Welcome to my first restaurant review. As much as I would like to cook something new every week, that’s just not the reality of things. I travel quite a bit whether it be for work or for leisure, which means it’s not always practical to prepare a meal for the week. On top of that, I also do have nights where I have no desire to cook or I’m just too busy to cook or go to the grocery store. On other occasions, I have the time to meet up with friends and enjoy a night out.
To keep a running consistency of posts, I decided to start reviewing what I order at restaurants as well. I eat out quite a bit and these reviews may end up being beneficial for someone who lives in an area I’ve travelled to.
This week for work I had the opportunity to travel and meet the rest of my team in person for the first time. Busy is an understatement. We had a lot of work to get through this week, but we made amazing progress. It was great to spend time with my team and get to know them better.
I was also able to spend some time with my family this week. Last weekend, my sister and I went apple picking at a farm nearby. It was spur of the moment but a lot of fun. We spent most of our time waiting in line, but we tasted an Apple Cinnamon doughnut and some Apple Cider while we waited. Once we got up to the apple trees, we got a little lost looking for the apples we wanted, but we eventually found our way. Tonight we’re thinking of going on a haunted hay ride, and tomorrow we’re seeing a show.
A few weeks before my work travel, I was able to meet up with some friends for dinner, drinks, and dessert. Coincidentally, we ended up ordering the same things, two and two. We went to a restaurant called Silver, which has locations in Cathedral Heights, Washington D.C. and in Bethesda, Maryland. None of us had been to Silver before, so we were excited to try it out!
Here’s what we ordered:
House-made Tomato Basil Soup
Two of us started off with this Tomato Basil soup. I love soup and always order it when I have the chance. This soup came over to our table steaming hot and smelled delicious. I’m actually not a huge fan of tomato soups, but I really liked that this wasn’t overpowering with tomato. I’m not sure what was in this, but there was a great mix of flavors.
Crispy Brussel Sprouts
Yummy! These crispy brussel sprouts were a great sharing appetizer. I didn’t have too many of these because I also ordered the soup, but the plate was empty when it left the table. I would really recommend these to split. With the soup, I found them to be heavy and filling, but if I hadn’t had the soup, they would have been perfect.
Moroccan Tomatoes Tagine
Another big win. This dish was also plant-based and gluten free. As you can probably see from the picture, this was very tomato heavy. I wasn’t expecting so much tomato (even though the dish says tomatoes), but this was really great. It’s got a mix of quinoa and leeks and a few other goodies. I ended up being full before finishing this but took the rest home in a box. I had it the next morning for breakfast with my omelet. It was a great mix!
Truffle Bison Meatloaf
Don’t let the truffle bit deceive you or scare you away. If the name didn’t say truffle, you would never know that there’s truffle in this recipe. I didn’t order this dish, but those that did said it was really good and they would order it again!
Overall, I really recommend trying out this restaurant and some of these dishes. The atmosphere was great and the food was delicious. Check it out for yourself and let me know what you think!

Looking forward to eating there next time I am in the area.
