We Go Zengo

Whenever I need a pick-me-up, Zengo is the place to go. Every time I meet D, an old college friend who happens to work on the Hill, we have nothing short of an epic evening. Atmosphere is surprisingly clubby (given this is DC), but the Asian-fusion cuisine and sushi combinations are fun, the bartenders are fresh, and the clientele is -- well -- friendly.
