I had at Bistrot du Coin in Washington, DC. I do not recommend the Lyonnaise potatoes, which were just roasted potatoes with bacon and onions, as a side dish as it was dry and not a good value ($8).
