DH is finally defending his PhD disseration in less than 2 weeks!! It seems likely that the inlaws will be coming down for the occassion. I definitely want to go out for dinner somewhere to celebrate that night b/c this has been a long time coming and I think it's a great accomplishment.

Any recs for dinner, probably in DC? There will probably be anywhere from 4-7 people and for the sake of the in laws, I would probably rule out more exotic cuisines. I want something fun and tasty and price isn't really a factor as long as it's not like $100pp. Thanks!

DH and I LOVE Oceanaire - whenever my inlaws are in town we always end up going there.

hook is one of my favorites for special occasions. we first went on a whim and then for our dating anniversary in march.

if they like italian, acqua al 2 is great. you can do samplers of pastas, salads, and even their steaks or order individually (we've done a combo of both).

my ILs really liked founding farmers but DH & i were disappointed by our dinners and i think the service kinda blows considering that it's pricey. 

other ideas:

blue duck tavern

old tabard inn

central

proof

 

 

Hey Jellisy

What about Kinkeads, 1789, Georgia Browns, Olives, Ceiba.  (Can you tell it's been ears since I've gone out regularly in the city...)

FYI - Olives is closed.

Brasserie Beck, Cava (on Cap. Hill), Capital Grille, and Proof are a few other options.

Further proof that it's been years.  I loved Olives.  I guess I'll just get my fix in NYC and Boston...
