| OP - I wouldn't consider any of the places you mentioned "fine dining"... |
| Ripple in Cleveland Park |
Seriously? Ripple is fine dining?
|
| What about Persimmon on Wisconsin Ave.? It is pretty easy to park around there. Relaxed but sharp dining room and I have had great meals there. Not pretentious. |

Not PP but I like Ripple a lot. I took OP not to be saying what is the nicest restaurant in DC, but what is a good (nonethnic) restaurant for adults. (Komi btw doesn't even take reservations for 5.) |
...she says helpfully.

Macon, Chevy Chase DC, very good and nice atmosphere
Redwood in Bethesda, nice space and good but not great food |
| I haven't been to Range but recently went to Aggio, in the same space, and thought it was not that good. Incredibly, laughably expensive and the food just didn't taste good enough to justify the cost. I predict these two don't last. I think Voltaggio is over-saturating the Friendship Heights market, and I was initially excited about his restaurants! |
| Blue Duck Tavern is on 24th and M. We always park on the street when we go there and the food is amazing. If for some reason you can't park on the street there is valet parking. |
Ripple PP here. Yes, I took it that OP was looking for a nice place, not "fine dining." Her own listed options make it clear she's not looking for the highest if high-end experience$. But thanks for your snotty post. You really added a lot of value to this thread. |
Plus 100 plus! |
| We really enjoyed Newton's Table in Bethesda. |
Not the PP, but OPs title specifically asks for fine dining. What about that is unclear? I like Ripple to, but suggesting it is no more helpful to the question OP sakes asked than pointing out that you didn't answer the question. Less, actually, since OP might mistakenly believe that Ripple is in fact fine dining. |
