Kanishka Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'll be back in DC for a conference in early October (I moved to W. Africa back in June). I'll be staying in Foggy Bottom and I'm looking for a couple of recommendations for restaurants where I can comfortably dine solo, preferably at a bar, Kindle in hand. Is this possible at Kinship? My last stint in DC was with two young ones, so I'm completely out of the loop on the wider restaurant scene. I'd love to say "price no object" but realistically I can only afford a couple splurges. Metro accessibility definitely a plus. Thanks! K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bart Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 Yes to Kinship. You can eat at the bar. Don't miss this place! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reedm Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 I'll add Fiola and Fiola Mare. Both are great places to dine solo and the food and drink are superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr3rdeye Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Perhaps it's not "foodie" enough but BLT steak is the best steakhouse downtown and has top-notch popovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it not "foodie" enough?! I love going to the bar there and getting a hanger steak - you get all the fixings without a lot of the cost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 For a non-splurge option, definitely try Drift, it's very easy to sit at their bar, the seafood is great, and it is casual and a very good deal for the food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robyn Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 If you want to treat yourself, you could try for the bar at Pineapple and Pearls. They frequently have seats for one at the bar, and the menu is $150 (but does not include drinks). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choirgirl21 Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 When I asked this for a special occasion, I was told to go Marcel's and did not regret it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the prime seats sell out as soon as they go on sale, there are often single seats available close to the current date. You do have to register with Giftrocker to check out the openings, FWIW. The bar here is a place where you can chat with people or not chat with people. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
