Alexandria Restaurant Week -- featuring $35 three-course dinners -- will take place this year from August 19 through August 28.
Given our successful outings there in the past, I've made a reservation at The Grille at the Morrison House for Tuesday, August 23, 2011 at 7:00 pm for a party of 6. Who's interested?

We do like The Grille a whole lot and, although we never make hard plans for VA so far in advance, for various reasons August 23 seems to be quite likely.
Put us down as probable and let me know when you need to know "definite."

No go on Fri's for me till end of Aug. 16th annual Hong Kong film festival at the Freer gallery and always try to see each film. I'm interested in the DC resturant week more than Alexandria's.
