Must Try Restaurants in DC?

I am going to be in DC from March 15-19th and I want to know if any really amazing "must try" restaurants are in my area. I am staying at the L'Efante Hotel near National Mall. Can anyone give me some good reccomendations for that area?Must Try Restaurants in DC?
Tabard Inn on N street just East of Conneticut is a great place to try!



In Georgetown Mendocino on M st between 29th and 30th is good. Near the Georgetown campus is 1789 very nice coat and tie kind of place. It is a landmark of DC dinning.
I'm a big fan of Old Ebbitt Grill. www.ebbitt.com



Good food, not too expensive. If you'd like it to be somewhat quiet, ask to sit in the atrium...it's fantastic. If you want to be around people and liveliness, ask for the main room. I'd get a reservation.Must Try Restaurants in DC?
If you're staying at L'Enfant, check out Teaism -- across the National Mall just past the National Archives and Navy Memorial -- and Zaytinya, near the Smithsonian's American Art Museum / National Portrait Gallery (located a few blocks from the Gallery Place / Chinatown station from the L'Enfant Plaza station, both on the Yellow/Green Metro line).



Also check out Nirvana (1810 K Street NW) for vegetarian Indian cuisine.



If you're up for something very different, the District has one of the largest Ethiopian communities in the states and many good Ethiopian restaurants along the U Street NW corridor.



I've also included a link to Washingtonian magazine's "Best 100" restaurant guide.
