Washington, D.C. - best restaurants
What is everyone's favorite restaurants in DC? We're going down for a wedding in July and have one night to ourselves. My partner went to school in DC years ago and we haven't been there in years. We're foodies and our first choice was Citronelle, but unfortunately, they're closed on Sunday and Monday nights. What else would y'all recommend?
Thanks,
Annie

If Citronelle was your first choice I'll assume you're looking for a pretty high end evening.
Hands down, my first choice: Komi (mediterranean)
After that in no particular order: CityZen (new american), Vidalia (southern), Rasika (indian), and Restaurant Eve (new american) in Alexandria.
Have fun choosing and dining. So many great opportunities in DC these days.

Hey obxgirl!
You left out Ethiopian. I think it's really special. I live in a foodie place, and I miss my dal.
Back in the day, I liked Meskerum. I also like Dukat.
As much as I love Charleston, I miss my DC

Perhaps Tom Sietsema, the Washington Post food critic, can help with his Fall and Spring Dining Guides:

Komi's is great, but I believed closed on Sunday & Monday.
There r 2 Raskia's now, the original in Penn Quarter on D St NW and the new one in West End.
The Source on Penn Ave around the corner from the Newseum which is Wolfgang Pucks Asian Fusion restaurant.
Estadio on 14th ST NW for good Spanish tapas - casual, but very good
Corduroy for American on 9th St NW in Penn Quarter.
A quick trip on the Redline metro is Palena on Connecticut Ave. NW.
Happy Eating!
