Posted on July 2, 2011 by Don

It was a perfect day to have dinner on the patio of Me Jana, me with a glass of 2008 Ksara Reserve ($8.99), he with his Diet Coke ($2.95). Lebanese restaurants are perfect in many ways: small plates, vegetarian, non-vegetarian, … Continue reading →

The Garden Kitchen, Occoquan, VA

Posted on June 29, 2011 by Don

After an absolutely brutal, three hour long trial of physical exertion, I detoured from Woodbridge into scenic Occoquan for an almost desperate bite to eat. I was starving, and needed calories, sustenance. My criteria were simple: I needed something for … Continue reading →

3 Bar and Grill, Clarendon, VA

Posted on June 27, 2011 by Don

(See the March 4, 2011 Review here.) A lot of times, parking will dictate where I end up, and so it was on this occasion, where I found myself sitting at the bar at 3 Bar and Grill. Only wanting … Continue reading →

Willow, Ballston, VA

Posted on June 24, 2011 by Don

(See the December 20, 2010 Review here.) The last time I had dinner at Willow, I swore that on the next visit, I’d break away from the $5 bar menu which had been seducing me for awhile now. Emboldened by … Continue reading →

Posted on June 20, 2011 by Don

(Hee Been may be officially in Alexandria, but anything on Route 236 west of I-395 gets rolled into Annandale in my book.) I’m not sure whether or not Hee Been is the largest Korean restaurant in the DC area (I’d … Continue reading →

Diya, Tysons Corner, VA

Posted on June 17, 2011 by Don

If someone were to ask, “What’s the biggest Indian restaurant in the DC area?” then “Bombay Club” would be a pretty good guess, but that’s only if they haven’t been to Diya. Diya sits on the Vienna side of Tysons … Continue reading →
