Sequoia is a door into the land of beauty: beautiful decor, beautiful people and beautiful views. The spacious interior offers high ceilings, warm lighting and cherry wood tables. Tall windows offer a spectacular view of the Potomac River, lined by trees ablaze in colored lights. Outside, bronze tables and chairs are staggered on three dining levels that lead to the waterfront bar. On summer evenings, the patio is crowded with frisky singles sipping cocktails and couples lingering over lengthy meals. Popular with young professionals, senior Georgetown residents and out-of-towners alike, Sequoia serves everything from fancy burgers to seafood linguini to pan-seared sea bass. Highlights include duck and pine nut dumplings, crab cakes and tender rack of lamb. Still, it's neither the menu nor the service that draw throngs of well-dressed, well-paid patrons. It's the view.
