Zaytinya or Jaleo. Rasika if we can get a reservation. Kapnos Taverna in Arlington if we're over that way.

No. it isn't 1992. Blue Duck Tavern, a Jose Andres, Rasika or even Zaytina.

All of our out of town guests request Peking Gourmet Inn in Falls Church, VA. A quick drive out of D.C. and absolutely phenomenal food & service.

Also on the casual side, but feels cool for visitors is the Hamilton. We took friends there with kids and it was a hit.

I like to take them to Jose Andres restaurants - they get that star quality and the food is usually just different enough to seem a little exotic.

Group of 6 people. Nice but not extremely expensive. Food that would appeal to all taste ranges. Quality DC experience.
