I'll be in Reston, Virginia, next week, and I'm wondering where the nearby
good places to eat might be.

The chowhound responses have only contained recommendations for Thai and
Indian restaurants. There *must* be more than that!

Anybody familiar with Reston or its neighbors? I don't want to get too
caught up in the D.C. traffic; I expect to be very busy when I'm there, and
I usually consider transit time to be wasted time.

I don't know how far afield you want to go, but American Flatbread in
Ashburn is supposed to be good. That's maybe 10-15 miles from Reston:

If you're looking for *really* good food, with the prices a relative steal,
about three miles away in Great Falls:

You might also want to check out yelp.com....kind of like chowhound but all
sorts of other stuff gets reviewed too, not just food.
