Good, not too fancy, not too expensive restaurant near the convention center.

[Brian_Wallace]

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a restaurant for my parents near the convention center in D.C?  I'm sorry, "Washington"?

They come from the Alabama portion of Pennsylvania so nothing TOO froufrou.  My Dad'll eat anything but my Mom's a lot more picky.  She likes seafood.

I'm paying so something in the range of $100 for both.  Maybe $125 with wine?  It's a convention center so there's a TGI Friday's nearby isn't there?

Many thanks in advance,

Brian

i would say courdoroy . . . but it's froo froo.  but damn good froo froo.  try mcdonalds.

actually, go to hooters.  it's right there.  and poke your dad in the side screaming "hey look at the tits on her."

but actually . . . there is the place a few blocks behind the c. center called american sea grill.  it gets pretty decent reviews and not that $$.

if you wanna clock in well below $100, the buffalo burgers at RFD's are awesome.  great beer selection, obviously.

dunno if this is too frou frou or spendy, but i've only had deliciousness at acadiana http://www.acadianarestaurant.com/ and it's across the street from the convention center.

paying $100 for two people is frou frou.....unless you mean for the three of you.

Matchbox is very good but it can be tough to get a table if its prime time. It's much more than a pizza place too. I usually get the steak there and it's just swell.

I envy those who can experience multiple postings.
I'm usually only able to make about one an hour.
I'll make a post and then need to rest a bit, maybe have a glass of milk.
Watch some television, eat some iced cream.
Take my mind off my worries for a little while.
