Separate Tables By Eve Zibart Washington Post Staff Writer Friday, January 31, 2003

With Valentine's Day approaching, the annual search for the most romantic seats in Washington kicks into high gear. But part of the fun of snuggling is being seen -- and envied by less fortunate souls -- without being heard, so the partly-concealed or semi-enclosed tables are even more desirable. Among the most evocative:

COPELAND'S -- 4300 King St., Alexandria; 703-671-7997. Curtained booths numbers 91-93.

DC COAST -- 14th and K streets NW; 202-216-5988. Curtained tables 14 and 15.

EQUINOX -- 818 Connecticut Ave. NW: 202-331-8118. Booths 11 and 12.

LANSDOWNE GRILLE -- 44050 Woodridge Pkwy. (in the Lansdowne Resort), Lansdowne; 703-729-4073. Booth 28 and "hidden" table 10.

MELTING POT -- 1220 19th St., NW; 202-857-0777. Booths 71-74.

ORTANIQUE -- 730 11th St., NW; 202-393-0975. Curtained tables 10-13, 71-72, 80-82.

RESTAURANT SEVEN -- 8521 Leesburg Pike, Tysons Corner; 703-847-0707. Curtained tables numbers 1 and 5.

POSTE -- 555 Eighth St. NW (in the Hotel Monaco); 202-783-6060. "Lover's booth" number 62.
