Mietta's Review
Professionally run restaurant catering for a business crowd. The menu is Italian inspired and the space is discreet, perfect for political lobbying. The wine list is reasonable and the food is very good value for the quality. Foreign Affair enjoys many, many regulars.
This is all about to change the new owner intends to revamp the business with a new kitchen team and adding a cocktail lounge and bar to the restaurant. These changes should occur in April 05.
