For Spanish cuisine, I'd suggest Mar de Plata at 1410 14th Street NW (Logan Circle area/north of Thomas Circle). An Argentinean friend first recommended it to us as his favorite restaurant in D.C. and we've now added it to our list of dining favorites. They've opened a second location at 1827 Jefferson Place (Dupont Circle, South).
One of my favorites is El Gavilan in Silver Spring
