I'll be in town on 7/19, and coincidentally near IAD, so I'll try to swing by Fairfax for the 7/19 event.

Bump :)

I won't be able to make it - for some reason I thought it was on Wednesday night (weren't we originally getting together last Wednesday - I thought we just pushed it forward a week!). I have someone from out of town visiting this week & we've got dinner plans in DC tonight.

Sorry - I was really hoping to make this one...

Mmmmm, Coastal Flats, Pomegranate margaritas and flourless chocolate waffles... We'd love to come but have no where to dump the kid tonight. So jealous...

Hey, does the food really suck at Coastal Flats, like pranu says?

GoingAway Jul 19, 2005 12:26 pm

No! The folks in my office, and myself, like the food and menu quite a bit (Pranu's comment was the first time I heard anyone not say it was good). The comment I have heard, and share, is they are a little pricey for the area and what they offer but its not exorbitant and certainly hasn't stopped them from being crowded for most lunch & dinnertimes.

I believe Pranu is willing to give them another shot this evening, and have some food. Is that correct? ;)

chtiet Jul 19, 2005 12:33 pm

OK, good! I was thinking I would go hungry.... ;-)

pranu Jul 19, 2005 1:50 pm

Yes I am willing to give them another try.

Yes. They are pricier than they should be.

I had ordered the angel hair pasta with chicken breast - which I have quite often at Sweet Water Tavern (Sister restaurant) - and I honestly didnt like it as much.

Of course my opinion was already colored unfavorably when
1. I asked them to substiture the green beans for another side and they refused
2. Instead when I asked them to bring me the dish without the green beans - then couldnt get it right and sure as hell the food came with the green beans!

And now all of you know way more about me than you would care to - I despise green beans! :D

Hmm... Pomegranate Margarita - sounds very interesting! I shall try one of those today!

MileageAddict Jul 19, 2005 5:58 pm

Have a good time tonight! Sorry I couldnt make it this month....

Thanks Debbie for arranging the HH at Coastal Flats. I had a ball. ^

Nice to meet you, as well. The next meet I know of in the area is Aug 6th - the one that is being arranged after VJs MR Seminar. I do believe you're already signed up for it ;)

I am but Darren and I may take the E-fare to HKG for the weekend. I am still trying to convince him that Dim Sum does taste better in HKG. :p
