help me find the right cool restaurant downtown (ish)

In your shoes, I would definitely do Petite Cerise - same chef as the Dabney. It’s awesome. Great food and atmosphere.

Same PP - since you said Georgetown, I’ll also suggest Lutece.

I would second compass rose. I think it qualifies as “cool” and has good food.

Maydan might qualify as “cool”, but I’ve never really enjoyed a meal there. It’s ok, but something like Supra has way better food.

Not sure how that happened. Wrong thread but while you are waiting for your dinner guest, this is an author suggestion.

I would agree with these - would also add in Maricosa's in Shaw and an oldie but still good - Estadio in Logan. I love Nina May too.
