[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what constitutes a DC vibe unless we are talking about places like Ben's Chili Bowl or The Florida Avenue Grill. Otherwise Founding Farmers would be high on my list. Capital Grille too. [/quote]

Sorry to be blunt, but I'd be embarrassed to take out of towners to Founding Farmers, which is terrible, or Capital Grille, which is a chain with locations on the west coast.

How about some quality restaurants that are unique to DC:
Mintwood Place
Central
Cafe Milano (the food is nothing special but it's certainly a DC power spot if that's what you're after)
Fiola Mare--beautiful views of Kennedy Center, monuments 
Grill Room -- Frank Ruta is probably the best chef in DC
Chez Billy in Petworth--good French food in a cool neighborhood
Red Hen in Bloomingdale--another one with great food in a real DC neighborhood

These are all some good ones!  I also like Vinotecca down on U Street or one of the 14th Street/Logan restaurants - Estadio, Birch and Barley, Pearl Dive Oyster bar.[/quote]
