There seems to be a general misconception about eating out and partying at the heart of Washington DC – if you want good food and drinks, you've got to pay a hefty price for it.

The truth is that if we are merely paying more for the ambiance. To have good food, on the other hand, there's always the booming middle-way eat-out spots. This is a season to be merry and eat well, hence, based on some recommendations by our Washington DC charter bus rental customers, here are some awesome choices to add to your eat-out wish list.

We've heard really good things about Ray's the Steaks along East River. Well, it isn't anything more than just a casual dining spot, not a steakhouse as the name suggests, but if there is one thing you can expect from this amazing Washington diner, it's mouth-watering delicacies at an affordable price. Trying to organize a romantic experience for your loved one? A good idea would be to get your hands on an affordable limousine and head out to Dupont Circle and dig into your favorite dish at Eola. It offers a charming, romantic and very intimate experience.

Or are you a health-conscious individual who is wishing more restaurants put more effort into picking the fresh ingredients, use traditional cooking methods and have an eye for detail when it comes to health? If so, then we think you are going to love this place called Ris along the West End of Washington DC! You've just got to order their mussels with chorizo and the conventional (yet tastes out of this world) cheeseburger. You can literally taste the freshness with every bite. What we felt was that the recipes are age-old while the ambiance extremely comfy and warm. Perfect for family gatherings, in all honesty.

Although the lines are long at Ray's Hell-Burger Too, the wait is more than worthwhile. Sink your teeth into their deliciously sinful The Big Punisher (it packs a mean spiced out punch, this burger) when it comes to taste. Nothing beats downing a glass of your favorite beer or wine from their extensive list of beverages after dinner. It's all about good food at an affordable pricing so don't expect fancy fanfare when it comes to decor.

Hope this list of wonderful restaurants widens the choices that you have whenever you want to pick a nice restaurant to eat at with your family and friends. Here's to your amazing celebration this coming new year!
