Does anyone know any restaurants in north Arlington offering free or low-priced corkage?

Horrid experiences at the Wine House. Only adequate food and the worst service I've ever had -- on all three visits. (One wonders why I went back after the first time).

I took my husband, a steak lover, to BLT Steak last weekend for a birthday dinner. To put it in a word, we were disappointed. I knew what the prices were in advance and was prepared to pay them. And, had the food been good, I would have been happy to pay them. Had we left after the appetizers, we would have thought it was a fabulous restaurant (he had the lobster salad cobb style; I had the tuna tartare. Both were amazing. And, of course, the popovers were excellent.) But then our steaks arrived. I'm not much of a steak fan, so I ordered the hanger steak since it was the smallest (and cheapest) on the menu. Hubby ordered the "BLT Cut bone-in sirloin." I ordered medium; he ordered medium rare. Mine came rare; his came medium well. We both ate about 1/3 of our steaks and decided that was enough. Needless to say, it was about $90 of wasted steak. Next time we'll go to Ray's.

I'm Kathleen. My husband and I love to eat out at great DC restaurants and in other cities during our travels. DonRockwell.com has been a great source of information for us. Thanks to everyone!
