Cerbian Crown is in Great Falls, VA.  Dress is on the better side.  Food
is excellent(, but a little rich for my tastes).  Prices are moderate to high.
They have an incredible selection of flavored vodkas.

There is also Russia House in Herndon.  Dress is still on the upper
side.  Food is pretty good.  Prices are moderate.
