Vienna has lots of great restaurants, but this is dc.dining, not
austria.dining....

Seriously,  Vienna doesn't have alot of restaurants, but about half are pretty
good and the other half you don't have to worry about.

First and foremost.  The VI (aka the Vienna Inn).  The food is horrible
(basically chili cheese Oscar Mayer weiners), but its an institution in Vienna.
Go there to get abused like they used to do in Durgin Park before they restored
Fanueil Hall.

The other Vienna landmark is Anita's.  The original Anita's is still in
operation (I hope for sentimental sakes only), with even more charm and
atmosphere than the VI, but pretty good food.  If you want a version of
Anita's to take relatives and such to, there is one on the East end of Vienna
that was built expressly for them and is very nice.  Anita is also cheap, which
is a wonderful change from other Washington institutions.

Another Vienna institution is the Amphora, a diner on the West side of town.
Good, basic diner food with a Greek flavor.  Desserts are fabulous.  Also
reasonably priced.

Vienna has not one, but two French / Continental restaurants:  Pierre et
Madeleine and Le Canard.  I've never been to the former but the latter is
ok.  Its not L'Aubeger Chez Francois, but it doesn't have a two week wait
for reservations, either.

All of these restaurants are location on Maple Ave (more commonly known as
Chain Bridge Road, VA 123) or within a block of the same.
