521 8th St SEGreat American style cuisine in a lively atmosphere
Offers high quality eclectic cuisine, a DC hot spot among foodies. They don't accept reservations ahead of time, and there is a queue everyday for people waiting to get in and put there name on the list. Our suggestion - go around 6:30 pm after the line is gone, put your name on the list, and go back to the house for wine and hors d'oeuvres. You have 15 minutes to get back once they call your phone, which is doable at a brisk pace!
