Today (Friday before Christmas) is a great day for companies to distribute year-end bonuses to employees. Did you get a nice bonus?
As a public service, I want to help you do something memorable with your windfall.
Here is a list of expensive restaurant selections in Reston. Enjoy:
* Market Street Bar & Grill. MSBG is a nice place to start. Enjoy the Crab Cake and Lobster Tail dinner for $28 or Sunday brunch for $35
* El Manantial. This restaurant is in Tall Oaks, in case you are unfamiliar. Don’t let the menu misspellings dissuade you. Enjoy the Lobster Fricasses for $33.
* The Melting Pot. Reston’s fave fondue joint and Mary-Louise Parker’s fave Reston spot. The Lobster Indulgence will only set you back $48 per person. You will have plenty of spare change to pay for drinks and extras.
* M& S Grill has a few menu items over $30 but I suggest the Filet and Lobster Tail for $38. You can also work up an appetite by walking all the way across the street to its sister restaurant, McCormick & Schmicks. How about the lobster for $35 AND a $33 filet? Now we’re talking!
* Passionfish. You definitely want to start with The Big Daddy appetizer for $69.
* Vinifera. Reston’s latest fancy eaterie in, don’t laugh, Reston Heights. They offer a couple of $30 entrees–sea bass and New York Strip–but you will likely spend many times that on their wine selections.
* Morton’s. Yes, this is the place you must go. Price is no object, right? If you still have a somewhat frugal mentality (I am with you there), then check out these two specials: first, a $110 steak & seafood deal for 2 persons ($130 for double cut filets). second, buy a $500 gift card and get a $100 gift card FREE. I suggest giving the $100 gift card to your benevolent boss (or donate to a worthy cause, like the FuninFairfax Research Project).
I am seriously hungry preparing this list for you. I think I will go have a $29 Morton’s lunch.
Let me know if you want to see a similar summary for other Fairfax county communities.
