Four D.C. restaurants and one place somewhat errantly identified as being in the District made a list of the "101 Best Restaurants in America" as compiled by the food website The Daily Meal.

Citronelle Looks at Move to Tysons Ritz Carlton
Citronelle has plans to move to the Tysons Corner Ritz Carlton from its current Georgetown location. In a mad rush to break the news first, Don Rockwell from DC Dining and Tim Carman from Washington City Paper reported the news within minutes of each other.
Citronelle to Reduce Hours
Rumors have long been circulating with the speculation that Michel Richard's Citronelle might close soon. Many of them stemmed from the planned renovation of the Latham Hotel, where the restaurant is located - renovations that are no longer happening. Citronelle has long been considered one of the most interesting and best restaurants in D.C. Now, according to a source at the restaurant, 10 employees have recently been let go, and the restaurant will soon be open only Tuesday-Saturday, instead of seven days a week. It's unclear when this change, an apparent effort to deal with the changing economic times, will take place, as it's yet to be formally announced. We certainly hope it will be sufficient to help them stay open. Photo by christaki.
