Any ideas?What upscale restaurants are in walking distance to the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel by the zoo in D.C?
There really isn't much in the way of *upscale* restaurants in this area- at least not in the sense of upscale to a person that has someone else make their reservations for them... I mean, nothing like Galileo or 1789 downtown. However, there are some good options:



Lebanese Taverna (Lebanese Food)

2641 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC

(202) 265-8681



Tono Sushi

2605 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC

(202) 332-7300



Little India

2623 Connecticut Ave NW

Washington, DC 20008



Taste of India

2621 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC

(202) 483-1115



If they want something high end, and are willing to cab it (cabs in DC are extremely easy to find and fairly cheap)



Ruth's Chris Steakhouse

1801 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington, DC

(202) 797-0033



1789

1226 36th St NW, Washington, DC

*** (out of four)



The menu in the rear dining room reads like poetry. Diners learn that a salad of local beans is dressed with "a mortar-crushed dressing of almonds," while another appetizer uses "our own bacon" and an entree of Alaskan sablefish includes "just-dug blue potatoes." Then the actual food shows up, and you find yourself staring -- and admiring -- still lifes of fresh ingredients that have passed muster with one of the city's most discerning chefs, Frank Ruta. A salad of green and yellow beans is strewn with fragrant summer truffles and garnished with a petite pork croquette that pays homage to both pig and frying pan. The house-cured bacon appears in a free-form BLT that includes slender bundles of stuffed lettuce leaves and a brassy tomato paste -- diner food raised to glory. As for those purple potatoes, they're sliced on a plate of pan-roasted fish that falls easily at the touch of a knife and embraces parsley puree and tomato confit as bright platemates. Skipping dessert means missing out on some truly luscious endings (let the season dictate your choice), and you can drink as well as you eat (both the cocktail and the wine list are winners). What sounds like a four-star evening is brought down to earth by service that can be rushed and distracted, and a setting that looks a little tired in the light of early evening. Up front, on the other hand, a packed cafe reminds us that Ruta offers one of the premiere bar menus in the city. His salads, hamburger and roast chicken claim few equals.
