About 1789 Restaurant
1226 36th St NW is mainly a location-led Georgetown option, not the clearest pick for a high-stakes dinner. Book only if this exact part of Washington, D.C. is the priority; otherwise compare it with 1789 for formal American dining or Peacock Café for a more flexible neighborhood meal.
1226 36th St NW is a Washington, D.C. dinner option with limited verified details beyond its evening hours and smart-casual dress code.

How It Compares
Against 1789, 1226 36th St NW is harder to recommend for a formal celebration because 1789 has a defined American $$$$ position. Choose 1789 when the night needs a clearer splurge frame, more predictable occasion energy, less guesswork around what kind of meal is being booked.
Peacock Café is the more practical Georgetown cross-shop if flexibility matters. It reads better for diners who want a neighborhood meal without committing to a high-stakes format. KYOJIN Sushi is the stronger pick when sushi is the specific brief, while Rimtang and Osteria Mozza make more sense for diners choosing by cuisine direction rather than address.
The value call is conservative: use 1226 36th St NW when location is the main constraint, not when the meal needs to justify itself on price tier, chef identity, awards, or a clearly stated format. For lower-risk planning, pick the peer whose category already matches the occasion.
