This is an excellent restaurant. My own parents would find the food too “ethnic.” Hopefully other senior citizens have opened their horizons a little.

What kind of food do your parents eat that Greek food is “too ethnic?”

How is the food? I lived in Italy as a child, so I hate eat at most American Italian restaurants.


Food has always been solid. Wine has been a little hit or miss, but they have a large collection, and if you know what you're doing, it will be fine. It might not be as good as Italian food in Italy, but it's really pretty good.

We love Trio Grill, but the parking is terrible. They do usually have a valet option though.

Chez Francois is lovely.

GAR restaurants are all to noisy, I'd pass on those.

Thoughts on something a little celebratory but that is relatively quiet, comfortable seating, accessible (and something for one vegetarian in group) in northern VA?



Cafe Renaissance in Vienna is quiet with excellent food and service.

Grad actually doesn’t love the GAR restaurants and thinking maybe a little nicer

Location is flexible - we can drive a little just rather stay in VA but closest is Falls Church/Tyson’s

Thinking about Trio Grill but have never been…2941 seemd a little too pricey and fussy for some of the palates in the group


Trio has terrible parking--its right next to Open Road and they are always packed

Overpriced and probably not wheelchair accessible

This is a good option.
