Restaurants in Washington

Restaurants help you with the everyday and the special: a quick lunch, a long dinner, weekend brunch, a happy hour after work, or a takeout order for the couch. Many also offer catering, private dining rooms or spaces for events, gift cards, and cocktails. Services vary from place to place, so check the listing before you plan around one. When choosing a restaurant for a group or a special occasion, ask whether private dining is available and how far ahead they take reservations. For busy weekend brunch or dinner, call or book a few days ahead, and ask about takeout hours if you need food to go.
