Best Restaurants for People Watching in Washington DC

I’ve eaten here in the past for lunch and it was fantastic. Ate dinner last night and it was again wonderful. Management on site to make sure everything goes perfectly. The service and wait staff are impeccable. The food is delicious and well prepared with a wide range of options. Very convenient in the Georgetown area and great for people watching with the tables upfront. 

One of the best restaurants in Arlington. Blackened mahi and the Ahi salad were both great. The only small complaint was we were in a small alcove that was pretty crowded and a little noisy. I was surprised Bistro Mele has no reservations for lunch but Circa was wide open. Probably the parking issue because both are comparable with quality and prices

Delicious food and amazing service! Highly recommend the mussels appetizer, and our daughter loved the pasta in marinara and “dirt” dessert off the kids menu.

First time eating a Dauphines, and had an exceptional dining experience. No question about returning again

The St Regis afternoon tea is an exquisite experience for special occasion, maybe a business meeting, date night or even a birthday present to yourself, as it was for me. The service is top-notch. You’re first given a plate of savory foods, and then a carousel of sweet foods. You have a menu for what you can choose for a blend of tea or even champagne. The atmosphere is very quiet, refined and elegant. The seats are comfortable and one could easily linger in them for a time after. Perhaps the only one thing to notice that the restroom is quite far away, down a spiral staircase
