It's not on the water, but a unique spot would be Marrakesh, which I believe is on NY Ave. Good Moroccan food with a really good atmosphere. You sit on couches when you eat and belly dancers perform. It's like 6 or 7 courses. The Old Ebbet Grill down near the Smithsonian is also really good. It's been open since the 1850s. If you really want to spend an evening on the water, you should go to Baltimore, where you will find a multitude of good places either in Fells Point or the Harbor/Little Italy. The Blue Agave in Fells Point (might be Federal Hill) has over 100 different Tequilas and fine Mexican dining. Little Italy, take your pick. If you just want really good basic food, don't miss the Broadway Diner. It is in kind of a sketchy part of town, but you will not be disappointed. It was featured on "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives."
I agree with the Librarian on Sequoia, but if you want to go a little more low key, Tony %26amp; Joe's is right beside it %26amp; it is awesome! Right on the water in Georgetown; check out their website:
