re: Planning go to D.C. around Easter

Both are fine spots with Metro not far. Blue Duck is right next to Westin which usually gets top rating in DC.

Hyatt is pretty much in Chinatown so if there are any games going on at Verizon Center (Caps are the better team to see) that could be fun. Also, Rasika is nearby, another great restaurant.

Le Diplomate is a great option I saw someone said earlier. If weather is nice you can sit outside (they don't take reservations). Also, Pearl Dive is right up from there and also a great option.

I would also look at Watergate, they recently opened I believe and we're offering decent deals when I looked to go in November. It is also near Kennedy Center which has many great plays.

Also, to the guy saying he was staying in the Willard, Occidental Grill has great mussels. Check out POV Lounge during the day for some drinks and view of the Mall, White House (turns into a club at night). Also, I would avoid the touristy Old Ebbitt Grill and hit their other restaurant The Hamilton instead, right up the street. Clyde's and The Tombs are also good restaurants (college scene at Tombs but fun) owned by the same group.
