When is the last time you have seen tuxedos an gowns at a restaurant that is not a wedding reception.

Uh, the last time I saw teens go to prom!! They won't be out of place anywhere when they're all together; everyone will know they're at prom.

Trio - they have a back room I've seen Teens after prom at in past years.

All of these are good. I'd add JGilberts. Definitely this level and absolutely not Cap Grill or Mortons or $$$$.

Haha, NP and I was literally just thinking "Olive Garden!" It was fancy to me at that stage in my life, for sure. All those wine bottles, LOL.

Lebanese taverna, wildfire, p.f. chang's...any place at the front of the galleria that has its own entrance.

Ah brings back memories of going to Olive Garden before my prom

Thank you very much! This is very helpful!

Ruth’s Chris or Capital Grille

I was thinking 2941 but they have a private event this day.

Do most teenagers eat lamb and duck? Back in the 1990s we went to Denny’s.

Yeah, agree that most teenagers will want something a little more Denny's than 2941. How many people total? I don't think you have to worry about them looking out of place -everyone will know they're there from prom and be delighted to see them!

Do you care if there is an outdoor dining option or is all indoor ok? A few ideas that are not 2941 cuisine and price:

- Liberty Tavern in Arlington
- Sfizi in Falls Church
- Founding Farmers, Tysons
- Fogo de Chao, Tysons
- Magliano's in Tysons (though I always worry about pasta and formal attire!)
- someplace in Mosaic -- Matchbox, True Food, Alta Strada
- J Gilbert's in McLean -- old school steakhouse

Cheesecake Factory

What part of town?

Please recommend a nice place in Northern Virginia where teenagers in tuxedo/long gowns won't look out of place. Thank you!
