| OP here. Thank you all! I'm dying to go to Little Serow but the no reservations situation won't work for this particular event. I will propose DGS and maybe Mourayo. Also looking at Mintwood Place, which turns out to be closer to their hotel than DGS or 14th St. |

| DGS is a good lunch place, but I don't think it would be fun for dinner. Mintwood is awesome! |

Oof. Have you eaten at Bistrot du coin lately? Food is horrible and it's too loud for catch-up conversation. |

Been there twice and still cannot understand the hype. |

Mintwood Place is fabulous. Better than all other recommendations here by a good bit.
Sounds like their hotel may be the Washington Hilton (the big one), which is at 1900 Connecticut but not actually 19th & Connecticut--more like Connecticut and Florida. If you don't mind a medium-length walk (maybe 3/4 mile, I'd guess), the walk from there to Mintwood is sort of nice--up Columbia Ave. If they're tea people, they might like a casual breakfast or lunch at Teaism during their stay. If they're coffee nerds, they should know about Filter on 20th St., down the hill from their hotel. |

| If you're into japanese, you can't go wrong with Sushi Taro at 17th and P. |

| Agree that Sushi Taro is outstanding, and that Hank's, while casual, is also very good. Both Hank's and Mintwood also have sidewalk patio seating, if the weather's good and that appeals to you. |
