Being Cuban, this is my place to go get some home cooking. Very large portions and very inexpensive. It's one metro stop away from the apartment on the green line (Columbia Heights metro stop). It's not a big place and definitely not pretentious. It's always busy, so go early or on off hours or call ahead and check on reservations or see how busy it is before going. It seats maybe 30 people. But if you want to try something different, or if you have tried cuban food and like it, this is the place to go.

One of our favorite French restaurants in the city. Very authentic. Not a big place. It's very charming, great atmosphere for a date night. Don't go there if you are rushed for dinner. They treat you with traditional French care, in that meals are never rushed, so expect to spend 1.5 hours for 2 people or over 2 hours if you go with friends. but hey, half the fun of dining out is spending an evening drinking French wine and creating memories with your friends. You will need to Uber to this place. But if you go there, take time to walk around the H street corridor. there are lots of bars, cafes, and restaurants and it is one of the up and coming areas of DC
