Description:
GEORGETOWN. This renovated grill and wine bar has gained added charm with buffed hardwood floors and upholstered furniture. Its primary draw is wine tastings, which happen each Thursday from 6pm to 7:30pm. Aficionados gather to sample intriguing vintages and to dine well. Ingredients are all organic and fresh, including field-raised meats, naturally grown produce, and wild, not farmed, fish. A California sensibility accents the inherent flavors of these fresh goods. Try broiled bluepoint oyster appetizers, white fish, wine-braised octopus, or vegetable ragout. |

Description:
DUPONT CIRCLE. One of the more seductive nightspots in the Dupont district, Twelve-Twenty-Three is a modern temple to all things beautiful and opulent. The discriminating door policy and inflated prices (yes, those are Roman numerals on the menu) ensure a certain caliber of clientele. On the first level is a soapstone bar flanked by velvet couches and a small dance floor; the second-floor lounge capitalizes on great views of Connecticut Avenue. Seeking a more exclusive brand of cool, high-rollers reserve a table or bed on the chic VIP level, called Spank, where the crowd tends to be model-quality and the staff at the white onyx bar serves up premium mixed drinks.
