HERSCH@auvm.american.edu says, in response to my post recommending Taberna del
Alabadero's paella:

  This is definitely one of the best restaurants in Washington. However, I
  don't think most people would consider their prices "moderate". I would put
  this place in the expensive to very expensive range. Worth it, though.

OK, so maybe I've eaten in too many REALLY expensive DC restaurants, and my
sense of moderate has been warped.  As I recall, the Paella is the most
expensive thing on TdelA's menu, at a bit under $25/person.  Other entrees are
in the $12-20 neighborhood.  Not cheap, but not in the league of Jean Louis,
Inn at Little Washington, Hisago, most places on K St., etc.  etc. etc.  Now
THOSE places are expensive.

Since the Paella is enormous and delicious, a genuinely great meal for two can
be made from just that (no appetizers or desserts necessary) and a nice bottle
of wine, keeping the bottom line (including tax and tip) well under $100.  OK,
OK, so it's on the high side of moderate :-), but still a good deal for a
massive pile of lobster and other delectibles.
