Food.Fun.Stuff: Restaurant Week Turn Out Low?

Looks like folks aren't showing out for D.C.'s Restaurant Week. WP* Going Out Guru, Julia Beizer, has been checking out the scene this week and has found that restaurants are totally empty...but they're not filled to capacity either like in past years. Remember when you couldn't get a reservation for restaurant week if you waited too late (*Late being the week before Restaurant Week)?!? Unusual. If you are still interested and can get a table (*which it looks like you won't have a problem with...), we've heard great things about Vidalia, Il Mulino and Zaytinya's lunch (*The Garides Me Anitho** melts in your mouth). Check out more of Julia's observations here.

**Garides Me Anitho=Sauteed shrimp, dill, shallots, mustard and lemon juice
