Lafayette

High-end restaurant in the Hay-Adams Hotel pairing sophisticated American cuisine with formal decor.

You might be too busy rubbernecking the "familiar faces at breakfast and lunch" to notice the "superb execution of the classics" and "professional" service at this "beautiful, formal" American hotel dining room with a view across to the White House; you'll pay a pretty penny, but as "one of the last" of its kind, it's an "experience not to be missed"; P.S. no dinner Saturday or Sunday.
