Restaurants in DC?
A friend and I are visiting DC in late April. We're looking for nice/different restaurants. (Simply being expensive doesn't make a restaurant "nice" or "different.") We're staying in DC and are looking for restaurants around Metro stations that may be a little off the beaten path. Yes, there's always Dupont Circle, but I'm looking for specific restaurants and people's favorites. Any thoughts?

A sampling of sublime food off the beaten path in DC:
Montmartre - Eastern Market metro or a very pleasant 10-15 minute walk from the Capitol through the Capitol Hill neighborhood. Good choice anytime, but would be especially nice for a weekend lunch so you could check out the market area action. Reserve. http://www.montmartre.us/
Komi - Dupont Metro but located in the less visited Dupount East neighborhood. No real website, the one below just has address and phone. Google it - Komi is on everyone's top 5 list, often at #1. Somewhat casual considering the stellar quality. Reserve. http://www.komirestaurant.com/
Dukem - Right at the U St. Metro station. Among the better of the 50 or so Ethiopian restaurants in DC. Good anytime, but especially for dinner before hitting the clubs along U St. http://www.dukemrestaurant.com

Skewers on P St. near DuPont Circle for Middle Eastern / Mediterranian (and also Luna Grill downstairs for brunch).
Tenpenh, 1001 Pennsylvania Ave, Asian fusion; Jaleo is almost always crowded but the tapas are very good and it's fun, 480 7th St., Spanish tapas.
During the day the Mezzanine Cafe in the Museum of Women in the Arts is a great spot for lunch, the building is very pretty and there is no entrance fee to eat.

Mie n Yu in Georgetown is VERY unusual and inventive. For pretty reliable reviews of all these places, check out www.washingtonian.com.
