The 11 Most Fun Dinner Spots in DC 2024

"Sushi by Bou is where omakase meets disco—a combination as unexpected as a parking spot near the National Mall, but way more fun. Once you make it up to the rooftop of the CitizenM Hotel at L’Enfant Plaza, the elevator doors slide open to reveal a stunning Capitol view and a blast of ’70s nostalgia, complete with orange zebra pillows, disco ball lights, and stools that look like they belong in a high-end roller rink. The signature omakase is only $65 (before drinks), and you get 12 solid pieces of nigiri. It’s a great deal, especially for a night that involves humming along to the music and sipping on yuzu pink peppercorn cocktails. Just keep in mind that, like the rest of the Sushi By Bou locations around the country, the omakase is limited to an hour, so have a plan for where you want to go next." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
