My mom and dad will be here in two weeks. Dad is coming for a conference and mom will accompany him. Will be staying at the Hyatt, and so will I, just for a little treat and to spend time with them. It's his birthday weekend and we want to take him out for a nice dinner. I live in the city and don't know anything about "out there." I do remember going to Jaleo there once a long time ago.... what else is on that strip? A bunch of places, right? And what's that strip, anyway (the name of the street)?
He is meat and potatoes, mom a little more adventurous. TIA! |

| Jaleo is yummy! There are also a couple of decent italian and thai restaurants on 23rd. Legal Seafood if they are stodgy types... |

| Or go into Old Town Alexandria and go to Vermillion or the Majestic. |

| If he's meat and potatoes, then he'd love the Majestic. |

| Don't go to Lebanese taverna, yuck. Plus if he is meat and potatoes he won't like it. |

| Crystal Drive is the street that has Jaleo, Teds etc. I think tere is also a McCormick and Schmick along there too if you want another seafood option! |
