Notable Indian fine dining, from everything I've heard. Want to try the palak chaat on Eric's recommendation. Photo via @dcbreadbutterandcocktails (Instagram).

Possibly the finest example of fine dining meets Indian in the nation. Also the palak chaat (fried spinach) is amazing.

Nice mediterranean menu, a well known lunch spot.

One of DC's best restaurants. THE best place in the city for larger groups. Amazing small plates with a very strong seasonal vegetable program.

Hands down the most romantic restaurant in DC. Nice little bar, good not great cocktails, strong if a little obscure wine list, good food. Great service. And the atmosphere can't be beat.
