Willow Restaurant, Arlington www.willowva.com

Any day of the week works for me except Friday, 10-Aug

Limit of 8 or 10 persons. Fixed price of $30.07 ++
FWIW, Willow is doing restaurant week for 2 weeks, until 18 August. Colvin Run is one of my favorites and while I'd ordinarily jump at the chance to eat there, I'm already doing 4 lunches during restaurant week, so think I'll have to pass.

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

Anyone have a link that shows what they will be offering for dinner? Nothing about restaurant week is shown on their website.

If it is the 6th or 7th there is a possibility that I can make it.

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).
  1. Pranu
  2. Pranu + 1
  3. GoingAway
  4. Global_Hi_Flyer
  5. lawchild
  6. mot29
  7. chtiet

Standby List: (Sorry no elite status benefits here!)
  1. NONE!

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.

Okay, I'm hoping this isn't too much in the month but let's see level of interest, especially as the group for Restaurant Week is fairly small (suggest alternate dates if this doesn't work for you)

Date: Monday August 20th
Time: 7:00 pm
Venue: Artie's near Fairfax Circle
3260 Old Lee Hwy


Attendees (8)

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.

7:30 would work better, but I can probably be there by 7:15. I've blocked the date on my calendar (both the paper and electronic versions).

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.
