Summer Restaurant Week Roll Call

Posted by The Editorial Desk / Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

After a brief hiccup (I thought it was a little weird that the Restaurant Association of Metropolitan Washington was trumpeting the winter 2010 dining calendar, but was too busy to think straight), the latest summer Restaurant Week (August 24 – 30) participants have been properly identified.

Around three dozen Virginia properties have signed on for the bi-annual discount dining crush–three-course meals can be had for $20.09 at lunch or $35.09 for dinner (tax, tip and drinks not included)–including:

* 2941 (offering both lunch and dinner; the restaurant has also extended the $20.09 lunch deal throughout the month of August)

*Argia’s (lunch and dinner)

* Bastille (dinner)

*Chef Geoff’s – Tysons (lunch and dinner)

* Chima (dinner)

* Columbia Firehouse (lunch and dinner)

* Del Merei Grille (dinner)

* El Manantial (lunch and dinner)

* Fleming’s (dinner)

* fyve (lunch and dinner)

* The Grille at Morrison House (dinner)

* Harry’s Tap Room – Clarendon, Pentagon City (lunch and dinner)

* Indigo Landing (lunch and dinner)

* JR’s Stockyards Inn (lunch and dinner)

* Jackson 20 (lunch and dinner)

* Jaleo (lunch and dinner)

* La Bergerie (lunch and dinner)

* La Sandia (lunch and dinner)

* La Tasca -Alexandria, Arlington (lunch and dinner)

* Laporta’s (lunch and dinner)

* McCormick & Schmick’s – Crystal City (lunch and dinner)

* Me Jana (lunch and dinner)

* The Melting Pot – Arlington, Reston (dinner)

* The Palm (lunch and dinner)

* PassionFish (lunch and dinner)

* 3 Bar & Grill (lunch and dinner)

* Tallula (dinner)

* Vermilion (lunch and dinner)

* Vinifera (lunch and dinner)

* Willow (lunch and dinner)

* Yaku (dinner; the restaurant is also offering a $35, 4-course meal and glass of wine deal from August 3-29)

I tend to lie low during these promotional blitzes, for obvious reasons (it’s more for tourists and first-timers), but would love to hear about some of the places you all are excited to try/return to.
