Best Bets
Best for groups
The Washington Post Staff | Updated 10/19/2009
Birthdays, going-away parties, you name it: If you're planning a large gathering over dinner, look to these restaurants first.
Acadiana
Washington, DC
The restaurant serves upscale (and pricey) Cajun food in a glorious setting, but it never gets too noisy for conversation.
Bistrot Lepic
Washington, DC
Settle into the wine bar upstairs just like you'd settle into a good friend's living room.
Busboys and Poets
Washington, DC
Splitting the bill is easy at this well-priced, lefty cafe and restaurant. The pizzas are perfect for sharing.
Jaleo - Downtown
Washington, DC
If your group likes to share, order dozens of small plates to split.
