| Hi, looking for refreshed suggestions to take my inlaws to when they are visiting next month in DC or McLean/Arlington/Falls Church. They liked Old Ebbitt Grill and Clyde's when we've taken them there before. They are pretty conservative in what they eat- meat and potatoes type but love a good steak or seafood (if there's a meat option for him). Thank you for helping me brainstorm! |
| Any of the Great American restaurants. They're chains, but since your inlaws like predictable familiar food this might check off all the boxes for them. |
| Joe’s |
| J Gilberts in McLean. |
| Hank's at the Wharf |
| We took my aunt and uncle to Jaleo and they really got a kick out of it! |
You read "meat and potatoes" and suggested tapas and small plates? I'm guessing the inlaws aren't into sharing meals. |
|
The Smith in Penn Quarter
Brasserie Beck |
| J Gilberts or Trio in Merrifield, maybe North Italian in the Boro or Parc Deville in Mosaic or Cafe Colline in Arlington |
| If you are willing to go to Old Town, try Cosmopolitan Grill? My in-laws love that place. |
| My in laws sound similar and they like the Great American Restaurants. |
| J Gilberts will be right up their alley. |
| What about Martin's in Georgetown? They are celebrating their 90th anniversary, and it is fun to know the Kennedy's ate there and to learn other historical tidbits. Your in-game laws sound identical to mine. They are from OH...yours? |
| I like the Great American Restaurants suggestion. That would work well. Maybe Founding Farmers? (I know Sietsema hates that place with a passion, but your in laws would likely enjoy it). |
I’m a PP with picky in laws… from Ohio. |
