Good food is very much different from a fantastic restaurant, though they aren't mutually exclusive. Good food just means that it's food that makes your mouth happy. It might not be the best on your wallet or waist line, or it might be. Most of the restaurants on the Washingtonian list are fantastic restaurants that combine good food, great ambiance, and even better service. But good food is the basic compotent of a good resturant.
Honestly one of my favorite places to eat in DC is The Greek Deli. They have leigons of fans on yelp and a very devout lunch crowd. Why? Because they are the optiome of good food. Their customer service is just a few notches better then the Soup Nazi during the lunch rush (the line is looong, grab a menu and decide on what you want before you get to the counter) and they only have 3 tables outside to eat at. But for $12 - you get enough food to eat for the rest of the day and lunch the next day in the Greek Combo. They make almost every ingredient every morning - including thier bread, that delious melt in your mouth, slighty oily bread. A friend that use to work at the Peace Corp swears by thier lamb gyros. I'm just getting hungry thinking about it. I might just need to sneak out during my lunch hour and brave the heat to go get me some of thier amazing orzo with feta. If you get there around 11am - they have everything out and you bet the rush. If you get there past 1:30 - it's slim picking on the protien end of things.
