Prime Rib
There are lots of K St restaurants that serve up fusiony, modernist, wasabi-crusted-panko-seaweed-octopus-brioche kinda fare. Not the Prime Rib. Excuse a bit of chauvinism, but power, friends, is still best exemplified by sitting in a dark-wood dining room cutting deals over hunks of seared cow the size of a midget, then stepping outside for a cigar (damned smoking ban) and coming back in for a cognac. With a side of testosterone. The wait staff, clad in tuxedos, dress the part, and you’d better too – that means ties and jackets, men.

In the shadow of the Capitol (you can see the marble dome through the plate glass windows in the dining room), this place simply oozes power. And while the place has the requisite swirling cigar smoke and old boys club feel, it's also got a muted blue and orange color scheme and a bold, award-winning modern menu with an all-American wine list. The downside? Prices at celebrity chef/owner Charlie Palmer's restaurant are appallingly high.

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.

Occidental Grill
This DC institution is practically wall-papered with mug shots of congressmen and other political celebs who have dined here throughout the years.

Palm
Fun for people-watching as well as meat- eating, this classic American steakhouse is a media and political celebrity magnet (Larry King likes to hang out here). Everyone's lunch seems to consist of sirloin, straight-gin martinis and cigar smoke. Its waitstaff are renowned for giving their customers a hard time.
