Restaurants in D.C. Staying at the Renaissance

Hi. Two girlfriends getting away from the families. Looking for two really great - not expensive - restaurants for Wednesday and THursday night dinners. Staying at the Rennaisance on 999th street.

Zatinya is great - can be a little expensive but worth it! Small plates, made for sharing (Tapas) - Mediterranian, Turkish, etc..

Also - Rosa Mexicana is great!

I liked this place a lot for Spanish tapas they have quite the deal for happy hour if you don't mind eating between 3 pm and 7pm.

Matchbox on H St NW has really good food and is very reasonably priced. http://www.matchboxdc.com/ I like MikeT's suggestions of Jaleo & Oyamel.

Every one of the above recs are great (my top choices would be Jaleo followed by Zaytinya) - your neighborhood is chock full of great restaurants.

A few other fine places in your hotel are:

U might want to look at the menus and price range of the restaurants suggested. I would say that while most are very good to great, many of them would not be classified as your request for "not expensive."
