 OP, as other PPs have mentioned, the places you have listed are primarily places people go for expense account outings and not our "most acclaimed restaurants". You're also heavy on the Italian-French-American cuisines in your list. DC, like many other cities, excels in types of foods where it has a large immigrant population.

Have you ever tried Ethiopian food? When I lived in NYC for a decade, I would always try to eat it when I visited DC because it's so good here. How about Asian foods? Like the other Indian PP, I think Rasika is fine for some a night out, but there is much better Indian food in the burbs (ex: Woodlands, Mayuri). Thai X-ing or Little Serow are great for Thai. There's a Laotian restaurant called Thip Khao that was one of Bon Appetit's 50 best restaurants in America. As others have mentioned, there is excellent Chinese in the burbs (you complain it's mostly chain restaurants, but try closing your Fodor's guide and go somewhere recommended on the Washingtonian Cheap Eats list).

But if that's all too adventurous for your palate and you want to complain about how mediocre the food is here in DC, go ahead, but please retitle your post "Mediocre European cuisine at expense account restaurants in DMV " [/quote]
+1  And if you are interested in Asian cuisines, don't forget Momofuku just opened.[/quote]
