  1. This is good to know, however the website now only shows The Gastronaut's Menu and The Good Earth (vegetarian). I seem to recall from checking the website when we booked a few months back that there were two non-vegetarian options. I hope that they haven't scaled back to just one non-veg menu with no further options. We'll have to see.
  2. I'm headed to the Inn for dinner in about two weeks. It's my first time, and of course I'm looking forward to it. Any recent reports since the re-opening? I see the sample menus online, but not sure how current they may be, or how frequently they change. I'm hoping that we have the ability to mix and match dishes from the two tasting menus. Most likely planning to do the wine pairings as well. Feedback, recent reviews, or "can't miss" suggestions are welcome.
  3. Unfortunately Costco's steaks are blade-tenderized. That makes them a no-go for me. Not sure why it's even necessary on a prime cut.
  4. You're right the Halo Top is whipped and loaded with air-- as is every other ice cream and frozen dairy dessert you've ever eaten. Not familiar with overrun? FDA standards on ice cream labeling From the photo, looks like Halo Top qualifies as "Light Ice Cream."
  5. No it doesn't. And even if it did, the correct word would have to be "TEP" because you'd really be ensuring prompt service, not insuring it.
  6. I would choose Rappahannock over Pasture as well. If you're looking for other options within walking distance, Julep's wouldn't be a bad choice. There's also a branch of Graffiato about 6-8 blocks away.
  7. If I were looking for low key beers with a buddy in Falls Church, I'd head to Dogwood Tavern. They have a solid beer list and a good neighborhood bar feel. Casual, friendly, unpretentious. Food is only decent, but doesn't sound like that's your primary need.
  8. The easy way around WSJ's paywall is to access the article through Google. For example, paste "Restaurants' Secrets to Keeping VIP Diners Happy" into Google, and the first link will take you to the WSJ article without a paywall. This typically works for anything on WSJ.com
  9. Rappahanock hands down. I've had three excellent meals there in the past few months. They do oysters well of course, if that's your thing, but all of the seafood dishes I've had there have been very strong. Good lively atmosphere and bar area would be fun for pre-concert. In that same neighborhood, you may also wish to consider Pasture. And there's the possibility that Graffiato will be open by October as well (website says Summer 2014, but last time I went by it looked like they had a lot of work to do.)
  10. As you drive north on 95 from Richmond, you cross the Matta (after the Mat and the Ta have already joined,) the Po, and the Ni. It make less sense when you're driving south and cross them in reverse order.
