For all you NoVA locals, there are two very nice, quaint little restaurants that serve excellent French Cuisine that are perfect "date night" eateries- The Hermitage Inn just South of RTE 123 in Clifton, VA and The Cafe Renaissance just West of RTE 123 in Vienna. They both come highly recommended from Uncle LL as "it'll seal the deal" restaurants. :thumb:

These are places with excellent ambiance AND food, and it comes at a price tag less prohibitive than the more widely known D.C. French Restaurants like Dominiques.

yeah, the french get a lot of crap for a lot of things, but you can't fault their way w/ food and wine.
