Situated in the former presidential waiting room at Union Station, B. Smith's has opulent surroundings, which complement a cuisine called nouvelle soul, upscale Southern and Cajun/Creole. All are fairly accurate descriptions of this luxed-up southern food that goes down easy with every bite. Take the two runaway favorites, Swamp Thang and lemon pepper catfish. The former is a glorious creation of seafood in a mustard cream over greens, while the lemon pepper catfish takes standard Southern ingredients and handles them in an innovative way that keeps 'em coming back for more. All offer generous portions of well-made food. But of course, you'd expect no less from Barbara Smith, a one-woman industry of restaurants, cookbooks, modeling, television and more. Sundays bring a brunch buffet of breakfast favorites and the greatest hits of Sunday dinner. Full bar. Reservations suggested. Serving lunch Mon–Sat, dinner nightly. Sun brunch 11 am-5 pm.

Restaurants in the nation's capital have been hosting the power elite for a couple of centuries, and boardinghouse-turned-saloon Old Ebbitt Grill has served most of them since the days of President Ulysses S. Grant.
