Fodor's Expert Review The Press Room

One of the swankier spots in town, the Press Room adds a modern touch to traditional American and Italian fare. While specials change throughout the year depending on the availability of fresh ingredients, you can generally expect to find pasta, pâté, and a selection of seafood options on the menu at any given time. The restaurant is housed in an 18th-century redbrick building and features sunny interiors with lots of booth seating. It’s very popular with visitors from nearby Washington, D.C., and it’s a good idea to reserve your table well in advance, especially if you’re coming on a weekend.
