11 D.C. Restaurants Perfect for a Quiet, Intimate Dinner Reservations - Eater DC

"The cozy dining room with soft lighting is intimate and warm, and the patio leaves an impression, too. Either works for an evening out that’s a bit more subdued without being lame. Guests can also expect very good Mediterranean dishes such a spiced lamb sausage, hearth roasted carrots, and whole roasted lobster." - Aparna Krishnamoorthy
