Jake & Shannon
Things To Do
Bistro Cacao
This French-style restaurant is where Jake tricked Shannon into trying so he could propose on the way! Located steps from the U.S. Capitol.
The Salt Line
If you’re looking for some good oysters and Chesapeake dishes on the river, then look no further. Located in the Navy Yard neighborhood next to the Nationals baseball stadium, we’ve spent many of times here before and after baseball games.
The Eastern
A great, low-key place to relax with a glass of wine and apps in the Eastern Market neighborhood. We enjoy coming with friends in this small restaurant setting.
Chloe
In the heart of the Navy Yard neighborhood, Chloe is a must try and also the restaurant we made some major wedding decisions over dinner. You can't go wrong splitting small plates.
Union Pub
Want to grab an Old Style and watch the Cubs game? This American sports bar and grill is our choice for any Cubs or Bears game and is steps from the U.S. Capitol. (FYI – the Cubs play the Dodgers at this time)
Old Europe
For anyone who loves good schnitzel, pretzels, and good beer, this German-themed restaurant is in north Georgetown and a few minute ride from the hotels. This is also the place we were eating when we found out COVID would shut down the city (world).
Joe's Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab
This former bank – also just steps from the White House – has some of our favorite food in the city. Everything from their oysters to their steaks, to a good happy hour, this restaurant is one of our favorites. Not to mention, you may very well see some politicians enjoying a bite to eat here.
Old Ebbitt Grill
Just steps from the White House this is one of DC’s most exquisite and famous restaurants. A full American menu you can't go wrong with.
Jaco Juice & Taco Bar
One of our favorite places to eat and one of our go-to spots when we lived in the Georgetown area, this place has fresh ingredients for delicious (and healthy) tacos and quesadillas, juices, smoothies, etc. Great for a morning bite.
Tony and Joe's Seafood Place
Perfect place to sit outside and enjoy a drink and views of the Potomac River.
