1789 is about as good as ever. Kinkeads has gone down over the years. DC has no great steakhouses, although the Morton's steakhouses in the area are fine enough.

I've been doing Bombay Club for around a decade. It's not great for Indian food and is better known for its visitors and "Anglo-Indian"-type orientation than its food. Their champagne brunch -- and the "snake", if they still have that showy drink display then -- is ok, but I don't go there for food, at least not if I want authentic, tasty Indian food.

Bistrot Lepic used to be good for French food, but is now so-so.
