Robert Weland is the third chef in less than two years at Poste, located in
Washington's Hotel
Monaco. Tom Sietsema is impressed and says that Weland is "confident enough and
capable enough"
to pull off some slightly daring menu choices. And he says not to miss "one of the
headiest
side dishes playing in the neighborhood: hot, lightly truffle-perfumed french fries
presented
in a newspaper cone." Two stars.
