Annie's Paramount Steakhouse
This neighborhood steakhouse attracts a predominately gay clientele, which says more about its location than anything else. After hours on weekends the place is at its best, hopping with clubbers grabbing a burger or breakfast on their way home. Waitstaff are friendly, making this one of the best places to meet and greet the gay community.

DC Coast
Although the Art Deco space is rich, the scrumptious seafood is the reason to come to this perennial DC favorite. Who can pass up a 'Tower of Crab' with spicy, citrusy Tabasco butter? It does a serious lawyer-and-lobby lunch trade; the dull roar can be intrusive or exciting depending on your mood.

Kinkeads
The seafood here arrives so fresh you can taste the sea, and it is always artfully combined with inventive spices and sauces. Acclaimed chef Robert Kinkead's imaginative specialties include pepita-crusted salmon, roasted cod with crab imperial, or - as an appetizer - tuna carpaccio. Even if you can't stay for dinner, a half-dozen oysters and a stiff whiskey here are the antidote to your midwinter blues.

Legal Seafoods
A beloved Boston export, this place serves some of the freshest seafood in town. The menu features New England favorites like creamy white clam chowder and lobster plates, but also focuses on local specialties - the Maryland jumbo lump crab cakes are delicious. There are quite a few locations scattered across the metro area, including at Reagan National Airport. It has a sedate and polished steakhouse atmosphere; service is fast and professional.

Market Lunch
Inside historic Eastern Market alongside the butchers and bakers and candlestick makers, this unassuming take-away counter serves some of DC's freshest, tastiest seafood. Crab-cake platters, soft-shell crabs and fried oyster sandwiches don't get much better than this. Saturday and Sunday morning brunch features equally delicious, butter-and-syrup-soaked pancakes (blueberry, buckwheat or blue-bucks).
-
Occidental Grill
This DC institution is practically wallpapered with mug shots of congressmen and other political celebs who have dined here throughout the years. Although the Occidental isn't the nerve center it once was, plenty of bigwigs still roll up their pinstripes to dive into hamburgers, chops and steaks.
-
Sushi-Ko
DC's first sushi bar, this minimalist place is still beloved for impeccably fresh fish. The kitchen serves the basics (tuna belly, California roll) and the exotic (raw-trout napoleons). It's as popular with tourists as it is with university students, Gucci-clad glam girls and fashion conscious diplomats.
-
Uni
The decor is a little outdated at this friendly sushi bar (think Hello Kitty and bamboo), but it gets good marks for its sushi and innovative 'small dishes.' Looking down on P St from a 2nd-floor perch, jazz plays from the speakers and diners can even take advantage of high speed wireless access should they be carrying a laptop. Monday through Friday, enjoy Sake-tini happy hour, featuring around US$1 sushi and $3.50 sake martinis.
