Amigos,
My parents are visiting this weekend and we are looking for somewhere to go Saturday night. They are in their 70s, and my father gets tired easily due to an illness. That said, they are boisterous and fun-loving, but not too adventurous in terms of food. Also, while we don't want to eat in a mausoleum, I think it best to go someplace not too loud.
Somewhere like Le Diplomate, early, would have been great, but they are booked. Was also considering Red Hen around 6:30, but worried we will have to wait for an eternity (any recent thoughts on the waits there?). I was able to snag a 7:15 at Chez Billy Petworth, and an 8 at DCGB (don't worry, I will cancel one or both by lunchtime). Any other thoughts/suggestions?? Somewhere like the grill room is out, as it's probably too formal and expensive.
