Located inside the mall with outdoor seating at the open air sky walk to the Hyatt Regency. The outdoor area has a playground for kids and hosts summer concerts. Barrel & Bushell is a nice sit down restaurant if you want something much nicer than food court food but it's still a casual place to dine. Nearby are other popular restuarant and bars popular for Happy hours are Eddie V and Earls Kitchen.

Han Palace, this is the newest dimsum place in the area. The owners use to have a very popular place in Arlington called China Garden that has since closed and have now opened this. Probably one of the fancier and expensive dimsum places to go in the area. The next one that is popular in Falls Church in Seven Corners is a place call Hong Kong Pearl (I have been here before and it's decent but I have not been to Han Palace yet)

Famous for its Peking duck, springs onions, and their popularity with politicians. There is room for large parties but there's also long waits and a cramp small waiting area. Try to make a reservation if it's available. This is located in East falls church close to Eden center and close to DC as well. This one is about 20 minutes away local driving on route 7 east Leesburg Pike.

City in the suburbs. It's more like a business district. They have tried to make it more walkable with metro stations and bike and pedestrain trails but ti's so big and so much traffic that its hard to achieve. So what you will find are pockets of places to drive to and then stay to shop and eat. Place like Tysons center, Tysons galleria, The Perch, The Boro.
