Places to eat in Washington D.C.

[Maulik]

I've got nothing to do tomorrow and I suspect its going to be a good day to go out for dinner. I have no idea where I want to go so any suggestions would be solid.

What's your price range? There are a bunch of good, reasonably priced places in Georgetown, namely J. Paul's, Clyde's, Pizzeria Paradiso and Paper Moon are a couple of my favorites. If you're looking for something a bit more pricy, The Prime Rib is very nice.

Also, are you just in town visiting?

I'm not a fan of these restaurants. I do however love Houston's (Bethesda, Rockville) if you're familar with that, similar setting, great American food.

price <= $60

I'm getting a haircut, go to school @ UMD. Unfortunately, I don't make it out to DC often enough. GU student?

[PoBoy321]

I haven't been to the Houston's down here, but I went to one up in Jersey (not sure if it's a chain) but I liked it. You might also want to look into 3rd Edition on Wisconsin, which I liked the few times I went there. For Mexican food, I like Cactus Cantina and Guapo's both on Wisconsin. Paper Moon is an Italian place (right off of M St., I want to say on 31st, but I could be a block off) which I really like and is in your price range, so if you're in the mood for Italian, that's my recommendation.

EDIT: And yeah, I go to GU.

I've eaten at Paper Moon. It is a pretty good Italian restaurant that will get you a meal for less than $30 w/o drinks. There are a ton of restaurants in Georgetown, you can pretty much walk the streets and pick a restaurant. Legal Sea Food is another option...I think there's one near the Foggy Bottom Metro stop.

I go to UMD too.

Jaleo is really good and not too bad if you like Tapas.

[Rushmore]

It's been a while, but there are two great restaurants on Connecticut right across rom the Uptown Theater--Spices (pan-Asian), and a Vietnamese Pho restaurant (Pho 49?).

I used to eat at each weekly, and they were both excellent.

Great restaurants in DC: Red Sage - Bottom Level (near Gallery Place), DC Coast (14th street), Ceiba (Near Metro Center), Corduroy (near metro center), Filomena (G-Town). These are all pricey and require reservations but are excellent.

Guapo's is not as good as Cactus. Cactus has great food, but look out, b/c there will be a lot of families and little kids there. It's a great neighborhood place (and it's in the "nice" part of DC).

I would go to Adam's Morgan though if I were you. Less touristy than gtown and still has a bunch of good places.

Maryland: They opened up a Bone Fish Grill in Kentlands thats got good fish. If you want, in Germantown there is Flaming Pit which has the best prime rib around.

Virginia: PF Changs, Maggiano's and Cheesecake Factory in Tysons Corner.

DC: Theres places for every type of needs. If your going out afterwards, The Reef in Adams Morgan has good food. The Bison Burger is amazing. There is a Clydes on M street in DC that has good food. Also one in Tysons and Reston.

I serve at the Afterwords cafe on Connecticut in Dupont. Good food, and you can gete drinks dinner dessert for less than $50.

Luigi's on 19th between L & M. Great italian.

[DrPublo]

There's a place in Adam's Morgan called Cashion's Eat Place. Really good French-American food, and the menu changes every day. Not too expensive w/o drinks.

I recommend it.

I guess I'm too late, but other good local places:

DC:

There's an Olive's in DC now... I've only ever been to the one at the Bellagio in Vegas which was pretty good, so I imagine this one is pretty good.

I haven't been to Butterfield 9 but I've heard its great (and very expensive).

Some of the top restaurants that always get mentioned are Citronelle and Equinox but I have tried both on several occasions and wasn't too impressed.
