1. Sushi Snob Omakase
   4.9 (292 reviews)
   · Omakase
   · $$
   Downtown
   Omakase is as much about the chef’s artistry as the impeccable ingredients used, and chef Javkhlan “Jango” Enkhtaivan’s offerings hit that mark on every level. Expect the unexpected, mixed with traditional bites, from yellowtail with jalapeño salsa to red wine-marinated tuna, squid with lime zest, and an uni ikura bowl.

2. Mariscos 1133
   4.8 (5.3K reviews)
   · Spanish Latin Caribbean
   · $$
   Logan Circle
   This exuberant fish-and-shellfish emporium from chef-siblings Jessica and Alfredo Solis (El Sol, Mezcalero) does a deep dive into traditional Latin American seafood cuisine, from made-to-order ceviches to whole fried fish — and the mezcal and Tequila lists seemingly go on forever.

3. Sushi Taro

   · Japanese
   · $$$$
   Dupont Circle
   There’s a reason why Sushi Taro is D.C.’s ultimate omakase experience, and it’s because chefs Nobu Yamazaki and Masaya Kitayama are genuine sushi masters, and their kaiseki-style tasting unravels like a dream.

4. Bombay Club

   · Indian
   · $$
   Downtown
   The tandoori salmon and Hariyali trout (fileted tableside, no less) are as reliable as ever, the silver-platter thali still one of the city’s most satisfying meals, and the entire operation — Michelin-recognized, dress code-enforced, and unapologetically posh — has only grown more confident with age.

   Shaw
   In its mission to highlight the food of the Mid-Atlantic region, The Dabney excels fiercely. That most of its hyper-seasonal dishes are cooked in a wood-burning hearth in the open kitchen makes it all the more thrilling.

7. All Purpose

   · Pizza

   The pizza here is very notably delicious. It’s no wonder chef Mike Friedman got a James Beard Award nom.

   Because this is one of the oldest and longest-running restaurants in our nation’s capital.
