Rehearsal Dinner locations

Hi All -I originally thought I would have my rehearsal dinner in DC because its near my church/hotel where bridal party is staying but its looking to be a little costly.  Any affordable (around $1500/30 people) suggestions for a restaurant location in Alexandria/Arlington area?Thanks!

We had 30 at Eventide in Clarendon. $50 flat fee per head with no room charge. You choose from a menu of 3 apps, 3 entrees, and 3 desserts that you pre-select. Alcohol is extra. You get the entire back portion of the restaurant and its private w/ curtains. http://eventiderestaurant.com/privateevents.html

We are doing ours at the Chart House in Old Town Alexandria. I think package prices start at 45 or 47 per person (depending what specific dishes you can pick, it could be more), not including alcohol.

We're having ours at La Tasca in Clarendon. Family style for $36 pp (not including alcohol). We are going to have pitchers of sangria to hopefully cut down on the cost of people ordering their own drinks.

We are using Clyde's in Chinatown.  Its about $30/person for three couses.  I've been really happy working with Tim.

Check out Tutto Bene in Arlington.  It doesn't look like much from the outside, but they have a large back room area and the food was outstanding at my friend's wedding reception there.  Lots of places to walk to afterwards if you want to go out for a bit, too. Also, in Alexandria, The Fish House or The Chart House (the view is better than the food IMO).Clyde's is always good too.
