***I went on the Dandy a few years ago and had a great time!  They have
a full course dinner (appetizers to desserts). Wine, etc is extra.  The
service was very good.

  They have taped dance music for later in the evening.

 If you have lived in the area for a while or are new in town, the
Dandy shows you a completly different view of DC at night.  It docks in
Alexandria, and cruises past the monuments, and turns around at Key
Bridge.  

  I hope this is a very special person, as the prices run an average of
$60 per person at night, without drinks and tips!

  The one thing I did not like was that you cannot go outside on the
boat on nice evenings.  The Spirit of Washington (docking on the
Waterfront in DC)  allows you to walk around outside. This is less
expensive than the Dandy (about $30-40 per person for a buffet dinner
and a Broadway Revue show)  The Spirit does not cruise by the
monuments; it heads towards Mt Vernon.

***This newsgroup does discuss restaurants in the metro area, not just
the city.
