Family Vacation to Washington D.C. - Where to eat?

For a good start: http://www.washingtonpost.com/...g-dining-guide-2015/

There are a lot of good restaurants in DC though, covering a huge range of cuisines, and prices, so…what kind of food? and how much are you willing to spend?

Obviously don’t want to break the bank for most meals so we are looking for affordable with a good “local” and non-chain restaurant experience. We are having the girls pack some nicer clothes for a nicer dinner one or two nights while there. Kids aren’t going to go for Ethiopian, Indian, etc.
