[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look down on the whole restaurant scene here. Yes, there are exceptions, esp among the very expensive and ethnic hole-in-the-wall places, but as a whole it is so painfully mediocre. It really bugs me that there's no mid-range restaurants that would offer creative, great food. Why can't they do it? California can do it, New York can do it, friggin Philly can do it, not to mention countless cities in Europe, Asia, Australia, South America (haven't been to Africa, so no personal experience there)... But in DC it's all: 'Baaaa! It's humanly impossible to produce an interesting plate of food of any kind for under $40.'[/quote]

Oh I am so with you there. And often the food isn't even that good. Like DC has a million pizza places and like 7 of them are decent and they all charge $30 a pie. Or you can't get a literal sandwich for less than $16 anyway but plenty of the are crap -- so you just have to know which of the $16 sandwiches are actually worth $16 and which are just you being swindled.

Also even the really good places go downhill after a year or so because the head chef will step back a bit and they'll try to scale up and quality tanks. But prices never come back down. They aren't based on quality they are based on popularity.[/quote]

+4 I don’t trust any lists or reviews anymore. So much mediocre food. We only keep going back to a handful of restaurants we randomly found over the last 20 years.
