OrderThe paella valenciana with rabbit, snail and green bean; ordered table-wide and finished with a torch.

TipLunch is the easier reservation; the sherry list runs deep into Manzanilla pasada that the bartenders will pour by the glass.

Zaytinya ★ 4.4

$$$ Eastern MediterraneanPenn Quarter

Zaytinya in Washington DC is Jose Andres's Penn Quarter Eastern Mediterranean room on 9th Street since 2002, a high-ceiling space drawing from Greek.

OrderThe Greek-style spiced fries with feta; the most-ordered single dish in the room.

TipPre-theatre reservations from 17:00 are the fastest seat; the upstairs bar runs the full menu without the reservation pressure.

Fiola Mare ★ 4.6

$$$$ Italian SeafoodGeorgetown

Fiola Mare in Washington DC is Fabio and Maria Trabocchi's Georgetown waterfront seafood room on K Street, a Potomac-facing dining hall with a crudo bar.

OrderThe crudo platter to start; the kitchen builds it from whatever was unloaded that morning.

TipThe patio runs from April to October; Sunday lunch on the water with a glass of vermentino is the room's editorial best moment.

Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington DC is the city's oldest saloon, founded 1856 and now serving 1.5 million guests a year across four bars at its 15th Street.

OrderThe crab cake plate; the kitchen runs through 1000 cakes a week and the binder is invisibly thin.

TipThe 15:00-18:00 oyster Happy Hour is the city's best seafood deal at $1.95 each; sit at the Old Bar.

Annabelle ★ 4.5

$$$ New AmericanDupont Circle

Annabelle in Washington DC is Frank Ruta's elegant Dupont Circle dining room on Florida Avenue, the Knightsbridge Group's most polished kitchen with a French.

OrderThe whole roasted duck for two, carved tableside; pre-order on the booking page.

TipThe chef's counter overlooks the kitchen pass and is the better booking for the food show; book at lunch for a calmer pace.
