December was a bad month here at Jim's Dining guides, as several of my favorite restaurants closed permanently. Here are the details.

Tonic At Quigley’s
I was in Foggy Bottom meeting some friends to tour a museum. Looking for a place to eat afterwords, we found a a restaurant nearby that I had long wanted to try, a local pub called Tonic At Quigley's. The pub, it turns out, not only has great food but also a storied history going back over 100 years.
Cranes Spanish Kaiseki
I was in DC for a graduation ceremony, and needed to eat dinner afterwards. A quick search found an interesting looking place that serves Spanish and Japanese tapas. Little did I realize that Cranes Spanish Kaiseki once had a Michelin star. I was in for an incredible meal.
El Secreto de Rosita
During Washington DC's restaurant week I like to try new restaurants. In the U Street Corridor, a Peruvian restaurant that I was not familiar with was participating. After taking a peek at their menu online, I decided to go there. Having one of the best meals I've ever had, I immediately fell in love with El Secreto de Rosita.
Lucky Buns
A friend was visiting from out of town and we were having dinner together. He suggested a burger place in Adams Morgan. I soon found out that Lucky Buns has the best burgers in DC.
The Old Ebbitt Grill
The Old Ebbitt Grill is an iconic Washington DC restaurant, situated right across the street from the White House. I've been meaning to go there for awhile now, and a visit from some relatives provided the opportunity to do so. We quickly found out that the Old Ebbitt Grill lives up to its hype.
irregardless
The cherry blossoms were blooming in Washington DC and many restaurants were having themed offerings. Looking over the options, one place stood out from the rest. A wine bar on H Street called irregardless. Did it meet my expectations? It exceeded them.
FishScale’s new menu
FishScale, a restaurant in the Shaw area of DC that specializes in fish burgers, has become one of my go to spots for a bite to eat. I've written about them before, but they recently added some great items to their menu that I want to highlight.
Convivial – DC Restaurant Week 2023
For Washington DC's winter restaurant week, I returned to an old favorite. Located one block north of the convention center by Mount Vernon Square, the French restaurant Convivial is always a pleasure.
GCDC Grilled Cheese Bar
While taking a class, I met a fellow foodie. He highly recommended a gourmet grilled cheese restaurant in downtown DC, just one block past the White House on Pennsylvania avenue. Skeptical, I tried it out. My friend was right, GCDC Grilled Cheese Bar is fantastic!
