[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you tried Baltimore?  I agree with your assessment.

I find DC restaurants pretty overrated.  And I'm not a fan of chains.

Helmand (Afghani food)

Thames Street Oyster House (seafood)

There used to be a wonderful vegetarian place called The Zodiac on Charles Street, but it shut down.

Sotta Sopra is an Italian place on Charles Street.

And if you are willing to venture into the Baltimore suburbs, Bombay Nights is an Indian restaurant in Perry Hall that is absolutely fantastic.  [/quote]

Agree with all except never tried the poster house. Baltimore has,way better food. A hole in the wall has better pizza/subs than just about anywhere here.

But I think overall, it's not the real fine dining DC is missing so much as everything else- there's virtually no good lunch food or carryout food or middle of the road places. Just nasty reheated pizza slice places, fast food, or yet another restaurant that's some type of mediteranianesque, barely decent, limited menu fare with a geographical point of reference in the name. Honestly, I'm a native and I've never eaten at a good deli in DC in my entire life. I think the MD burbs have better options by far than DC for lunch and carryout, but not VA and definitely not DC.

I think you're on crack. There are a ton of small lunch places in Farragut that are cheap and delicious, like the little greek place on 19th, or Moby Dick, or Bub and Pop's, or Wicked Waffle, or the Korean noodle place on 19th, or a bunch of other sub-$10 lunch places that are delicious. Sounds like you don't know what you're talking about at all, or you're a tourist who thinks the Smithsonian is "downtown."[/quote]

Delicious?  [/quote] hmmm interesting. Since you mentioned the Smithsonian let's throw the NMAI food court in there too. [/quote]
