Search came up empty, so if this has already been answered, my apologies. Looking for a nice dinner place in DC. It will be 3 couples, and the ladies will probably not be willing to try anything "weird," meaning things like fois gras, escargot, sweetbreads, etc. Maybe a good steak or seafood place, with a few options for those a little more adventurous? I've read several recommendations on various websites, but nothing just jumps out at me. TIA

Here you go- Jose' Andres restaurants

Jaleo and Zaytinya I have been to and really enjoyed.

I also like Cuba Libre as well

I like Central, Michele Richard's place. It's pretty straightforward bistro food, well executed and tasty. Of Jose Andres' places I've tried in DC, I liked the Mexican place, didn't care for Jaleo.

Both of those are good recs and I will add Marcels, my fav in DC. Small, intimate, service and great food superb, great bar for after dinner with live music. $$ but man, wonderful. 2401 Pennsylvania Ave as I remember.

Central and Citronelle are both excellent as well. As for Weidemeiers resturants in addition to Marcels he has Brasserie Beck, more casual and less$$.. Both named for his sons.Hard to go wrong in DC if you do your research, everyone has a personal choice. Just go to a bunch of them. I have done Central for lunch then Marcels for pre show pre fixe at Kennedy then Becks for lunch and Citronelle for dinner the next night.
WOW!!

I had a good meal recently at Stanton and Green. Jaleo is good as others have said.
