Thought I would list a few of my favorite restaurants in the Washington, DC area, just in case someone might decide to visit our seat of government. Very old restaurant, been around for years, and hardly mentioned anymore The Jockey Club. Very old, very rich. Take money. Vidalia, faily new within the past few years. Beautiful and terrific food. Expensive The Red Sage, big version of The Coyote Cafe in Santa Fe. Good food, reasonably priced in the Chile Bar. Pay more for the dining room but some very good dishes and the decor is a WOW. Jean-Louis at The Watergate. Take you life savings but you will have a meal you will never forget. Jean Louis is a master chef. More later with intermediate priced places. Terry

Pay more for the dining room but >some very good dishes and the decor is a WOW. i don't know how red sage compares to coyote cafe (never been there) but i have to say that red sage has been a bit of a dissapointment after all the hype. >Jean-Louis at The Watergate. Take you life savings but you will have a >meal you will never forget. Jean Louis is a master chef. if you are going to eat at the watergate, i would also recommend palladin. again, the prices are igh, but the food (and the service) are worth it. >More later with intermediate priced places. > >Terry > > > and if anyone is looking for take out places, rockland's barbeque is great. it is located at the top of georgetown on wisconsin, and has the best bbq takeout that i have ever eaten. adam

Pay more for the dining room but >some very good dishes and the decor is a WOW." I just had the pleasure of dining upstairs at Red Sage last week. I actually wanted to eat downstairs, but I decided to be price consious, and it also helped that I was free at 4:30p and didn't want to wait for downstairs to open at 5:30 and plus I was able to eat and still catch the 6.30 flight back. I had a really great meal for $24. It wasn't as fancy as downstairs (we had a GREAT meal there a couple of summers ago), but it was still more than edible, and far better than the meal I had at the Las Vegas Coyote Cafe last year (inside at the expensive one). My only disappointment was that due to the expansion of the upstairs place, they have temporarily closed their store, and I had hoped to pick up some of their baked goods to take home. -- Bill [email removed]

here are some more ideas: Vidalia (New Southern), 20th St (and M?) Jaleo (tapas), 7th and F
When we were in Washington DC last summer we had dinner at Paper Moon in Georgetown. We liked it because of the great ambiance, and good (modern) italian food. It was reasonably priced. Elise

Yes, Clyde's is a local chain but I've found there is GREAT disparity in quality between locations. I had terrible food and service at the Tysons Corner location. The Georgetown location, however, I've found to be very good. Just my opinion, of course. polenta-brain wrote: > 'scuse me,but Clyde's is a (local?) chain.

We got ATROCIOUS service at the Tyson's Clyde's. We usually go to the Reston Clyde's where the service is variable but always better than what we got at Tyson's. Bob Wells

Yes, I always thought the Reston Clyde's was the best....until I went to the one in Chevy Chase, near Maza Gallerie. I didn't even notice I was in a Clyde's. The food was incredible and the menu seemed different from the others. I'm not in love with the Tysons one either, but I *highly* recommend the new one in Chevy Chase. risa
