[SkateDC] Restaurant Recommendations in DC

[George Marinkovich]

Thanks for the response to the Alexandria Old Town request.  More suggestions are welcome.

Now, we're looking for restaurant recommendations in DC for Skate DC Weekend, especially places easily reached from the event hotel:

Homewood Suites Washington DC

1475
  Massachusetts Ave NW

Washington,
 DC 20005
Most likely people would be going to this restaurant on Saturday evening (5/2/09).  I seriously doubt anyone will be on skates and people will have had the opportunity of cleaning up to some degree, so unlike for Alexandria, we needn't limit ourselves to casual dining places.  Great food, reasonable prices, relatively easy to get to from Homewood Suites (closest metro is McPherson Square).   Any places unique to DC that may be of interest to our out-of-town guests?
