================================================ 100+ BEST RESTAURANTS (WASHINGTON DC METRO AREA) ================================================ The following is from an article appearing in the January 1994 edition of the Washingtonian. The original authors are Robert Shoffner (DC), David Dorsen (MD) and Thomas Head (VA). It is a collection of what they feel are the BEST restaurants in the area. It is highly recommended that you read the Washingtonian article to discover the complete reviews of the restaurants and to get the full flavor of the descriptions and recommendations. I have re-arranged the selections so that they are organized by LOCATION then the name of the restaurant. As of this date, I have eaten at 27 of the restaurants on the following list and can attest to their deserving to be chosen.
