do you know a website that has recent restaurant reviews for the DC area?What are the best, quality restaurants in DC?
I would highly recommend Bambule - mediterranean tapas that are excellent
For American food I would highly recommend Old Ebbitt Grill - it's classic, very popular and, actually, my brother's very favorite restaurant. They are well known for their oysters but everything is very good.
For Italian, Cafe Milano in Gtown is very popular
If your looking for someplace that has more fine dining, dressy, expensive, etc. I would highly recommend both 1789 and Butterfield 9

My personal favorite for Southern Italian is not in DC, but a bit west... in Fairfax... and I'm totally fussy and a complete foodie. It's place called The Esposito's on Lee Hwy: http://www.restaurantrow.com/MoreInfo.cf鈥?/a> Take a look at the menu from that site... and know that the owners are Italian from New Jersey. They opened the place about 20 years ago and it's just perfect. This is the most authentic Southern Italian fare since I was a child (I'm 46)
A waiter with a white apron pours your cheap, homemade tasting red regional table wine from a carafe... it's exactly what Uncle Lou brought up from the cellar... the food is real and tastes like Nona made it for Sunday supper... the gravy is Sicilian/Jersey/South Philly all the way.... and there's a guy in black chino's and a white t-shirt behind the bar talking to the regulars. It's something like upscale and neighborhood all wrapped into one... families come... business people come... and you half expect the Mafia to stroll in during appetizers.
Somehow the food is Nona's and the presentation is fine dining. It's just incredible!What are the best, quality restaurants in DC?
For Italian food i'd recommend Anna Maria's on Dupont Cir.
A favorate of several presidents especially JFK, one of his favorates.
for classic american food Old Ebbit Grill... one of the best restaraunts in the U.S.
I love Old Ebbitt Grill. I go there everytime I visit the DC area. 1789 is nice also. For seafood, try Crisfield restaurant in Silver Spring, MD (on Georgia Avenue. Also in Silver Spring is Vicino Ristorante (Italian) -- but this is definitely an old school type of place, not for the sophisticated person.
As far as websites, try chowhound.com. Also, washingtoncitypaper.com.What are the best, quality restaurants in DC?
