Sequoia
Thirty years on the Potomac and Sequoia still knows how to work a view. Restaurant Week lunch keeps it simple: gazpacho or whipped farmer's cheese to start, a prime rib steak sandwich or rigatoni pomodoro to follow, key lime pie to finish. Dinner arrived two days into the week and trades up to tuna carpaccio, braised short rib or a lobster tail spaghetti. Grab a patio table if the sky cooperates.

Good Deal when ordered from the regular lunch menu, the same 3 courses run about $47 a person; Restaurant Week lunch is $25. At the base price the menu includes prime rib. Here’s how we calculate it.
The newly renovated Sequoia Restaurant is filled with contemporary art featuring Hitoshi Kuriyama's neon sign, glass, vacuum tube light installation in the main dining room, Isidro Blasco’s Lincoln Memorial in the lobby, and Arne Quinze's large-scale, site-specific sculpture in the garden as well several smaller art installations. Located on the banks of the Potomac River in Washington, DC, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer magnificent views of the Kennedy Center, Roosevelt Bridge, Roosevelt Island, Key Bridge, and the Virginia skyline. Dine in the main dining room, on the mezzanine, outside on the terrace, or in the private state room and enjoy some of the finest American cuisine in Washington, DC.
