The 12 Best DC Restaurants For Special Occasions - Washington DC - The Infatuation

"Your political junkie friend just finished grad school and you want to take them somewhere to remind them that politicians are stupid (because you take your job of keeping them humble very seriously). The Monocle, a Capitol Hill steakhouse, is so close to Capitol it’s basically inside the rotunda. Here’s your chance to poke fun at congressmen and lobbyists who talk a little too loud after that last glass of scotch while you all wait on your ribeye served with  spicy chili butter. If you want something a little more secluded, you can book a big group dinner in the wine room on the second floor." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed, mekita rivas, allison robicelli
