Washington dining?

Vegetarian Washington, DC, fine dining? I'd like to get some friends a gc for a great restaurant for their anniversary. They're foodies and vegetarians. Can anyone recommend a place?
They live just east of Meridian Hill Park; I don't know what that neighborhood is called. Thanks for your suggestions, DC Foodies!

Zatanya, one of Jose Andres recipes is great and has many vegetarian dishes. It's very nice.
Less fancy, but excellent, is Udupi Palace in Langley Park, which is all-vegetarian southern Indian food. It's some of the best in the area.

Seconding Zaytinya. It's wonderful. I'm veg, and I loved it.

Maybe it's changed, but when I was at Nora ~5 years ago, it wasn't particularly good for vegetarians. They're accommodating, but we definitely needed to order off-menu.

Rasika for Indian food for American foodies. We got a vegetarian friend a gift certificate for their wedding and they loved it, and the Washington Post has had it as a 5-10 restaraunt in DC for a few years. I will third Zaytinya

Thirding Zatanya. Gave it a try on a brief stay in Washington and loved it.

Vegatate is closed, and Siestema gave Nora just 1.5 stars in his spring dining guide today.

Thai X-ing for yummy Thai food, plus interesting atmosphere... if you're interested in this place, I recommend reading the Yelp reviews so you know what you're getting into.
