$$-$$$ Sure, you have to enter the restaurant from the alley, but wow, this American spot with a wood-fired oven is spot on. Fun, contemporary, where the crowd is dressier than the food.
$$-$$$ Ok, I am not a fan of the decor. Dark like a club, lots of TVs in the bar like a sports bar. But the pasta here is delicious. Pizzas here are tiny, though.

$$$ Tremendous selections of tequila, and my Latino friends think this is the best Mexican food in town right now. Portions are a bit precious, but welcome to DC.
