I wasn't sure what to expect as far as desserts go in DC...I guess part of me thought that all desserts would have a political pun to it.
First stop in DC: Nage Restaurant. I ordered the Flourless Chocolate Cake with Dark Chocolate Mousse and Hazelnut Gelato and the Lemon Goat Cheesecake with Blueberry Compote and Candied Lemon Zest.
What does a goat cheesecake look like? Fuzzy when you're taking a picture of it with your camera phone after a glass of wine. Yes, I'm a lightweight. More importantly, what does it taste like? It tastes like goat cheesecake - you can distinctly taste the goat cheese, but it's not overbearing at all. This is all of course, assuming you like goat cheese to begin with. I really enjoyed this dessert, oddly enough. I didn't shove huge bites in my mouth so that probably helped.
So how does the Flourless Cake stand up to other flourless cakes? It was average.
I personally think it had an identity crisis...it was halfway between a cake and brownie, but not exactly cake consistency (light airy), and not brownie (chewy denser).
Maybe they should try making a goat cheese brownie?
