A place you really can't go wrong with in D.C. is the The Old Ebbit Grill.
I took a group of 12 business associates from out of town and everyone of
them raved about the food and service. Also the atmosphere really has a lot
of character. I think its the oldest restaurant in Washington and many
famous politicians of old and late have eaten there. Another nice aspect
about it is that it has something for everyone (from exotic seafood to
prime rib to     burger plates) at all price ranges. Be sure to ask for
their bread -it is excellent. If you only have one chance and you have a
wide range of people, this is the place. Have Fun!

It is located below the Hotel Washington (or maybe the building complex
just North of it) on 15th St NW only a couple of blocks from the White
House. If you're looking for a nice view afterwards (and perhaps an after
dinner drink) Go to the top of the Hotel Washington. There is an Open air
bar up there and you can't beat the view. Plus, its within walking distance
of the Old Ebbit. Enjoy!
