Fodor's Review:

It's hard not to feel like a master of the universe when ensconced in this coolly elegant dining room with a drop-dead view of the Capitol. Oversize floral arrangements, tones of blue-gray, a dramatic glass-enclosed wine cellar, and quasi-Danish modern furniture form a backdrop to the contemporary cuisine. Dry-aged rib eye, marinated hanger steak, and filet mignon with roasted shallots are the meaty choices. But soft-shell crabs and butter-steeped lobster make a good showing, too, as do sides such as mashed Yukon Golds and goat-cheese tubetti that seems like deluxe macaroni and cheese. The lemon pound cake finishes things off nicely.
