Just be sure to tell them in advance that you are trying to make a show. Alternatively, you could try the Old Ebbitt Grill on 15th Street across from the Treasury, but make sure you have a reservation. Don't know how the restaurants are at the Old Post Office Pavillion, but it certainly is close. Also haven't tried, but might be willing to try, the new(ish) seafood restaurant on the lowest level of the Shops at National Place.
