My family is going this weekend and staying at 2 different hotels, Capitol area. Need suggestions on restuarants, mid-price, seafood and/or steak that are family friendly and take a reservation. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am aware of Smith and Wollensky, McCormick %26amp; Schmidts, etc. would like to find out about others. Thank you. Our age range is 12 to 76.

I%26#39;m not a seafood fan, but I love Kinkead%26#39;s (seafood restaurant). It%26#39;s supposed to one of the best and one of the most popular restaurants in the DC area. It%26#39;s a little pricey and maybe too formal, but being near Capitol Hill, you might bump in to some big-wigs.

Another seafood restaurant I%26#39;ve heard is good (but, I%26#39;ve never been to) is Johnny%26#39;s Half Shell. It%26#39;s supposed to have that neighborhood feel and is moderately priced.

Unfortunately, I%26#39;m really disappointed with the steaks in the DC area. The best one I%26#39;ve had was at Palena (in Cleveland Park), but that was rather expensive. It%26#39;s really too bad since I love steak...

Anyway, Washingtonian.com can help you with your restaurant choices. Good luck.
