Komi

Komi, web site, 1509 17th Street NW, Washington, DC, 202-332-9200 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [Washingtonian | WaPo | MenuPages | food-plan | openlist | Yelp | Gayot]

A mix of fine dining and Greek-American. The best place in DC right now, by far. $90 for a two and a half hour extravaganza. And yes it is much improved over the previous incarnation, in case you had tried that and found it wanting. Along with CityZen, this is right now DC’s only truly excellent restaurant. I feel I could bring anyone here and impress them.

Ambrosia Grille

Ambrosia Grille, web site, used to be at 1765 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD, now at 802 Hungerford Drive, Rockville, MD, 301-251-5816 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [WaPo | City Paper | food-plan | openlist]

Heard it is in decline. I just can’t bring myself to try these places, the arrogance of experience I suppose.

Greek Taverna

I used to think this was probably the best Greek place around, but lately I have heard it is in decline.

Athenian Plaka

Athenian Plaka, 7833 Woodmont Avenue, Bethesda, MD, 301-986-1337 (Metro Trip Planner - opens in new window) [Bethesda Magazine | Washingtonian | WaPo | City Paper | openlist | Yelp]

Comes recommended by a reader, and by Washingtonian. My sixth sense suggests that it is better than most of its kind, but it is not on my short list for a visit.
