I think the brewpub you mean is Gordon Biersch - very pleasant and good food.

WOW. Work and personal stuff (nothing bad, just time-consuming) seriously cut into my Internet time for a while there, so I came back hoping this thread had generated some responses and… well, yeah, WOW. Thanks so much, everyone! I’ll be printing this thread out and sharing it with the fella so we can make some plans together. Right now I’m just a bit overwhelmed, looks like lots of interesting new foods to try!

(And yes, I’m female, and the fella is my husband of 16 years 🙂 )

Try Mixtec in Adams Morgan (sorry, no link). Hot and spicy Mexican food. Cheap. Laid back atmosphere. Or for great Thai food, try [Thaiphoon](http://www.thaiphoon.com/flash.htm). Near Dupont Circle. Very tasty!

This used to be one of my favorites, but the city health inspectors recently closed it down for several days because of grossly unsanitary conditions in the kitchen. Keep that in mind.
