Overlooking the Navy Memorial fountains and just steps from the Washington National Mall, this fine-dining restaurant features a varied menu as well as a caviar bar. The roomy tables, comfortable chairs, and live piano music provide a nice atmosphere. And the lounge, which features a sunken bar, is the perfect place to meet friends for a drink. The Navy Band performs at the Navy Memorial on Tuesday evenings, so try to grab a table on the exterior patio for a great view.
