Jennison,

Scratch both of those establishments. ESPN Zone has overpriced mediocre food
reminiscent of HardRock Cafe or Hollywood Cafe. While it does have ample
space for watching sporting events, the crowds for the World Cup matches
will likely be unbearable. While the architecture and statues of Union
Station are certainly nice, America's food is too mediocre to merit a Metro
ride [especially with children].

I would try Austin Grill in Bethesda, Rio Grande Cafe in Bethesda,
Cheesecake Factory in Bethesda, or even Charlie Chiangs on upper Connecticut
Avenue.
