"Lined with stones and collegiate sports memorabilia, Clyde’s Restaurant Group’s long-running underground bar and Georgetown student hangout is the spot for well-executed American fare (try the turkey BLT). Clyde’s also runs fancier neighborhood sibling Fitzgerald’s, serving up cocktails and Korean chicken wings in a very preppy lounge. The same row home’s fine-dining fixture 1789 offers dressed-up dishes like brioche-crusted halibut." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick, Emily Venezky
