The best meal I've had in DC in the last year was at Taberna de la Alabardero,
a Basque and Spanish restaurant.  It was better by far than the meal I had at
Galileo.

I also had a superb meal, continental cuisine in general on the menu, at the
Trocadero Restaurant, which is in the Sofitel Hotel.

Both of these are central DC and easy to get to by cab.

Each is expensive, but I don't call either /extravagant/.  (Extravagant is when
the food isn't as good as the price is high.  We have several of those in DC.)
