Best Meals of My Life

Jason Townsend: Order the goat. It's worth the upcharge -- but it's their signature dish that is worth every amazing, wonderful, savory bite.

Margaret E.: Go to Frasca. Just go. Don't ask questions. Order anything. Meal of a lifetime but good enough for every day. Read more.

Jason Townsend: If you can attend one of the wine dinners here, it's worth getting a reservation. Get to know your community dining friends and enjoy a great meal together.

Bravo: The setting is serene, the food very sophisticated & delicious, the service of outmost grandeur. Overall it's a very unique experience from a very caring team guided by one of the world's leading chef

Jason Townsend: It's worth going out here from DC for a meal. The decor is over the top, but the food is what you came for. Simply amazing. Plus, was shocked the wine list had several good value bottles on it.

Henrique Saboia: Try the Seared Sea Scallops, Maine crab & fennel risotto, truffle vinaigrette, crisp shallots

Steven Miller: Bacon or foie gras for dessert? YES!!!!!

Lulu: Request a seat in front of the open kitchen so you can watch the chefs work their magic! Try the beets, octopus, uni spaghetti, and duck breast - yum!

Jason Townsend: There is no menu, no chalkboard -- just whatever the chef is fixing for the entire dining room. It's an amazing foodie experience and well worth the (rather reasonable) price.

Jason Townsend: An amazing traditional restaurant. Make a reservation and hope to be seated sharing a table with others. Don't miss the artichoke omelet -- it's an odd pairing with florentine steak, but amazing!

Jason Townsend: Don't miss the ant eggs in butter or the ceviches. So worth it!

JustMe: Chef Enrique Olvera now one of the top ten in the world represents the avant-gard in Mexican cuisine. Do not miss his mole de olla or his fish al pastor. Really a technoemotional cuisine

Jason Townsend: I recommend dropping in and sitting at the bar. The bartender will pour you samples of all sorts of things and really guide you to the best dishes being prepared that night.

Jason Townsend: L'Ourcine is best known for the informal atmosphere, friendly service, and wonderful cooking. The blackboard menu makes the most of fresh seasonal produce and makes each visit unique.

Jason Townsend: Being surprised with your food here is all part of the game. Don't let the bingo card of a menu scare you away. It's worth taking a risk and enjoying the experience.
