If you’re inside the bar, looking out into the circle, the small lights in the bar look as if they’re hanging from the trees in Dupont Circle – beautiful.

However, the service is mostly absent (albeit nice enough) in this often empty bar and the food is terrible. The margherita pizza we ordered had a crust that seemed like something out of a lunchables. (Washington Post average reader rating: 1 star)

Stick to the wine and enjoy the decor.

I caught up with the Fojol Bros‘ traveling food van in Dupont on Friday night: a little high on kitsch, but tasty enough to work. I had a little bite of their vegan Cauliflower & Potato dish and it was great – can’t wait to try the Eggplant! Basically, they travel around in brightly-colored coveralls and fake moustaches, playing ice cream truck music and then fun techno when they stop, serving Indian food in compostable dishes (props!), twittering all along. I had heard about them through twitter, assuming they were trying to cash in on the LA taco truck craze (they claim not). I think they’re still finding their footing, though – their backer/manager/? was hanging around asking what people thought, a little uneasy and a little too speidi. Anyway, good luck, guys!
