The Spanish tapas at Jaleo are so numerous and varied that you'll have to order a dozen plates, so take along a group to try a bit of everything. Then select a smorgasbord of the best tapas in town, made under the guidance of the ingenious chef/restaurateur José Andrés. Mix and match from the year-round tapas and the seasonal offerings. It will be really difficult to tear yourself away from Spanish tuna and potato salad, the bizarre-sounding but delicious date and bacon fritters, or pork in orange sauce. In season, look for the best of the bounty, from pan-fried artichokes with tomato reduction, sautéed soft shell crab, and summer's La Tomatina (a selection of dishes using perfectly ripe tomatoes). (Think watermelon and tomatoes on mint skewers.) Large plates, available during dinner and on weekends, include an array of excellent paellas. Full bar. Serving lunch and dinner daily, until late-night Fri–Sat. Sat–Sun brunch 11:30 am–3 pm. Voted Best Small Plates in the 2009 Washingtonian readers' poll. One of The Washington Post's Top 50 Restaurants of 2008. No. 46 on The Washingtonian's 100 Very Best Restaurants of 2009.

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.
