DC Restaurant Recs?
My mom and I will be in DC for a long weekend next month, and I'm looking for some good dinner places. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 
Re: DC Restaurant Recs?
I am a big fan of Restaurant Eve in Old Town Alexandria and Zatinya in DC. Other restaurants that are popular are Rasika (Indian), Jaleo (tapas), Citronelle, Cityzen, and Komi. There are lots of good places to eat in DC though.
This might help:

Rasika ($$$)
Ben's Chili Bowl ($)
La Tasca ($$, I prefer it to Jaleo)
Luigi's ($-$$)
1789 ($$$)
Matchbox ($$)
Montmartre ($$-$$$)
We are staying right by the New York Ave Metro stop, so getting around won't be a problem. I don't want anything super fancy but am willing to pay for good food.
The aformentioned: Zaytinya, Restaurant Eve, Cityzen
The new: Proof, Filomina, Oyamel (only for the adventurous) and Vapiano
If you're looking for more casual, Matchbox is a good choice, as would be Jaleo (which I prefer to La Tosca)
Brunch is a big thing in DC and I am personally obsessed with Georgia Brown's (deep south) and Jaleo has good brunch tapas
Stand up for something you believe in.
I LOVE Georgia Browns!
