Need DC rec- something similar to Local in Dallas, Texas?

[acmore]

We had an amazing meal at Local in Dallas, TX, over the weekend. I was trying to come up with a comparable DC spot, and couldn't think of a one- besides just making suggestionons based on cuisine type (modern american with a comfort food twist)- has anyone eaten there and know of something similar in DC?

Try Willow in Ballston.

Haven't eaten there, but from your description will also throw in Liberty Tavern in NOVA.

Haven't eaten there, but based on the menu, there are prolly a dozen of those kinda places in DC. I'd throw out Vidalia or Founding Farmers to start

Local is a serious restaurant. CityZen although the ambience is entirely different. http://www.mandarinoriental.com/washington/images/cityzen.pdf

I haven't eaten at Local but your brief description sounds a little like The Majestic in Old Town Alexandria.
