Gooey cheese bread that will make you melt

Almost a full year ago, I found myself exploring DC with my friend Joy. We ventured to Compass Rose in U Street and with the recent chilly weather, I longed for the gooey, cheesy Khachapuri —a traditional Georgian cheese-filled bread. With Halloween festivities in full swing, Justin and I stopped by Redeem to grab free paintings (courtesy of A Creative DC & KID ART), then quickly grabbed a table for two. The dimly-lit venue placed candles on every table, while spider webs and mini skeletons filled the walls and ceilings. Young adults filled each table ranging from a six-month old pregnant woman and her lover to a group of co-workers enjoying food and drinking the night away.

Looks (and tastes) more outstanding than anyone gives it credit.While our waitress didn't offer dessert, I ordered a final cocktail: the Compass Rose. It's exactly as it's described, a champagne filled drink infused with pomegranate syrup, seeds and a splash of rose water. It's the perfect way to end the evening in the hipster-decorated restaurant.Explore this hole-in-a-wall treat and bring your next date here.Compass Rose is located on 1346 T St NW.
