Kingstowne

Regal Kingstowne

Go for

A film supplies a clear centerpiece for an evening close to the shopping center’s restaurants. Regal’s official listing identifies the Kingstowne theater and its ticket-booking page.

Before you go

Select the performance before arranging dinner. Live showtimes were not readable in this audit, so no film, format or recurring schedule is assumed.

Kingstowne

Bonefish Grill

Bonefish Grill 5920 Kingstowne Town Center Alexandria VA

Go for

Wood-grilled seafood and cocktails make this a restaurant-led evening in Kingstowne Shopping Center. It is useful for dinner before a movie or a longer meal.

Before you go

Use the Kingstowne location page for reservations and current menu choices. The restaurant’s Alexandria mailing address does not place it inside the independent City of Alexandria.

Kingstowne

Osteria Marzano, nearby

Osteria Marzano 6361 Walker Lane Suite 140 Franconia VA

Go for

Plan an Italian dinner in the Metro Park office area of Franconia. This gives the evening a specific destination beyond the Towne Center restaurant cluster.

Before you go

The restaurant is in Metro Park VI, Suite 140. It opens later in the day, so use its reservation page when planning dinner rather than assuming lunch service.

Kingstowne

La Fiamma, nearby

La Fiamma 6124 Franconia Road Alexandria VA

Go for

Italian cooking, a wine list and a bar make this Franconia Road restaurant another option for a seated evening. The business also welcomes group dining.

Before you go

Use the restaurant’s reservation link for a celebration or larger party. It is a separate Franconia destination, with an Alexandria postal address.

Kingstowne

Firebirds, nearby

Firebirds 7027-A Manchester Boulevard Franconia VA

Go for

Wood-fired steaks, seafood and cocktails anchor this Manchester Boulevard restaurant. The bar and patio offer a different setting from the main dining room.

Before you go

The operator recommends reservations and lists smart-casual dress. Choose its Franconia–Springfield location; the website’s Springfield path does not mean it is in Kingstowne Towne Center.
