Oya has an AWESOME lunch special. Three (delicious) courses for $20. Food is sushi/asian seafood.

Good Italian Choices: Tuscan West (Franklin Square), Siroc (McPherson Square), Potenza (near McPherson). Pizza, Matchbox in Chinatown.

What about the food trucks? You can follow them on twitter. There are usually a ton parked right by Metro Center (Macy's side). No place to eat exept for benches but fun for foodies.

Near Foggy Bottom, you might like Founding Farmers or District Commons.
Near the convention center, I like Acadiana--not sure if that would fall under "too expensive" though.
If this were me, however, I'd jump on the blue line to Federal Triangle, have your family member walk or metro to Archives metro, and meet at Oyamel. It's a modern Mexican spot owned by Jose Andres, and they have great lunch specials.
Also, no matter where you choose, I recommend a reservation.

I have a family member in town this week attending a conference at the convention center. We want to meet up to ahve lunch, but I'm new to the area and have no idea what to suggest between there and Foggy Bottom. We're both foodies, and love sushi, Italian, salads, and everything else. But, we don't want anything too heavy or too expensive. Any suggestions?
