Mendocino Grille & Wine Bar, Washington

A culinary gem, Mendocino Express in Washington is a hugely-popular spot for a delicious menu. The great menu options allow guests to focus on what matters: the superb quality.

If you're wanting to plan ahead, most patrons will agree that later in the week (Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays) will be the best time to visit. It should be noted that dressy is the recommended attire. Also, though the price can be a bit higher than average, the experience here is definitely what you pay for.

For those watching what they eat, the menu does feature vegetarian items and it's been tabbed as a nice option for both a romantic occasion and local cuisine. If you don't feel like eating in, you can always grab your food to go, or just place an order for delivery. Or, if you're looking for a good spot to hit up after work, it's got a popular happy hour and pretty decent selection at its bar.

A highly-regarded spot for dinner in Georgetown, you won't walk away from Mendocino Express disappointed. Visitors to the restaurant have the ability to park nearby on the street.
