I will be travelling up for the David Gray show in 2 weeks and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a restaurant to have dinner at before the show? I have researched the U Street restaurants and just wanted to see what people of the area recommended. Thanks for the help.
Restaurant Recommendations around 9:30 Club?
What are you looking for? A decent sit down place or something cheap (a la Ben's Chili Bowl)?
i often go to Saloon before shows, solid food and great beer … there are a lot of good ethiopian places in the area and a pretty wide selection of other restaurants

El Tamarindo? [/qb]I have yet to have a good meal there.
Originally posted by HoyaParanoia:nope, and I have tried several, not even a simple lager, they have Brooklyn Lager there if my mind serves me correctly, and Brooklyn Lager tastes like what I imagine a brooklyn street might taste like

Originally posted by Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer:I would mostly agree, although you can get an ok meal if you keep it simple.

speaking of area restaurants, has anyone ever checked out that ethiopian place on W st near 10th (i think that's right)? it's in the bottom floor of a townhouse, and looks exactly like a normal home, i was surprised they were able to get around zoning regulations and such for it …
Originally posted by HoyaParanoia:I believe it is expensive as well, what i am saying is they dont have any decent beers to have with dinner that are a reasonable price
well, i'm fairly certain they have delerium tremens, and that's some top-notch stuff
Actually, which of those ethiopian places around there are good?

well, there's no pleasing you. but i believe its well-known that if you want a decent beer in this city you are going to have to spend some money on it. quality = higher price ;)
For ethiopian, you have to try dukem.

Who wants to eat Ethiopian anyway? Judging by how skinny they are, not even Ethiopians. Can't comment on the meat dishes, but Ethiopian vegetetarian sucks.
