Washington, DC can be a tough city for visitors; it’s congested and can be confusing to navigate if you aren’t familiar with the layout.
If you’re anticipating a trip to DC from Alexandria, you might be wondering where to stop for food, drinks and a little respite from the craziness of the traffic.
American Executive Transportation has you covered with these 5 incredible restaurants in DC.
Komi

Greek food and luxury combine to create the Komi experience on 17th Street. You can try the prix fixe menu, the wine pairing menu or a selection of craft beers. The servers have expert knowledge of each dish and can offer options to suit your tastes.
Among our favorite dishes on the Komi menu are the gyro plate and Katsikaki, famous amongst Komi’s patrons for its explosive and expertly crafted flavors.
As Komi is very popular, it’s best to make reservations in plenty of advance.
Komi doesn’t offer valet, and street parking is rare in the area. It’s best to reserve car service ahead of time so you don’t miss your reservation while looking for parking.
