Any more takers for Willow this Thursday, with drinks beginning around 6:30 pm, and dinner to follow around 7:00 pm? I'm going to call for a reservation late tomorrow afternoon, and would like to have a (relatively) firm count for the restaurant.

I look forward to seeing everyone.

Reservation made. I told them we'd be a party of between 9 and 12. They may need to split us up into 2 tables, but they'll see what they can do. The reservation is in my name (Davis). See you there.

Hoping to make it more or less on time for dinner. This storm thing passing through is wreaking havoc on traffic around here...

Let's face it, here, just the possibility of a storm wreaks havoc on the traffic!

This really is a first rate place. IMO it ranks right up there with the best in No Va and we had a wonderful evening with great company, great food, and great wine and booze.

Many thanks to gvdIAD for putting this together and bringing so many old friends (and some new) together again.

Thanks to gvdIAD for organizing.

It was nice to meet all of you and hopefully I'll get a chance to talk to those at the other end of the table next time!

Shoot, didn't see this thread before. Would have been very interested, maybe next time. The newly opened Mussel Bar at Ballston is worth considering as well. Great Belgian beer, mussels...what more could you possibly want?

An excellent suggestion from Mile-a-holic. We are in No VA for a meeting on Sept 16th so if anyone is ready, I should be able to find 800 N. Glebe Rd that Monday evening.

I should be available the evenings of the 15th of September, too. Mussels and frites would be a nice combo, so let's pencil this in for our next event.
