Capitol Grille is my favorite if someone else is buying. :wink:
If you haven't been to one before, Fogo de Chao is a fun, all-you-can-eat Churrascaria meat-fest.

Not far from the convention center is, Ruth Chris Steak House. They have everything on the menu from Certified Black Angus US Prime to lobster. They also have have some good cajun dishes developed by their founder, the late Ruth Fertel from Port Sulfur, La.

I do not know where the convention center is
But,
There are several wonderful Vietnamese restaurants in Georgetown.
Mr. T's in the city has great Chinese food.
If you are browsing around the mall area, I recommend visiting the Corcoran Museum and having lunch there.

Ed,
You don't travel FROM Texas to the Mid-Atlantic for beef. You come to eat seafood!!!
Try: McCormick & Schmick
1652 K St, NW
If you fly into BWI. The best Crab Cakes are at G & M. A small family place 10 minutes from BWI.

You didn't say it had to be unique to DC, just close to the CC. :wink:EdA said:
You are right, it is Ruth's. And she was one heck of an outdoorswoman too.
Anyway, I Googled this up, looks interesting and I'm sure there isn't one in the Dallas metroplex. The Grillades and Grits looks like it may be worth a try.
Acadiana
901 New York Avenue, NW, Washington DC; Tel. 202.408.8848
The belly-warming Southern Louisiana-style cooking at Acadiana is one of Washington's most delightful new additions. The menu reflects the bounty of the Big Easy with the finest of seafood and premium meats. The restaurant is "a contemporary interpretation of a Louisiana Fish House," Chef Jeff Tunks says. The roux, rémoulades, bisques and étouffées are to die for and Acadiana's contemporary décor is divine. Appetizer favorites include fried green tomatoes, Mid-Atlantic oysters in on the half shell, a trio of succulent deviled eggs, and pan seared Hudson Valley foie gras. Colorful entrees, like Aunt Boo's fish camp crawfish etouffee and "grillades and grits" (sautéed veal medallions with creamy jalapeño cheese grits), will tempt your tastebuds. Plus Acadiana's New Orleans style barbeque shrimp was named one of USA Today's top 25 dishes of 2005.

Another for the Capitol Grille!
I live and work in DC. Capitol Grille is great and is an institution, it is not the brew pub that's Capitol City Brewing Company. Acadiana is fantastic. One group of guys owns several restaraunts, Acadiana is southern cajun, Ceiba (my favorite) is latino fusion, DC Coast is seafood, Ten Penh is sort of asian tapas. All are pretty good.
Tell me more about what type of food you like and I can give you better info.
Citronelle is probably the best place in town, it is french and pricey. For seafood Kinkaids is pretty good and has a great raw oyster selection if you come in season. Rasika is pretty good it is indian food with a great wine list. Tosca is a great Italian place. The Occidental is often overlooked and one of my favorites, Teddy Roosevelt used to eat there.
Don't lock yourself in by thinking just around the convention center. DC isn't that big, not like Dallas (I grew up there) there are few things in town that are more than a $15 cab ride and most are less than $10 in a cab. Metro is even cheaper if you want to fool with it.
PM me if you want or just post your preferences here. I do a lot of entertaining for work so I've been to a lot of these places. Let me know when you are here and I'll show you around a bit, put one meal on me. Seriously, all y'all let me know I can at least buy you a drink.
I assume you are coming in July?
