Fair Lakes is not too bad. Never had a wrong meal. One time it took a hellaciously long time for the meal to arrive and they gave it to us for free, with profuse apologies. Sometimes waitrons will delay to long in refilling the margartias. I'd wager this is due more to under-staffing at peak times than lack of attentiveness as liquor is of course their highest margin item, grin... The Potomac Yard location is "opening soon", maybe this week. I'll be planted there for a few days straight so we'll see how the startup goes... There are 2-3 other "bigbox" prefab restaraunt shells going up there as well. No clue what is going in them. They may just be doing "build it and they will come".
