Hi everyone- writing again, and am looking for some high-class restaurants in the Washington DC area. Any suggestions? Websites of the restaurants would be appreciated. Thanks!

I don't think he considers Ponderosa a high-class dining establishment, it's a more basic restauraunt, and you didn't get gunned down at that Ponderosa did you??? I'm assuming no, so good.
It's not really luxurious...or is it? ( I've never been there) but the Philips Restauraunt serving seafood is really nice, but I dont' know exactly where it is,, perhaps someone could provide more insight.
YOu could always go to McDonald's or Burger King at mcdonalds.com or burgerking.com, respectively.

That was a joke, Ponderosa is not a high class place.

They have this great quaint little Italian place called Olive Garden, I believe there is one located in the Crossroad's center in Falls Church, or you could try the one by Springfield Mall, or the one at the Bethesda Mall, or the one at Dulles Town Center, or The Galleria at Tyson's Corner....  Smile/happy/getting dizzy


Actually, just go to Washingtonpost.com and look in the weekend section, should be plenty of fru-fru restaraunts to pick from.

If you're looking for classy restaurants, Tom Sietsema's column in the Post's Sunday Magazine will steer you in the right direction. They should have archives of his column on WashingtonPost.com.

Wish I could give you a good personal recommendation, but the places I tend to frequent are more along the lines of Olive Garden, Outback and Chili's.  Smile

In '74, my Grandad took me and my cousin to D.C., and we at at a French restaurant, I think it was called "Le Nocious". Don't remember where it was, but I got the Veal Scallopini, and the chocolate eclair I got, even back in '74 was about $5.50, so I can imagine what he paid for the meal.  Big grin

Don't show that restaurant listed in this guide. http://www.washingtonian.com/dining/default.asp Maybe it was closed or bought out.

The White House supposedly has an excellent kitchen, but it's pretty hard to get a reservation...

Homer71, I think "reservations" there right now require a $100,000 donation to the "Head Chef", and his bid to stay chef a little longer.  Big grin

Just go to Georgetown, plenty of nice places there.

I ate at a Afghanistan restaraunt there, it was actually really good.

I would sugest you JP Girls and Good Guys bar and grill  Smile both on Wisconsin Avenue across from each other.

But if you seriously want to eat in classy restaurant then go all the way down on Wisconsin Avenue till you hit Potomac river. Right there, close to Watergate apartments you will find lots of classy restaurants.
