Recommendations for a romantic restaurant in the Washington DC area?

I'm looking for a place to celebrate Valentine's day with my boyfriend in the DC area and am looking for a place with exceptional food and a romantic atmosphere, preferably catered toward the younger (20's range) crowd. Also, we're probably looking to celebrate on the Friday after Valentine's day, so restaurants that have extended Valentine's specials would be helpful. Thanks!Recommendations for a romantic restaurant in the Washington DC area?
If you want to be in DC, I can't help, but I can tell you that you should try to go into Old Town. That's where we went last year (on friday) and they had so many dinner specials for v-day.



We are in our mid-twenties and I know what you mean about how restaurants differ in the ages they cater to. I would recommend these ones for Romantic types--candles, some with waterfront views, cozy atmosphere:



Fish Market- (NOT just seafood but the best around town)-by the water, cute inside and views outside too.



Il Porto-Italian restaurant-they had the deal last year with wine and entrees etc. Romantic.



Chart House-- $$$ but right on the water and beautiful views and great food and candles, the whole bit.



O'connels Irish restaurant-Nice, a little more modern, but romantic as well. We ate on the rooftop there.



Hope I helped. These are all not "TOO" far from the King street metro-especially if it's nice out and you've got someone to do the walking with you.Recommendations for a romantic restaurant in the Washington DC area?
