Given the additional interest, I'll call Vidalia tomorrow to ask whether the reservation can be expanded.

Sorry to have given gvdIAD the false alarm but I now know that we need to be in Northern Va the week before, likely on the 12th.
We hope that all the DCers have a great Restaurant Week and all of the chosen places are at the top of their games for you.

Greg, put me on the waitlist for Vidalia, if you can get the reservation expanded.

Hard to believe, but next week is Restaurant Week, so I thought I'd provide a reminder.
I tried calling Vidalia a couple of weeks ago to see whether I could add to the reservation, but they suggested I try back closer to the actual reservation date (oh, and they're definitely participating for dinner). Acadiana wanted a non-refundable deposit for a reservation of more than 5, but I'll try them again Thursday or Friday when I next come up for air at work to see how hard it would be to add to our reservation. Of course, before I go to the restaurants and beg and plead, I would like a slightly stronger idea as to our actual numbers. Accordingly, if your status has changed, please post to the thread. Thanks.

Vidalia is unable to expand our reservation, so it will be for 6 people at 6:45 pm on Monday. The confirmed attendees are:
1. gvdIAD
2. waterstrider
3. chrisw
4. uva185
5. mhnadel
6. joker545
Acadiana was able to expand the reservation by one - "but no more than one" - so mhnadel is now on the confirmed list.
If anyone is unable to make it for either reservation, please post to the thread so that I can move people off the waitlist. Oh, and remember to bring cash. As busy as the restaurants will be during Restaurant Week, they will be even less likely than usual to be willing to split the check 6 ways. Thanks.

Something has just come up for Friday, so I'm now out for Acadiana on Friday night.
I'm still planning on doing Morrison House on Sunday.

Perhaps a second group should consider a place...

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to bail on Acadiana. As usual, my co-workers on the West Coast were considerate enough to schedule a telecon from 5-7pm this Friday.
I'm still good for Morrison House on Sunday though!

I am visiting DC this weekend and will be at the Grand Hyatt Friday. May I take Condition One's place at Acadiana?

Didn't realize it was restaurant sampling week/weekend. Will put a crimp on dining on this trip.
