Prince of Petworth, Chez Billy is offering a second preview dinner at the Montserrat House. My wife and I went to the first one, and were quite impressed, not only with the charcuterie, as PoP points out, but also the cheeses. The various courses and wines were quite good and well paired, though it looks like they're doing a different menu from the one they did when we were there.
Chez Billy is a French restaurant looking to open up in Petworth in the next few months. Apparently the location was one of the few upscale restaurants for African-Americans back in the day. I'm definitely looking forward to checking them out once they open. You can sign up for the dinner
here; the menu is below.
