Raku is GREAT for Thai but be warned about slow and impersonal service.
DC Coast may be not so great with the kids but super nice place still.
Jaleo, again so good but racks up in price with the multiple dishes. PS, try the shark there if you go.
Rosa - not my fave place, $5 for chips and salsa? I think no.

Also near by is Old Ebbits Grill. Great american/seafood place. Try the fried brie aps. They also own Clydes, yes its a chain but you can always find good stuff to eat and great service.
