We will be in D.C. with our sonon Thanksgiving. Any suggestions for a great, moderately priced (max $35-40 per person) restaurant with a prix-fixe or traditional menu? We were told that Clydes of Georgetown was one to consider..... Thank you so much!
Mmmm. Ruths Chris. Expensive though prob. But worth it.
OOOhhh — us, too!
I never thought of asking for suggestions.
We’ll be at the JW at 1300 Pennsylvania.
Clyde’s by the Verizon Center is arguably one of the finest speak-easy’s on the East Coast.
Who doesn’t love fabulous steak, spirits and woodwork?
I hear McDonalds is the bomb!! LOL
Seriously... is it a good place ????
If you are in the mood for seafood, try Phillips - it’s on the water and is a delightful place!
I’m a seafood freak .. but Mom wants a Turkey dinner (sigh)
Capital Grille would be fun also....I’d stay away from the Mickey D’s :)
If you want to go as high as about 50 a person, I’d go to 1789 in Georgetown.
But, some advice, figure out where you want to go and book it now! Many restaurants will fill up fast. Also, check to see if there is a different menu for Thanksgiving. You may find that the prices are set for that day and may be quite a bit higher
If DC gets too rich for your blood, consider one in Arlington, Rosslyn, or Alexandria, all accessible with Metro
Unfortunately, the turkey came to Washington early this year.
Call your congressman and ask what they recommend. I’m series. They all know the best places to eat, and they might as well be good for something.
Ruth’s Chris isn’t all that. My granddaughter and her husband got very sick after eating a steak dinner there.
For traditional try Mrs. K’s Toll House in suburban Silver Spring just over the D. C. Line on Colesville Road, 9201 I believe. Also Normandy Farm Inn further out in Montgomery County. Many traditional restaurants, unfortunately, are gone.
Ruth Chris has great steak, but they really need to work on their side dishes.

We liked Smith & Wolensky. Are they still in DC?
Georgia Brown’s, near 15th and K, is very good for Thanksgiving. Make sure to get the fried green tomatoes.
They are. I need to go, never have.
