dbwebhead Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 My wife surprised me this year with a wonderful birthday dinner at J&G Steakhouse and an overnight stay at the new W Hotel. Now is my turn to return the favor. I would like some suggestions for a elegant/romantic dinner for her birthday. Should be somewhere downtown WDC if possible. Open to try somewhere new as well, not just the usual suspects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LauraB Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Does CityZen/Mandarin Oriental count as "usual suspects"? I second Pat's suggestion. CityZen is one of the 2 or 3 best restaurants in the city and the Mandarin is a great hotel, especially if you get a water-view room. My husband and I have done this combo and it was a very special night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
synaesthesia Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Tabard Inn? Komi + The Jefferson or Tabard The Iron Gate is beyond romantic and gorgeous, but the food is really not great at all =( not in DC, but maybe Brabo + the adjacent Lorien Hotel (sub in Restaurant Eve here too) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ktmoomau Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I would love to stay at one of the rooms at the Mansion on O Street. They are a little eclectic though. I remember going through some of the place during my ex-step-sisters wedding and it was really neat. It's in Dupont. I got a kick out of the log cabin room. I have only seen one room at the Latham and wasn't crazy about it. You could do the Four Seasons and eat at Bourbon Steak? Fahrenheit at the Georgetown Ritz is pretty tasty. Or the Park Hyatt and Blue Duck Tavern- they are kind of minimalist, but in a way I think is pretty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark Slater Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Marcel's is the answer. Stay across the street at the Melrose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
goodeats Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 If not Marcel's, how about Plume at the Jefferson? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JPW Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 Stay at The Fairfax and eat at the Jockey Club. Mrs JPW and I won a one night stay and dinner at a silent auction the other week and will be giving it a shot sometime this winter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sthitch Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Why not something really different and head to Baltimore and have dinner at Charleston then get a room at either the Monaco or InterContinental. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
