Anyone want to plan a night out? Resturant suggestions? I'd do the Melting Pot again.

Not that I've gone to any of these, but how about one of the following?

Chima Brazilian Steakhouse, Vienna, VA
Daniel O'Connell's Irish Restaurant, King St, Alexandria, VA
Extra Virgin of Shirlington, Alexandria, VA
Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, McLean, VA
J.R.'s Stockyards Inn, McLean, VA
Obi Sushi, Reston, VA

I listed sites in VA because that's going to be a lot more convenient for most of us on this site (with at least one exception being me ;) ).

And I'm aware of the irony that DC Restaurant Week is intended to draw people into the District for lunch and dinner ... and we're using it to dine in Virginia.

If anyone's been to any of these, please chime in with your opinions. Thanks!

I could do any of those. Pick a day that works and I'll try to fit it in.

Yeah, boo melting Pot.
I can usually find something to eat at any place. Just don't expect to split the bill evenly.

I'm here for a couple of weeks. I'll do a night on the towm with my bestest buds.
