Agree with Dabney and Little Pearl.

If you are willing to come to the Hill/H Street area, also:

Caruso's Grocery
Little Grand (it's a pizza place but the pizza is phenomenally good and the spot is super cute and cozy, great cocktails too)

+1. And it is right in Dupont Circle.


Have you been to Tabard Inn in the last 10 years? It’s a relic.


Agree. Go across the street to Iron Gate.


The atmosphere at Iron Gate is lovely, but the food is underwhelming at best.

What did you decide OP? We've been meaning to check out Lutece, Le Clou, and Brasserie Liberte.
