Today we dined at Sutra Lounge in Adams Morgan for the first time, trying their happy hour specials. The happy hour food specials are $5. Happy Hour drinks are $2-$5. Happy hour is Monday-Friday, 5:30-8:30 pm.

The mussels had a flavorful creamy sauce and a nice smoky taste from little slivers of bacon; I was impressed with that dish. The “Sutra wings” had a tasty sauce. The calimari had good flavor and texture and did not get rubbery when the dish cooled down (which is great). I didn’t try the cod fritters or tofu bites.

I also ordered a ginger rice side order ($6) which was flavorful but a bit overcooked, and the house merlot ($3 during happy hour) which was fruity and much better than I expected.

On the negative side, the bartender was really slow at getting us drinks, napkins, and utensils. He also did not know that there was bacon in the mussels. He was nice enough though, and the girls thought he was hot. 🙂

I’ll definitely go back to Sutra for those mussels and to try more dishes. Yum.
