chewy3326 Says: Great Falls Park, just north of Reston on VA 193, is one of the best parks in the Washington DC metro area. You can spend quite a time hiking around the visitor center and Mather Gorge. Three overlooks allow for great views of the falls, and a visitor center explains local...

Jackson’s Mighty Fine Food & Lucky Lounge: Popular~
Yaqui Says: A very trendy and upbeat 1940's style dinner house with two bars. Jackson's has a wonderful nostalgic decor. There is an outdoor bar, which was very crowded. The inside was just as crowded and once again the noise level in here was terrible. So I was glad we decided not to...
Yaqui Says: We stopped here to enjoy a dessert since the experience at the Big Bowl was terrible. This place cheered me right up. Great ice cream, but the only complaint is it is too expensive. Not something I would splurged on often. Still it was yummy!
Yaqui Says: We met some of my sisters friends here for a farwell meal. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. "But" the noise level in this restaurant was terrible, plus it was in the middle of summer and it was so hot and not one fan to be had within the main restaurant....
Now, Lakeside Inn Restaurant & Pub: Was: Blue Channel Inn
lmkluque Says: This cozy restaurant seemed to cater to the Washington DC crowd, off duty. It was very busy but the wait wasn't long, and the food was well worth it!Update:The name has changed since I was there, but the location is the same. The most important change is the style. Now, it...
Africancrab Says: Like every Starbucks nationwide, one expects the basics; coffee, tea, pastries, amenities like sugar, spices, creamer. Most Starbucks have coffee on sale, cups, coffee and tea mugs as well as sandwiches and soft drinks.What was rather odd in Reston was that I saw an inside...

Primo Italiano: Primo Italiano
cmccool Says: I believe this is the only Primo Italiano location. Support the local (non-chain) merchants!! In addition to the restaurant, they sell relatively hard to find Italian food specialty items. They have their own delivery service, usually very reliable and quick. They have...

Reston can be visited from the Dulles Toll Road (highway 267), Leesburg Pike (route 7), or Fairfax County Parkway (7100). Reston is about 15 miles west of Wasington, DC--take I-66 or 495 (the Beltway) to 267. Exit at Reston Parkway (for Reston Town Center), Wiehle Avenue, Hunter Mill Road (eastern boundary), or Fairfax County Parkway (western edge).
RIBS is the local bus service. The bike trail (Washington & Old Dominion or WOD) runs through the heart of Reston. It runs next to the Reston Town Center. A car is convenient to get around.

This comment is coming from the perspective of a Southern Californian. When we mention that casual dress is accepted, that means that almost anything anyone wears will be accepted. How a person behaves is not really noticed, unless they are really unpleasant. In many places on the Eastern side of the country this is not so. There is a definite shift in attitude that everyone should behave and dress as well as they can.
In Reston it is expected that people will dress appropriately at restaurants and various functions and poor manners stick out like a sore thumb.
(Translation: It is not a "come-as-you-are" kind of place nor is it a "be who you are" kind of place..)

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Gentlemen: Bring a coat and tie.
Ladies: Remember that little black dress.
Of course, in the ominous shadow of such a power-charged city as Washington DC, you never know who will notice you in Reston!

Lake Anne, in Reston is a man made lake, created to add beauty and relaxing activity for the residents who are mostly government employees.
The scenery along it's banks is lovely and well worth renting a boat to explore the area.
The Lake Anne Plaza is the hub. It was build and designed to create a place for locals to mingle, dine, shop and "get-away" from the stress of being in the shadow of the power house that is Washington D.C.
Those who like to rub sholders with the locals will find this the perfect place to visit. They have Market days and frequently they offer weekly events and special events. Take a look at their Calendar to see what is planned during your visit.
Also free Wifi on the Plaza and concerts for all to enjoy.
