It really depends what you're looking for; what kind of food, what kind of atmosphere, what kind of crowd, etc...

Crowded on the weekend, so definitely make a reservation. You'll also spot the occasional celeb there. They're at 14th and K Streets NW. Georgia Brown's does upscale soul food (fried chicken and gizzards, collards), so if you don't mind working out the next day... Cashion's Eat Place in Adams Morgan is a bit pricey, but comes highly recommended. Also very good seafood dishes. They're at 18th and Columbia Rd.

I live between Bethesda and Dupont Circle, but I'd pick Dupont Circle any day for dining. Pesce is my favorite for seafood. Gabriels is my favorite brunch--not an egg and meat brunch; Obelisk is outstanding for pre-fix; Johnny's Half Shell for gourmet southern seafood (mostly--but I love their chicken and dumplings); (these are all on P St. near 20th). Then there's Vidalia just a couple of blocks away, rated as one of the best southern gourmet restaurants in the U.S., Kindeads on Pennsylvania Ave. (really I St.) between 20 and 21, Galileo (probably world famous), DC Coast, on K at 14th (an appetite producing walk). This hardly touches the surface of what's around Dupont Circle. There's also the Tabard Inn just several blocks east and south of the circle. I hope you plan to take in some Theater while you're here. East of Dupont is the "theater district." Woolly Mammoth on Church near 14th, Studio 14th & P, the Church Street theater between 18 and 17, and the Shakespeare Theater around 8th St. I recommend you not do the Kennedy Center, Warner Theater, or National Theater. Those theaters produce national tour shows (e.g. "Rent"), which might be good, but not the special experience of seeing extremely good acting and directing in an intimate setting. If you decide on one of the Theaters near 14th and P, you should be happy with dinner at the Morrison Clark Inn which is nearby (12th and Mass.). Enjoy your visit.
