Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin was spotted having dinner Friday night at Old Ebbitt Grill, according to a rep. The frontman ordered two Bloody Marylands, which are Bloody Marys, topped with giant shrimp. He also enjoyed the empanadas, blue cheese chips, beef carnitas and the chicken dinner as his entree. Plant was in town for Sunday night's Kennedy Center Honors.

Also on Friday, musician Herbie Hancock lunched at the Hamilton, ordering a turkey sandwich. Hancock attended last week's Smithsonian Magazine American Ingenuity Awards, presenting the performing arts award to singer Esperanza Spalding.
