Hey thanks everyone for the info. As it turned out, they decided to go to the Orleans House in Rosslyn. They loved it so much, they had cocktails (not beer--that's really uptown!) and ... they picked up the tab!!!!! IMHO, the prime rib (the house speciality) and salad bar were good, but everything else left something to be desired. My baked potato was hardly larger than a golf ball. Even our waitress had an attitude, a bad hair day, or all of the above. Personally I'm an Armadilla Grill fan, but alas it no longer in business. I did con one of their uniform shirts from the owner's son. If anyone knows of other places like that I'd appreciate knowing. I read somewhere earlier in another thread that they're someone else mourning the AG's demise. We talked with the owner of the AG and she told us that she was staying around a little while longer to help the new owners set up. The new owners have never run a restaruant before, they are supposedly heavy into Exxon and 7/11 franchises. The theme of the new restaruant is to be the Tuscany region of Italy. They want to feature the same kinds of "unique" meals as the AG. For example, wild boar is one of the proposed specialities. Since I just live down the street from the place, if anyone wants to know when the new restaruant opens, let me know. NiTRO
