Mie N Yu Adds Ethnic Flare to New Menu

Washington, D.C. [June 10, 2003] – Executive Chef Tim Elliott has enhanced Washington’s “Feast For the Senses” with a newly evolved menu at the most innovative new restaurant in the Nation’s Capital.

Mie N Yu offers contemporary dishes from the Americas, highlighting flavors indigenous to the ancient Silk Road, including the cultures of Asia, the Mediterranean and Europe. Mie N Yu introduced a unique restaurant concept to Washington, D.C., with a menu that favored American cuisine, accented by ethnic flavors. However, after a few months of observing their guests’ feedback, Mie N Yu is ready to expand its culinary culture. “Our new menu reflects many of the core ingredients that we’ve had success with since our opening [in February 2003]. Now, in response to our guests, we’re preparing them using styles and presentations more reflective of Asian and Mediterranean cuisine,” says Chef Elliott.

The menu will continue to feature à la carte proteins and a wide variety of “sense-able” side dishes for the table to share. New twists on Mie N Yu’s most popular dishes include the Five Spice Ahi Tuna Steak, Korean Barbecued Short Ribs, Wasabi Crusted King Salmon, Thai Marinated Filet Mignon and Pistachio Crusted Pork Loin. Many of Mie N Yu’s original side dishes will remain on the menu including the acclaimed Edamame Succotash, Grilled Chinese Eggplant and Kimchee, Peruvian Mashed Potatoes and Thai Fried Rice.

Elliott is constantly creating new selections for the adventurous appetite. A Chef’s Tasting section has been added to the menu featuring distinctive flavors in petite portions, similar to Spanish tapas; and a six-course tasting menu is available during dinner. As the driving force behind this new menu, Chef Elliott will use his culinary talent to create flavorful dishes with an impeccable presentation. “Now that we’ve had such great success in our opening months, I’m ready to bring a new level of excitement to our menu that will compliment the incredible energy and décor of the restaurant,” says Chef Elliot.

Mie N Yu has been critically acclaimed for its exceptional décor and atmosphere. Guests dine in rich and varied settings from the plush daybeds and lanterns of the Turkish Tent to the silk and brocade-lined dining nooks of the Moroccan Bazaar. Mie N Yu’s General Manager, Oren Molovinsky, loves seeing people come into the restaurant awestruck. “I enjoy giving tours of the entire restaurant, it gives me the opportunity to show our guests the true vision Mie N Yu - Washington, D.C.’s escape from the ordinary and a feast for the senses.”
