Robert Campanell in response to Paul's advice to stay away from Tom Tom:

  Good Advice.  TOM TOM is "trendy tapas" resturant.  If you want a good
  "trendy tapas" resturant, try Jaleo.  The food and sangria are better.

  The best in places in Adams Morgan are La Fourchette, Cities, Perrys.

Well, I agree about Tom Tom and Jaleo (I love Jaleo).  But your best places
in Adams Morgan don't quite jibe with my faves.  Cities disappoints me for
some reason -- its menu tends to be filled with mediocre renditions of last
year's trendy dishes. Decent attempts, but never quite there.  And you left
out The Grill from Ipanema, the best Brasilian place in town with an
atmosphere straight out of Rio.  Not to mention Meskerem (Ethiopian) and
Bukara (West African).  
 
On a related topic, has anyone else notice the decline of Adams Morgan into
Georgetownishness?  These days, I generally prefer either P St./DuPont
(Pizza Paradiso, Pesce, Sakana) or U St (mostly for bars or brunch).
