Matisse, its a newish French on Wisconsin. The food is divine (service ok).

I like Le Chat Noir and Persimmon.

Had an awful meal at Lia's the other day. Wouldn't go back again - which is a shame because I liked it before.

Mmm....Tons of Fun burger at Cheesecake Factory. It makes you fat, but it sure does taste good.

Go up the street a bit and eat at Persimmon. Lia's isn't bad, but isn't that good either. And the Capital Grille is OK, but the pickings are slim around Friendship Heights (unlike all the people eating at the Cheesecake Factory and Maggiano's -- they are enormous!!).

PF Changs? Maggiano's ??? Oh come on, just say it. Cheesecake Factory. Now THERE is a real hidden gem.

j/k. I live here and have to say all the restaurants here are pretty putrid. Indique Heights is the best of the bunch. Lia's is OK.

Actually, the two best places are down Wisconsin 2 blocks: Cafe of India (better than Indique) and Le Chat Noir.

I love Maggiano's. Great food/service even though it's a chain.

Lia's is ok--nice seating area outside anyway if there's good weather so that's a plus.

capitol grill if you like steak and like to spend money great service,

pf chang's if you'd like to go low-key and reliable and chain.

Indique Heights is good. There are a lot of mediocre restaurants theere.

Capital Grille

Sushi ko.

I haven't been over there in a while and I have a colleague coming into town and staying over there, where we'll meet for dinner. What place has good food, service, etc?
Thanks!
