Hi - can anyone out there recommend a really good restaurant in the Arlington, Virginia area. Expensive is ok - but not over the top expensive if you know what I mean! Looking for something unique and tasty which would be good for a small celebration. Thanks!

Try the Village Bistro, located on Wilson Blvd. in Arlington. Entrees average between $15 and $22. If you want something unique, try Taste of Morocco, which has belly dancers on certain nights.

Belly dancers on the menu????????????
That is unique. Which nights???????

LOL! : 0

need some restaurant advice for Arlington/Courthouse area!

Go to chowhound.com. It's organized geographically, and has loads of information about restaurants and food.

George - thanks for the website - I was hoping to get some recommendations from some of the folks on this site since a website can't really tell you if the food is good or not - but I'll try it out.

These are some of my favorite in Arlington:

La Cote d'Or Cafe (expensive french)
Carlyle Grand Cafe (moderate American)
Tara Thai (inexpensive)
Rio Grande Cafe (inexpensive tex mex)
Maturba (moderate japanese)

Rossly-Courthouse-Clarendon has a couple good options:

Rosslyn
Rays the Steaks
Cafe Asia

Courthouse
Good Thai place in C'house plaza
Generic Irish pub on Wilson

Clarendon
Big Bowl
Boulevard WoodGrill
Hard Times

Out of all of these I would recommend Cafe Asia. Depends on what you are looking for re. price, cuisine type, etc.
