Bourbon Steak

You’ll see famous people at lots of Georgetown restaurants, but Bourbon Steak is the place you go to see presidential hopefuls come out of closed-door power lunches. The steakhouse’s dining room is mostly business folks and hotel guests (it’s inside the Four Seasons). But we love it for dinner with parents because there’s enough happening that you can divert the conversation from the fact that they only have fur grandbabies. And the food is just good enough that they’ll be on the fence about whether or not it’s a disappointment—much like your life. But hey, at least you’ll have free fries and a juicy ribeye for dinner.
