Favorite restaurants for out-of-town guests?

OP here. Thanks for the tips! There are some really good ideas here. I have to admit that I'm a bit nervous about hosting these family friends - they're 10 years older than my parents. Needless to say, I want to be sure we take them to all the appropriate DC sights and show them a really good time without breaking the bank. Ugh, the pressure. They're from Europe and literally travel 80% of the year for fun (they're retired).

Ii think Oyamel is fun, although maybe a little young for this purpose. For fancy there is the Willard - which is a DC institution. There is a good lunch place/bistro in there if you just want the experience without the fancy meal. Clyde's is classic american. What about Hook in Georgetown, or the casual one next store to it.

Pho Viet on Rt. 1 in Alexandria is excellent. The best Pho in the area though is Pho Vn One in Beltsville, MD. Also on Rt.1.
