"Bombay Club has been a fixture in Downtown D.C.’s dining scene since it opened three decades ago, where owner Ashok Bajaj is known as a consummate host to the city’s power brokers — the restaurant is across the street from the White House, after all. Bajaj is responsible for being one of the first to introduce Indian fine dining to D.C., establishing himself as a major player in the city’s restaurant scene and opening nine other restaurants since. Here, the decor and menu don’t chase trends, relying instead on tried-and-true white table cloths and consistent preparations of dishes from across India’s vast culinary landscape."

"With generous portions of finely prepared seafood, a welcoming, vibrant atmosphere, and a level of service that never disappoints, McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood – Crystal City misses out on the top spot by a hair’s breadth. Despite the quality of food on offer, prices are more than reasonable, making it as equally attractive for mid-week lunches as it for special occasions. While you can’t really go wrong with whatever you choose from the menu, the Shrimp and Andouille “Mac & Cheese” and Chesapeake Buttermilk Fried Shrimp are both worth the visit alone."

This restaurant is a high-end steak and seafood chain that is known for its ambiance and happy hour deals.

"Columbia Heights's Flip it LJ Diner, located at 1432 Park Road (between North Hiatt Place and North Kenyon Street), is another top choice, with Yelpers giving it five stars out of 87 reviews. Alex S., who visited it on Dec. 26, wrote, "This is a great neighborhood spot for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We came for breakfast and I was impressed. Tons of food for cheap. Many things are of Hispanic influence, which makes for some unique breakfast items not typically found at your regular diner."
