And if you live in London it's very common to take the tube, even if you can afford to take taxis everywhere. Even, gasp, politicians take the tube. And rich people also take the bus.

Thanks for all the other suggestions.

Yes-- Tube can be faster for many A - B point journeys.

I bet they have Brazillian streakhouses in London as well. And people walking around with meat on a stick may not be the posh experience Op is looking for.

If they are from London, they may assume that taxi's cost a lot more than they do and that the city is much, much larger than it actually is.

I refer to D.C. as a small southern town. Most people I encounter abroad assume it's London- , Moscow- , Paris-like---you know, a capital city.

What about something Fogo de Chao?

CityZen?
restaurant at the Newseum?
Citronelle?

These are good suggestions, in particular City Zen. I've also heard good things about Corduroy. But those aren't on the red line.

I puzzled me that guests who want to visit the best restaurants in the city, on an expense account, want to take Metro.

Ack! I am guilty of not fully reading the original post! I hate when people do that, sorry. But I wouldn't take Metro for a night like this, either.

The Palm is about the 9th best steakhouse in a city where most steakhouses aren't that great.

America Eats Tavern may be fun for non-Americans.

That's a really good idea - but I doubt they'll get in a week from Saturday.

Second.

Also, Vidalia. Short on atmosphere, long on taste.
