Dining Options

Sometimes, at conferences, it can be hard to find good restaurants without having to travel a fair distance from the event. In that regard, we have you covered!

The Embassy Suites does have a restaurant at the hotel, but just a short distance away, you have your choice of dozens of others with a wide variety of price points and genres of food.

The Peninsula Town Center is .6 miles away and has nearly 20 restaurants.  This is an outdoor "lifestyle" center and many of the restaurants have both indoor and outdoor seating.  There is also a movie theater and even a bowling alley.  (Not to mention book stores, clothing stores, etc.)  The website has details and links to each restaurant with menus and locations.

Peninsula Town Center restaurants:

• Abuelo’s Mexican Food Embassy
• bd's Mongolian Grill
• Bensi Ristorante Italiano
• Chipotle (Maybe Darcy Lussier will join us?)
• CinéBistro
• Five Guys Burgers
• Frank Beamer’s American Grill
• Hayashi Sushi & Grill
• JoJack’s Espresso Café
• Kenji Fusion
• Outback Steakhouse
• Q Barbeque
• Terra Restaurant and Bar

• Vincent’s Gourmet Italian Ice
• Yogurt Vi

There are many other restaurants in the area, as well as a Target and most other things you might need while you're away from home.

Some of you may be looking for a place to buy beverages to keep in your in-room fridge.  Virginia allows the sale of beer and wine at grocery stores (and Target may sell it as well - I'll have to check it out.)  If you're looking for something harder, you'll need to get it at an "ABC" store.  The nearest one is 1.1 miles from the hotel.
