DC Restaurant to celebrate 13th birthday

Anonymous
ISI recommendations for a special place to take our daughter for dinner to celebrate her 13th birthday. I’m looking for something with great food and a fun/vestige vibe but it need not be fancy. We’re open to different types of cuisine. Her favorite is Zatinya, but we want to try something new. Thanks!

That should say festive. Autocorrect…

How about something like a Japanese steakhouse where the food prep at your table is quite a show?

This restaurant does an “Around the World” menu that looks fun:

How about Fig and Olive at City Center? The restaurant is kind of chic and glamorous and city center itself is always decorated and pretty.

Central? They do a flaming candle and my kids love the food. This is their fancy bday spot of choice.

Sounds like she has more sophisticated taste but my 13yo would like somewhere instagrammable.

For fancy with a nice setting, I like the conservatory tables at Little Pearl.

My kids always pick Franklins in Hyattsville for their birthday dinner.

Central would definitely be my choice.

Other fun options: Oyamel, St Anselms, Convivial, Centrolina.

Would she like fondue?

I like the Roost in DC because everyone can order something different, which makes it fun.

What about a Brazilian restaurant, or meat-on-a-stick, as my DS14 calls it. We went to Fogo de Chao recently, and DS loved it.

If she likes Zaytinya, what about Ilili? The food is delicious, and the setting lovely too (The Wharf)

My kids love fogo du chao, Tokyo Japanese steakhouse (or any teppanyaki), and le diplomate
