You know what’s unusual? Peking Gourmet Inn. The duck was good enough for George and Barbara, and there’s bulletproof glass in case you’re trying to impress someone who is a high profile leader with a detail. Not 5-star fancy, but not your corner Chinese takeout either.

There is only one Michelin restaurant in VA and it’s over an hour away from NoVA so really depends if OP wants to go into DC

My husband and I had our best date at Clarity at Vienna! Their chef is amazing!
Also love Agora in McLean and then if you are a dessert lover, magnolia in Vienna is legit amazing. Vienna in general has some really cute and cozy local places that’s id take over a ridic overpriced fancy restaurant any day.

If Arlington is an option, I also love ambar and cava mezze. As you can see, I love Greek food haha!

Ambar is good!

Is she willing to go into DC? Fully agree with the recommendation of Clarity if she wants to stay in VA (although it’s in Vienna, so she/you would need a car), would also recommend 2941 in this camp. If she’s into sushi, Tachibana and Yume are both great!

In DC, I would recommend Bresca, Reverie, Rooster and Owl, Albi, and Fiola Mare depending on the food you want to showcase. All of those are 1 Michelin stars but they’re great.

+1 Yume. I hear 2941 is top notch.

Pineapple & Pearls!

What exactly counts as ghosting . ?
You go on a date spend quality time , you have some intimate moments and the next thing the guy does is unmatch you on the app without sending a text.
Does this count as ghosting ?
Is expecting a text from other person saying " this is not what he is looking for " is too much to ask ?
This kind of behaviour puts other person on the self doubt mode.
