eatruneat Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Grabbing dinner with a former boss and current mentor the first week of July to catch up. Needs to be somewhere in DC where he can find parking relatively early. While I would love to go to Mirabelle, that is probably a bit too pricey to ask of my mentor who will likely be paying. Thinking Oval Room, Central, or Fiola. Any other suggestions/thoughts would be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Parking as in on the street? If so, I think Rasika West End is doable with some neighborhood options within a several block radius and certainly some metered spots on N between 21st and 24th.

Simul Parikh Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I think Fiola is more expensive than Mirabelle. $95 for 2 courses/dessert on Fiola's current menu with no drinks. With 2 drinks each, tax, tip, approaching $300. Mirabelle very comfortably under that amount - apps are abou $17, entrees about $42, desserts are $13, so same sort of deal (2 courses + desserts) is over $20 less a person. Go there, it's really nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I recommend Hazel. You can find decent street parking around 6ish and there are lots of paid lots nearby for later on. Had two fantastic meals there and it's not pricy or too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaRiv18 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 You are more informed than I when it comes to restaurants and parking, but Convivial or LeDip work well. Certainly a lot of parking around Sfoglina as well, maybe on the periphery. Apparently I am getting old fashioned because I am picking out well lit professional settings. I like DGS for these situations too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatruneat Posted July 30, 2017 Author Share Posted July 30, 2017 Ended up going to Ray's the Steaks near his office. Turned out to be a good idea since it ended up being a stormy night. (Former) boss was really impressed and kept saying how good the steak was. He mentioned he will do other business type dinners there. Will write something soon, but overall a great meal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
