Where to have a nice dinner?
 

We received a $50 gift certifcate to Restaurant.com. Any suggestions on where to have a nice dinner? We will be staying in the Courtyard Marriott in Arlington for a weekend in January. Husband likes steaks and I like any kind of seafood or a good steak. The place must be listed on their web site. Thanks for any help. (We do have a car but would like to stay within 10 miles or so.)

Arlington, Virginia? Washington? Texas? There are a bunch of cities named Arlington.

I hope not the famous Arlington... as in a cemetary :-p

Maybe you could check out the restaurants on the web site, look at the menus, find some that appeal to you and then ask what everyone thinks of your choices. As it is now you are asking that fodorites log onto the restaurants.com web site look it over and make a recommendation.

Taking a quick look through the DC restaurants list. Teatro Goldoni would be my clear choice. It is upscale Italian. Very very good. Although $50 bucks might not get you half way there. Short cab ride from your hotel - or drive, I'm sure they have valet.

(Frankly, there are a lot of pubs and casual restaurants on the list.)
