  1. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions - really appreciate it and will post after my next trip. Just remembered another place we really liked - Gerard's Place.
  2. Taberna is an old favorite - and I'm from the Dominican Republic, so language wouldnt' be an issue. Just hoping to try some place new. Edit - and I remember the tall waiter - David? - being excellent - and the somellier remembering our wine choices each vist.
  3. BTW - is there a place for newbies to post dumb posts about how the site works?!? Thanks!
  4. Thanks! My wife did know Gephettos from her Georgetown days - so we did try the real Mendocino's - but about 4 years ago - will check into!
  5. Interesting idea - thanks - when we lived in DC , we tried Mendocino twice, but weren't so impressed but, to be fair, that was four or five years ago now. I'll look into it - thanks for the suggestion! We also like La Chaumiere(sp?) nearby - but that was v. traditional French, which I don't think would work for this group. They are big clients, so I'm trying to keep them happy - ha ha. Oh - and neighborhood doesn't matter - will try to stay at the Four Seasons - used to stay at the Jefferson, but I gather they are closed - but I know that cabs are easy in DC.
  6. Thanks - sorry to be ignorant - what does PM mean? Not very tech saavy (sp??).
  7. Should I contact someone ahead of time about this? Money is not an issue, I just want to make sure my clients have some options. Wine list sounds great! Any other suggestions? We also used to like Zaytina - but I'd prefer to do something other than middle Eastern if I can.
  8. Thanks! I've heard great things about Dino - and may get to come down with my wife as well, so it might be a better option for the two of us. It's not my first dinner with these people, but I'll check out the menu online as well. Any other suggestions? Does Dino's tailor menus to vegetarians - that might help? We've had good luck with Italian food in NYC with them in the past, which is why I thought Dino's might work. Thanks again - appreciate the feedback!
  9. Thank you1 Still figuring things out here!
  10. Hi - This is my first post, so I'm not sure if I'm supposed to start a new topic or post on an existing one. I'm a businessman living in NY, but often have to entertain in DC. I used to live in DC and some of my favorite places were Palena, Taberna, Yanyu, and Bistrot Lepic - though not all of those for business dinners. I've been reading about Dino's and wonder if you would recommend it for a business dinner for a party of six or eight? Also, some of the guests are from the Mid-East, and so don't eat pork. Would Dino's still work for us? And, of course, they don't drink - though I love good wines, so think it would be a good choice for me? Thanks for any help - sorry if I've posted in the wrong place. Am enjoying checking out this site.
