I do know that and did notice. The gross part is meeting at a space with the intention of getting someone upstairs. You make it seem like a one stop shop so to speak. And yes I think there is a difference between saying "let's meet at a restaurant" vs. "let's meet at a hotel bar".

It doesn't sound like the OP is ready for dinner yet. Wildfire Grill in Tyson's II is cozy, nice bar area for drinks. Although.. ..with the Holidays, everywhere will ramp up. Tyson's II is quieter of the two.

I was going to say, why is everyone fixated on Tyson's? McLean itself might not be as "exciting" but it is certainly quieter, easier parking, has several places where you can sit and have a meal and a conversation, etc.

Whatever--I don't care what they do; it's that freaking tender and delicious. Owned and run by a super-nice family living the American dream. (Christian Persians who fled the mullahs in '79.)

I recently moved back into the McLean area, and I pass this place every weekend while I'm out getting groceries. I had been meaning to try it, this will likely seal the deal for me.
