cheezepowder Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm really really wimpy about the cold weather. During the winter, I will actually choose a restaurant based on whether I can park in the garage and go into the restaurant WITHOUT stepping outside. I thought about posting a Help Needed topic for a list of restaurants where I won't have to go outside. But I felt silly. But then I saw that Destruya posted this about BJ's Restaurant: Location: 8027 Leesburg Pike (same building that used to house the Tyson's Borders and Filene's Basement. Accessible via elevator to the first floor via free underground parking. ... Final verdict? This place is going to do *massive* business going into the cold months, and not only because the food is rather decent. Underground parking coupled with elevator access gives this place a 'plus,' as no one likes parking in an icy/slushy exposed parking lot and risking a sprained ankle to spend 50 bucks on dinner. That being said, one of the location's best advantages is also one of its greatest annoyances - sharing the building with Nordstrom Rack ensures the parking spaces near the elevators on "P1" will always be highly-trafficked, greatly increasing the chance of fender-benders and door scrapes. My advice is to park one floor down on P2 and avoid the retail shoppers like the plague. ... So I decided to go ahead and post. I know of the following restaurants where I can park in the garage and not step outside to enter the restaurant: Pizzeria Orso (free parking) Willow Range Meiwah at Friendship Heights Restaurants in Pentagon City Mall Restaurants in Tysons Corner Mall (free parking) BJ's Restaurant (thanks to Destruya) Any others?

ktmoomau Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I don't think you have to step outside the garage to get to Cafe Deluxe in Tysons, but I could be wrong. Taylor Gourmet at Mosaic District (does that garage or one of their other garages connect to any of the other restaurants without going outside?

DonRocks Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 I don't think you have to step outside the garage to get to Cafe Deluxe in Tysons, but I could be wrong. On a related note, there's a Cafe Deluxe going up directly across M Street from West End Bistro (in that "green" hotel they're building). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktmoomau Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 What about BDT, can you park in the hotel? Trying to think of other hotels you can park in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Hersch Posted December 14, 2013 Share Posted December 14, 2013 Tavira, Portuguese in Chevy Chase. I didn't care for the place the two times I was there, but it's been a long time, and Sietsema always recommends it. There's a door into the restaurant directly from the parking garage.
