Living in the nation's capital, it's relatively common to run into celebrities at restaurants (or at least hear about them later online).

It became a hot topic, and U2 frontman and philanthropist Bono chatted about it. At Seven Reasons, celebrities are just like us when it comes to sampling Washington's best food.
Since last spring, Eaters has noticed an apparent spike in sightings at various restaurants and bars in Washington, D.C. And last week, D.C.'s celebrity cache grew even more with the expected arrival of Pastis, the iconic French bistro that has been attracting Manhattan A-listers since 1999.
