Cheesetique

2411 Mt. Vernon - also see update HERE

This is a cheese store with a small restaurant & wine bar in back.

On a Thursday, there was long wait for a table or spot at the bar for only two people. Fortunately, we spent the time looking at the cheese and buying some.

We ordered 3 cheeses with the Orange Fig Spread as an optional "Accompaniment". We had one soft cheese, one salty, and one fruity. They were pretty good, but not great. I prefer them being stronger. After that we got some flatbread or crostini or something. It was covered in cheese and it was pretty good. The wines - I had two white wines were solid, but not great. (Sauvignon Blanc Ponga ‘09 White Burgundy Vigneron Réunis ‘07 France).
Price wasn't too bad as cheese platters tend to be expensive.
Overall, it was a nice place, something a bit different and intimate, but not a top favorite - although I was pretty impressed by the cheese on sale, so I'll go back for that.
