(Dante's wine list is superb!) L'Auberge chez Francois, it's in Great Falls (which is as you say, North of Reston). It's not the finest French foood in the area, though it's quite good most of the time, especially if you stay on the Alsacian side of things (the owner Mssr. Francois is from Alsace). Service however, is usually VERY good, and typical of what I expect, which is relaxed but effecient, friendly but not familiar (I do not want to know the life history of my waiter before dinner). Some waiters are better than others, but they're all quite good so far. Also, the prices are reasonable given the quality of the voerall experience. BTW, highly recommended is the Salmon en croutte (sp sucks today). Chris

If you want excellent Country French at low prices, in a plesant setting, try any of the La Madelaine restaurants. When you do, be sure to get their French Roast coffee.

I have mixed feelings about La Madeleine. Their onion soup is consistently good, but the salmon entree I had was terrible. I think the sauce was actually rancid. The Coquette St. Jacques was good, but the potato galette is way too garlicky. The house wine is a good value. The bread is good. The dessert I had was stale (I never tried another). They used to have beef burgundy which I heard was good but now they have some lamb dish instead.
