I disagree with your opinion about Cities.  The food tastes as good as it looks
Cities has the design of any resturant I've been to in Washington.  
Resturants are both entertainment and dining experiences.  

I'm not a fan of African cuisine, so I left those out on my list.  I've never
been to The Grill, so I can't comment on that one.

I live in Adams Morgan, and I've noticed "The Georgetowning of Adams 
Morgan" on the Weekends.  It's still good on the weeknights, but I 
avoid the resturants on the weekends.  U Street is my preferred choice 
with State of the Union, Utopia, and Neros.
