Appropriately, this Penn Quarter restaurant, located right next door to the Spy Museum, feels straight out of James Bond. Champagne-filled ice buckets punctuate a series of dining rooms set against a dramatic backdrop of mirrored walls and floor-to-ceiling windows. Business types in power suits network over upscale American cuisine while tourists in shorts eat burgers (and people-watch) at the bar. Zola's specialty cocktails and signature non-alcoholic beverages make it a popular spot for lunch (or martinis) for the inside-the-Beltway crowd, as well as a solid choice for late night cocktails.
