oh it’s not just a lounge, but a “dining” lounge. it took me about 6 tries to get that right, but cloud has established what a dining lounge means to me. right in the heart of dupont circle, i checked out cloud last wintery thursday and it was a pleasure. cloud, (aka the former savino cafe), has opened its atmophere up to a lighter billowy feel, and drapes you in tapas and drinks galore.

glad to see that some of the savino bartenders are around. management is still working out the official happy hour specials, but the manager, jamie, was able to accommodate an alumni event for us. the tapas were all very pleasant and reasonably priced, and the crowd picked up as dinner time rolled by.

check it out! couldn’t be in a better location…didn’t see the late night activities or the bedlike decor ^[1], but i’m interested to see what happens in the clouds at night…
