Monty’s Steakhouse, Springfield, VA
I had no idea what to expect when I walked into Monty’s Steakhouse last night, and I kept it that way on purpose. It’s in the Old Keene Mill Shopping Center which also contains the Springfield Whole Foods (there are quite … Continue reading

Dogfish Head Alehouse, Chantilly, VA
I had a couple hours to kill the other evening, so I pointed my car in the direction of Fair Lakes or Chantilly thinking in the back of my mind that I’d be updating one or both of those threads (if anyone has any … Continue reading

Retro Ray’s at Ray’s The Steaks, Courthouse, VA
(See the December 31, 2010 Review of Ray’s The Steaks, Courthouse here.) I went to Retro Ray’s for the very first time last night, and since the drawing card of this new space – which is really just a “third” dining room in … Continue reading

Thai Noy, Arlington, VA
(See the July 11, 2011 Review here.) In 2006, Rebecca Roberts hosted an hour-long radio show at WETA in Shirlington called “The Intersection.” On one of the episodes, she interviewed Tony Bourdain for the first half, and me for the second … Continue reading
Jaleo, Crystal City, VA
“Dad, I have a question for you,” Matt said as he came back from washing his hands. We had just played tennis, and pointed our car in the direction of Crystal City, thinking we’d go somewhere on 23rd Street. As … Continue reading

Reston Kabob, Reston, VA
I suspect most readers of this have never heard of Reston Kabob, much less been there (you have to really be looking for it to find it). Recently, I’ve been to Crystal City’s Kabob Palace several times (they’re open 24 … Continue reading
Abay Market, Bailey’s Crossroads, VA
I had lunch at Abay Market yesterday because I’d been craving meat. As before, there are only about five tables, and the place is a complete, total dive. It is in a long strip of shops and restaurants that I … Continue reading

Dukbaeki Maeul / Suldoga, Annandale, VA
We were thinking of going to Gooldaegee last night, but as I was driving, I shouted, “Charcoal barbecue!” as I noticed a new restaurant was open in the old Chung Dai Kam space. The sign outside says Suldoga, but the menu inside says Dukbaeki … Continue reading

Saffron Grill, Great Falls, VA
I was the last customer in Saffron Grill tonight, wanting to order a lamb kabob to go. A slightly older gentleman was behind the counter, and I asked him (at 8:45) if his kitchen was still open. He said yes, … Continue reading

Emilio’s Brick Oven Pizza, Sterling, VA
Emilio’s (either www.emiliossterling.com or www.eatatemilios.com) has been open since 1997, and is a classic suburban pizzeria, of great value to the neighborhood, but not a restaurant you’d travel for, unless you were me. I’m typing this at Emilio’s now, on their … Continue reading
