Woo Lae Oak

Woo Lae Oak is Korean cuisine at it's best.  The Bul Go Ki (Korean BBQ beef) is brought out raw and is cooked at the grill located in the table.  The Chap Chae (stir fried noodles with beef and vegetables--enough for 3-4 people) is a perfect appetizer.  There is always something for everyone, including a vegetarian menu.  The green tea ice cream for dessert is smooth and delicious.

Always one of my favorites, I make an effort to go to Woo Lae Oak whenever I am in town.

There are several toppings to mull over; a combination of spinach, feta cheese and olives is among the crowd-pleasers. Created by Hamza Celik, a veteran of Cafe Divan in Georgetown, the food at Cafe 8 includes leaden cheese-stuffed phyllo rolls (cigar borek), overly smoky eggplant more..

Logan Tavern

This upscale but casual restaurant serves sophisticated comfort food (wasabe-encrusted meatloaf, excellent burgers and salads, and a splendid brunch menu) in a hip but unpretentious atmosphere.  The youthful waitstaff is as attentive as they are attractive, and local neighborhood residents have been making regulars of themselves since the restaurant's opening early in Fall 2003.  Although a handful of new places are starting to open, there are still far too few restaurants of this quality in this part of town.  For an added feel for the neighborhood, sit at the more..

El Camino Real

Mexican and Salvadoran food.  The service is excellent, and many of the dishes are delicious, if overly heavy.  A lesser-known and affordable spot for good food, though not the best in town.
