The first time I've used the concierge for a dining reservation, and they came through with flying colours!
I used to live in Arlington before I thought better and moved to Northern New England
I do miss some of the restaurants, though. Volt is often a tough reservation, that's good work. Next time, try for Table 21 at Volt and see if they can do it. I assume it would involve the restaurant losing the reservation for whoever actually booked it.
I'm planning a trip back sometime in the spring. I plan to ask them to try and get me seated at Minibar. I'm really doubtful it'll happen, but I'll report back on the result.
