Restaurant Review

After working on Saturday afternoon, I talked Wayne into going for a drive to Tyson's Corner and bribed him with a new pair of Ray-Bans! On the way we stopped to eat at the Corner Bistro in McLean, VA. we did a quick check on Chowhound.com for a Tapis restaurant in the area and this one received rave reviews. Of course, we did all this on my new Blackberry with wifi!

We were seated quickly as it was still early. Our waiter was Vafa who takes his job very seriously. I almost felt like we were back in Italy. The service was excellent & comfortable. We started with garlic shrimp, home made potato chips tossed in white truffle oil and topped w, parmesan, Spinach sautéed w/ apples, raisins and pine nuts, Sea scallops with mashed potatoes & baby shrimp. We shared a Caesar salad. For dessert we had a wonderful espresso with Grand Marnier, Frangelica & Godiva Liquor.

This was very enjoyable and when in the area, we would make return visit.
Then we were off for a passaggiata around Tysons Mall!
