[Birthday dinner for 5 in DC -Komi?]

Michel Richard Citronelle can't be beat; it is my favorite dining experience of all time. It's also one of Gayot's Top 40 Restaurants in the US, along with CityZen.

Hi all,

Just tried to get a reservation for 5 at Komi for my brother's birthday. But no luck, because they will not seat parties larger than 4--what's with that anyway? Tiny space?

Anyway, had wanted to try that restaurant after reading about it in Food and Wine best new chef's issue, but it seems we will need to make other arrangements (can't make the birthday party any smaller). (BTW--is the restaurant really as good as it sounds? Like worth going to if we have a night there with a smaller party?)

Does anyone have any thoughts on a great restaurant in DC that would seat a party of 5? Price is not really an object.

Thanks!

Anna

[Taco Bell 2005–2011]

Hi eG friends:

I have an obsession to admit.... I am in love with Taco Bell. Some people think it is so gross, but I have to say that anything from that restaurant is as good as gold to me (for a quick, spicy meal). Sure it is unhealthy, but I think thats the case wherever you go for fast food. Any one else?
