This formal, elegant restaurant in Georgetown is a Washington favorite. Its Federal-era architecture is nicely accentuated by burning fireplaces and classic linen-and-silver table settings. Chef Ris Lacoste, well known to Washington diners, offers a wide range of New American entrees. There are fine vegetarian offerings as well as updated classics such as pine nut chicken, veal loin and sea scallops. A jacket is required and valet parking is available. Reservations should be made as far in advance as possible.
