I might do individual reviews later, but I probably don't remember enough for most of these.
Old Dominion - pretty good for a sports bar, good beer selection, good quality bar food. The burgers are solid, some served on long buns (not a plus), but the wraps are great and the appetizer sampler is big and good quality. One big bonus is that you can order good (not great) sushi from the place next door. Big screen TV's, good beer, and sushi all in one place!
Eastern Market / 8th Street - what was the name of that place where we got clams?
All those Penn Quarter places - solid, but mostly overrated
All of those places in Cleveland Park - Alero, Greek, fancy one, Cleveland Park Grill, Spices, other asian place.
Chinatown chinese places - dang, I can't remember which was which or the difference, but some were definitely better than others.
Vegetarian place on 9th. Solid to pretty good. Don't remember that well.
Dukem - quite good. Ethiopian. U Street
Etete - pretty good. Ethiopian. Less selection than Dukem. U Street/Ethiopian stretch of 9th st.
Kabob place in Crystal City on 23rd. Good, authentic, inexpensive, generous portions, quick.
Dairy Godmother - Del Ray neighborhood. Solid custard, I must try the other desserts (sundaes & such).
CoCo Sala - a bit pricey and small in portions, but oh so tasty. Lots of chocolate dishes and drinks, but even the non-chocolate dishes are quite good. Downtown.
Kramerbooks & Lauriol - like I or anyone in DC needs a review of those - Good!
Vegetate - 1414 9th Street, NW - I was here once. I remember the food being fine and liking the place enough to being open to going back. It's vegetarian.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the places below this point I ahve since reposted in ethnic category, style, or individual posts above. I've pushed them down until I get them reposted in their own category someplace.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Bangkok One - good, but not great Thai food downtown 14th & K.
Thaiphoon - solid Thai food. I went with a large group and tried many dishes. I'm struggling to remember the exact level of quality, but I remember the decor was pretty cool. I'm still waiting for a D.C. spot to come close to Thai Pastry in Chicago.
I don't think lunch places count.
Grill from Ipanema - quite good
Penang - quite good, Malysian?, DuPont
Vace - quite good subs, fresh mozzarella in cooler. Single slice pizza beats most, but tasted more like it was intended to be eaten fresh baked as part of a whole pizza and not jumbo slice style.
Pizza Paridisio - DuPont: good even with Anchovies, Georgetown: pizza okay, beer selection good & tasty
Uno's Pizzeria - A D.C. location of the national Chicago style pizza chain. Maybe it's the Chicago influence on me, but this is pretty good stuff. (Not all locations nationally are.) Delicious frozen/fruity drinks too. Georgetown.
Rustico - a favorite for great beer, great pizza, great food
Fogo de Chao - good, but not as good as Chicago location - all you can eat Churrascaria (Brazilian)
Pines of Florence - Old Town: a bit shabby inside, but food was good, cheap, and generous portions. Italian.
Sushi place in Adams Morgan - solid right?
Sushi places on New York & 11th. Aoi & good happy hour one. Both solid, not great. Happy hour pretty good deal.
Granville Moore's - good Belgian beer selection, good burgers, haven't tried other food. A bit pricey for what it is.
Brasserie Beck - good beer selection, quite good food. We had clams and something else. The cheese tray was pretty good too.
