Seeking Restaurant Recommendation: DC/Virginia

[rhubarbd]

Three best friends from high school are getting together this weekend to celebrate a major birthday ...! We are looking for a terrific restaurant for Saturday night dinner. Price is not a major concern, but delicious food and welcoming ambiance are. Have not been to the DC area for years. Contemporary American cuisine is great, so is anything Asian-influenced. Actually, no cuisine is off limits! Many thanks in advance.

That is way too broad a question. Maybe if you narrow it down to location --in Alexandria there's Eve & Majestic. Georgetown has Mendocino Grill -- you can get some suitable suggestions.

Thanks for the feedback thus far. I was deliberately keeping geography broad because we'll be in DC during the day, overnighting in Vienna, VA -- and don't mind traveling for a good meal!

CityZen. You will need to book at least a month ahead for a Saturday night.

We really enjoyed Oya in Penn Quarter - Stunning decor with very good food. Great Sushi and small and large plates that are modern american with asian influence. Check out their website www.oyadc.com.
