I posted on another thread, but we visited the night of the snowstorm. I had a steak salad which was a nice change of pace from what we had in the fridge, but the real show stopper was the chocolate bread pudding. Mmmm, warm gooey and moist with good flavor and a white chocolate sauce (although a bourbon sauce would be killer). It was really good. And lots of libations to keep us warm trekking back to Ballston. Thanks for being open! We appreciated not being stuck with the measley scraps in the fridge.

You are very welcome! We are happy to have you in...thanks to all who braved the blizzard and chose 3 to dine in! We'll keep the good food coming and the drinks a-flowin' no matter what the weather

Oh the yelpers... you know, everyone is entitled to their opinion and in our new wave of technology, everyone is entitled to their public/internet/somewhat anonymous opinion. Trying to see the good in all of this, I want to believe that there are yelp members who just truly want to express their feelings and are educated in doing so.

Unfortunately, in my experience, this has been a uphill battle. I've witnessed firsthand some questionable behavior..."if you advertise with yelp, we can make your negative reviews go to the bottom of all of your positive revierws". and then when you don't advertise, coincidently 3 1-star Elite reviews appear the next day.

Since I work in a restaurant, a very hands-on restaurant, I can usually recall the person that posts a review. It's the Yelp reviews that are generally, well, most mean. And yes, I am a sensitive person and yes, I shouldn't let them get to me. But, well, they do. I am always open to constructive critism and use this information to help improve the restaurant. But when reviews are mean and spiteful, when they lack restaurant knowledge and tact, I just don't see the need for them. The immature gal in me just wants to shake them and say "I was the one who asked in you wanted an ice tea refill! I was trying to be polite!". This is our profession (as you all know and respect) and we do our damndest to make sure everyone enjoys themselves. If we fall short, we work to improve. Telling me our decor makes you lose your appetite? I'm sorry for your aversion to color.

PS this is the first real post i've put up...please take this a grain of salt. I'm coming off a recent yelp attack

Restaurant 3 in Clarendon is passing the plate and cooking our way to a cure for breast cancer. In support of the Cook for the Cure program that raises funds for Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer foundation, we will be featuring a four-course dinner menu for $60.

Guests who order the prix-fixe menu will recieve a KitchenAid Cook for the Cure plate. Once guests register the plate online, KitchenAid donates $5 to Susan G. Komen. Diners are urged to then pass the plate to friends or family who should then re-register the plate. Every time the plate is passed and registered, another $5 is donated.

Restaurant 3 is offering plates while supplies last and donating $25 for every guest who orders the four-course dinner!

Menu and more information can be found on our website www.restauranthree.com or by contacting Ria Freydberg at 703-524-4440.

Restaurant 3 is donating 10% of all sales to the Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC) on Tuesday, September 30th from 5 p.m. to close!

AFAC is an organization dedicated to providing supplemental groceries to Arlington residents in need. While their only mission is to feed the hungry, by relieving the food budget of their clients, they help prevent homelessness and allow their clients to make other necessary purchases without sacrificing their health, housing and nutritional needs. AFAC provides groceries to over 800 Arlington families in need!

Join us for dinner or drinks and help fight hunger in Arlington!

Hi all!

Restaurant 3 in Clarendon will be offering full menu for Restaurant Week in addition to discounted wines by the glass and bottle.

Big fan of Dogwood... the guys from Ragtime and Rhodeside are great at creating a comfortable lively neighborhood joint. The food is solid (love the honey pepper wings) and so are the drinks (Bell's Oberon on draft). Also, sweet patio in the back of the restaurant!

You may also want to try Dogwood Tavern - dunno about reservations (haven't had to make 'em yet) but good food by the guys who own Ragtime.

I agree... eaten at Dogwood a few times. Food is great and the guys who own it are very accomodating.
