I am in for Colvin Run as people seem to really like it.
How would Aug 6 or 7 work for people that have said yes? Those are the only two days that week that I am available

DC Restaurant Week @ Colvin Run
Where: Colvin Run Tavern, Vienna, VA
When: August 7, 2007 @ 2030 (8:30 PM)
Why: DC Restaurant Week
Reservation: Under my name - Pranu
Other Info: Courtesy of headinclouds - "I asked about the menu and was told it is 1 starter, 1 main, 1 desert from the regular menu. There may be limitations on selections of the most $$$ choices."
Attendees (7 Spots reserved as of now):
Based on the people that have showed interest - I am going to prepopulate the reservation that I have for 7 people. (Trust me I tried for more - but things are full. They are going to call me back if they can bump me up to 8 based on cancellations).
Standby List: (Sorry no elite status benefits here!)
Folks on this list - please confirm your attendance as 100% or please vacate it for someone else (sorry for being rude here - but I am sure you understand). If I get the reservation for 8 then based on the others that post on a first come first serve basis I will slot them in.
PS - We dont have to do just 1 Restaurant week thing - so if there is someone else considering another I would be more than happy to put that up in this thread too...
Update 07/31/2007: Managed to get a table for 7 (they said as long as you are not 7 football players, you should be fine). Chtiet you are in. Will keep this updated.

pranu, go ahead and give mot29 my spot. I was planning on working a bit late and then heading out to meet yous on the way home but 8:30 is just too late for me.
The menu looks great!
The 20th is out too as I will be working in Maryland that day.

Ooohhh... Arties is a favorite. They don't take reservations, though, (they might for groups) call when we're on our way. And if they have folks waiting (likely at 7 PM), they won't seat until complete party is there.
That's OK with me, I'll just sidle up to the bar....
Count me in.

Pranu:
8:30 pm at Colvin Run is sufficiently late that I should be hungry after a 1:30 lunch at PS7s. Please put me on the wait list. Thanks.
