DC in DC Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Reading the DR.com database debate made me think. I too am guilty of frequenting the same places, reluctant to try new ones unless they've been favorably reviewed or mentioned by someone I trust. I don't have unlimited money, and hate wasting it on a bad meal. So it got me thinking-- what's in my rotation? What are my tried and true, "go-to," reliable places? For much, such a place would have to be relatively affordable and not terribly "stuffy" or formal. In no particular order:1. Bar at Palena2. 2 Amys3. Kotobuki4. Colorado Kitchen5. Indique/Indique Heights6. Thai Square (before I temporarily gave up Thai food after I was in a car accident there)7. Hank's Oyster Bar8. Viridian9. Majestic Cafe (one of my go-to places for out-of-town guests: not too adventurous, not too expensive, not too "hip")10. Sushi Ko (so excited one is opening at Friendship Heights)Places that have dropped off the rotation:1. Costa Verde (too far)2. Spices (don't live within walking distance anymore)3. Cafe Atlantico (inconsistent, menu hasn't changed)Places that would be in my rotation if I had unlimited funds:1. Notti Bianche2. KomiWhat's in your "rotation?"

Super Chicken (Wheaton--sometimes for dinner, too.) Dinner rotation: Dino Passage to India Mandalay Samantha's Two Amys Heritage India Ruan Thai Urban BBQ--always carryout, on the way home from work. My lunch rotation is larger and more varied, as I eat out almost every day. The sleeper is La Bamba, a Guatemalan place near the intersection of Thayer and Georgia, in Silver Spring. I absolutely love the place, though it'll never make anyone's list of great restaurants. Cheap eats--nothing on the menu over $10--and always good. I especially like their carne guisada and the picante de pollo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jm chen Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 We used to go out a lot more, and the rotation then included Corduroy, The Diner, Thai Kitchen (convenience!), and Palena Cafe. These days, it's more like: home, home, home, Dino, home, Dino, home, home, Dino. With regular trips to Galileo Grill, when it's open, for lunch.

It's just around the corner from the office and priced about the same as most of the higher end chains in the area for lunch and it sounds like a far more satisfying experience.

These days dinner is: Sonoma 2 Amys Montmartre Acadiana bar La Lomita I Palena bar Al's for take-out Lunch Panera Bread Chipotle Mei Wah 2 Amys (gosh, I wish they were open for lunch on Mondays!)

giant shrimp Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 for the past several months we have been eating out two or three nights a week, and it is invariably: palena cafe, heritage and 2 amys, all within walking distance. in other words, we are in a rut, but it's a nice rut to be in (and the menus at two of these places are hardly static). buck's is almost on the list, followed by colorado kitchen (they have good sangria these days) and etete. we were going to sushi-ko once a week and then just stopped, why i don't know. we almost go to cafe saint-ex quite often, but never seem to get there. ditto for the less expensive sides of citronelle and galileo. my wife says that the grill makes her ankles swell after lunch. also in our neighborhood, austin grill and even cactus cantina used to be good but aren't anymore. i couldn't tell you anything about busara, but we used to eat there often. cafe deluxe seems tired if not entirely hopeless. chef geoff's set us off in a promising new direction, but that lasted for just three meals. we know some paths through the park to foxhall road and the girl's college, which is just up the hill from macarthur boulevard, but haven't checked that area out since around the time they converted the theatre next to our lady of victory into a cvs. also, my wife always complains when we walk through the woods at night because she is afraid of creeps. we are the creeps, i tell her.

The "girl's college" (Mount Vernon), was bought by GW a few years ago, and is now one of their campuses. It has been a long time since you've been to the Palisades neighborhood, which is where I live. You are missing out on Kotobuki, across from CVS, which has excellent $1 per piece sushi, and a limited menu of other tasty Japanese home-cooking-type dishes (kamameshi). Also, BlackSalt, in the former MacArthur Pharmacy space, which is an excellent seafood restaurant and fish market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Well, there's the dive/carryout/inexpensive rotation, and the good table service rotation. My budget allows a good number of trips on the former circuit, a few on the latter. For example, I'm only hitting Corduroy maybe 3 times a year, but I still consider it in the rotation, since I go regularly. The upscale(ish) favorites: Corduroy Tosca Ray's The Steaks Dino (just went for the first time a few weeks ago, but I'll be back) Zaytinya Old Ebbitt Grill (oysters, oysters, oysters) Kotobuki (well, not necessarily upscale, but I'm putting it up here because a waitstaff is involved) The downscale: Oohhs and Aahhs (Ohhh, I'm rotating here all right) Amsterdam Falafel Shop Peking Garden (Chinese place around the corner, great lo mein and chow mein at least, other stuff so-so) Thai X-ing Kanlaya Urban BBQ Willard's Pit BBQ La Prima/Via Cucina (love their soups at lunchtime) Breadline (only once every couple months, really) Old Ebbitt Express Galileo Grill Five Guys (loyal to the Old Town location) Dairy Godmother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
africanist Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Glad to see I'm not the only one whose rotation is heavily based on location. Very Regular: Temperance Hall (serious burger), Dukem, Oohs and Aahs, Domku, Taqueria Distrito Federal, Etete. Yes two Ethiopian places. I'm a kitfo addict. A little less regular: Kotobuki, Radius, Hanks, Meze, Acuario (probably belongs in the very regular but has only been open for a month), Chez Auntie Libe, Two Amys. Should really go more often: Komi, real Mexican food of any kind, Dino, Thai Xing. One of these days I really ought to venture out of the District.
