Fodor's Expert Review Tail Up Goat

The menu changes regularly in this classy restaurant, but the spicy pork-belly ragù is a sure thing (when available). Best to make reservations (which open two weeks in advance at 10 am) at this 66-seat restaurant that only seats groups of four or fewer. Sit in the dining room or the patio for the four-course menu, or at the bar if you prefer à la carte. Many dietary requirements are accommodated; call ahead for complex needs or allergies. Top off an excellent evening with a selection from the well-curated cocktail menu, and purchase some merch to remind yourself of one of the best meals you'll have had in D.C.
