Oya!

So tonight I'll be dining at Oya (777 9th St. NW), the sushi/american restaurant in DC's Penn Quarter. It's my first dinner in DC since the new baby has been born; that's 6 weeks, to be exact. I don't know a lot about this place, so I decided to do some research. So far I have been able to find out that Oya's "co-chefs" Jonathan Seningen from Le Paradou and James Stouffer from the Château Elan Winery & Resort in Georgia met snowboarding in Argentina. What this has to do with the great food? I have no idea, but people like to know little tidbits. Washingtonian Magazine says that Oya is "sexy and delicious". I can't wait to see what it's like inside. I don't think I have ever eaten in a firelit dining room before. Bring it on!
