The Husband in Chief returned to DC in plenty of time for their romantic interlude, which lasted until 9:08 PM. Andrés' elaborate "avant-garde" minibar menu has dishes that "combine art and science as well as tradition and technique," says the website, which proclaims the eatery "one of the nation's most exciting dining experiences." The $225-per-person tasting menu changes frequently, and has starred dishes like Chichuly, Garden and Glass Salad, Tiger Nut Horchata, Beef Tendon Stuffed Churros, and Olive Oil Soup with frozen Mandarin Oranges.
The President pulled out all the Valentine stops for his wife, with whom he celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary last October as he battled for re-election.
"I've already got a gift, got the flowers," President Obama said in Georgia. "I was telling folks the flowers are a little easier, though, because I've got this Rose Garden. Lot of people keeping flowers around." He got appreciative laughter and applause.
The President's press pool had no sighting of the First Couple as they arrived and departed minibar, and were held at a nearby restaurant while the First Couple enjoyed their avante garde delights. Crowds filled the closed-off streets around minibar by the time the President and Mrs. Obama had finished dining, and mingled among the black SUVs from the motorcade and police vehicles.
