Good news for those who love the food at 1789 Restaurant (1226 36th St. NW) but not necessarily the prices.

The venerable Georgetown restaurant’s summer tasting menu is back, starting tonight. Fifty bucks will get each person in your party a four-course tasting menu. The special, which goes until Sept. 13, is good Monday through Friday nights, and is a great way for mere mortals (Hill staffers, junior account executives, fellow journalists) to sample some sweet fare.
