I agree with Slawecki. These are two of my favorite places in DC. Melrose is very good, quiet. refined, and elegant. Marcel's is a sometimes a bit noisy because of the tile floor, but the food is excellent and the esprit de corps of the waitstaff cannot be beat. If you really want a night out on the town, schedule Marcel's limo to take you over to the Kennedy Center after the meal, and then to pick you up and bring you back for coffee, dessert, and/or a nightcap.
Metro to Foggy Bottom (three stops on the blue line from the Pentagon City
station) for both of these.
