At its best when the weather allows you to eat out on the patio, surrounded by lush foliage, this just-north-of-the-Potomac restaurant is one of the best the DC area has to offer. The chef is creative yet deft — what's new there never disappoints — and the menu changes according to the availability of perfect ingredients. The service and the presentation of the food are elegant yet unpretentious, and even the piped-in music, which might seem unnecessary for an outdoor restaurant in such a lovely setting, is delightfully well-chosen. You simply can't go wrong. They're open during the winter, too, but in much more confined quarters. When I hosted a wedding breakfast, this is the restaurant that I chose; there was no real competition.

10801 MacArthur Blvd., Potomac MD. From the beltway, take the first exit on the Maryland side of the Potomac and follow the Clara Barton Parkway away from the district. Get off the Parkway onto MacArthur Blvd. and continue in the same direction you were already going for another mile. The parking is rustic; walk carefully lest you turn an ankle in the dark.
