I'm looking to take my wife out for a romantic dinner while on vacation in Washington DC. Would this be a good choice? Any other ideas?Has anyone dined at the 1789 Restaurant?
Excellent choice. We go there to celebrate birthdays and the like. The service is extremely good, the several dining rooms are small and intimate, and the food is a little stodgy but well prepared. Not cheap but worth the money and a fine place for a romantic dinner.
1789 is good. I can also recommend Restaurant Eve in Old Town, Alexandria (just across 5 miles down the George Washington Parkway from 14th Street Bridge. This restaurant is owned by Cathal Armstrong, who won best new chef of 2006. They have a tasting menu, which is pricey but a wonderful way to try different foods in a more intimate setting in the restaurant. Suggest eating early or reserving in advance as this restaurant gets booked in advance for the Tasting Room. Suggest strolling to the Potomac after dinner for cocktails afterwards.

1789 is a great choice! but just in case you need a plan B, I also recomment Cafe Milano or Al Tiramisu. both are also romantic spots for delicious italian. Cafe Milano is a little hipper (various celebrities have been spotted dining there when they're in town) and Al Tiramisu is a little cozier, so make your choice based on what kind of atmosphere you're looking for...
Enjoy!
