WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A family restaurant will open on the Occoquan River today.

It’s called The Landing Restaurant at Occoquan Harbour Marina and it will seat 80 guests who will dine on everything from seafood to steaks. Taking advantage of its location on the Occoquan River, the restaurant will also have a waterfront bar.

The Landing Restaurant at Occoquan Harbour Marina offers an 80 seat formal dining room, adjacent to a nautical themed bar with flat screen televisions. Our private dining room can accommodate up to 40. Outside, our “Front Porch” is a fully covered outdoor dining experience accommodating up to 40, and our expansive outdoor deck has its own Tiki Bar, seating for 50, with the best view on the Occoquan. 

The location was once called Water’s Edge and served as a late-night hangout. The new incarnation of this building is now being run by a chef who says he focused on the quality of food.

Troy Clayton is the Chef and Owner of Geranio Restaurant, The Landing at Coles Point Marina and The Landing at Occoquan Harbour Marina. His prestigious culinary career began in 1987 and has taken him across Europe and through some of the most well known kitchens in the world. Chef Clayton has cooked with names like Anthony Worrall Thompson, Marco Pierre White, James Martin, Jean Louis Palladin and Guenter Seeger in world-class establishments including 190 Queensgate, Dell’Ugo, Resto Des Amis, The Watergate Hotel, The Mandarin Oriental and Hyatt Hotels. He has received awards from Best Chef America, Academe Culinary de France and American Express “Young Chef of the Year.”

In 1998, Chef Clayton purchased the historic Geranio Restaurant in Old Town Alexandria,  an intimate, 110-seat Italian restaurant that has been featured in The Washington Post, Washingtonian Magazine, The Wine Spectator, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Northern Virginia Magazine and more. Geranio continues to receive critical acclaim including “Best of Awards” on Open Table, Zagat, Trip Advisor, Yelp and others, rating in the top 10 of more than 600 restaurants in Alexandria.

In May 2013, Chef Clayton opened The Landing Restaurant and Waterfront Bar in collaboration with the owner of Coles Point Marina. His love of the Potomac, the Northern Neck and close association with Mr. Burke make it a perfect partnership. The Landing at Coles Point received accolades from local and regional press, the boating community at large, and local residents in the Northern Neck.

Locally produced artwork will be on display for today’s grand opening and locally elected officials will also be there.

Award-winning chef Troy Clayton will host an invite-only grand opening ribbon-cutting ceremony for his newest restaurant, The Landing Restaurant at Occoquan Harbour Marina on Thursday, August 7, 2014.

Artwork by Kazaan Viveiros will be on display throughout the restaurant and available for sale. Guests are invited to tour the new restaurant while enjoying complimentary heavy appetizers, wine and entertainment.

Local dignitaries, including Elizabeth Quist, Mayor of Occoquan, and Congressman Gerald Connolly will be in attendance, as well as representatives from the Prince William Chamber of Commerce, area business leaders, partners and clients.

A ribbon cutting will be held at 4 p.m. and the art show begins at 4:30 p.m.

FAIRFAX COUNTY, Va. — If your commute takes you to the Franconia-Springfield Parkway in Fairfax County, get ready for some changes to be made near the entrance to the HOV lanes entrance over the next few weeks. 

Here’s more in a press release from VDOT:

Beginning on or about Friday, August 8, VDOT is planning to close all left turns connecting the Franconia-Springfield Parkway (Route 289) and the I-95 North and South High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes for up to four weeks. Motorists should follow the signed detour and allow extra time while traveling in this area, as they could experience delays of up to five minutes during peak a.m. and p.m. rush hours. These closures are necessary for crews to safely access the construction area and minimize delays. Critical work that will occur includes:

• Accessing the exiting median and removing the concrete barrier
• Adding new stormwater drainage and conduit underneath the bridge
• Widening the ramps and adding new turn lanes
• Installing new gates, Express Lanes signage and a new traffic signal
• Placing new pavement and lane markings

Click here for more details and a detour map.

The 95 Express Lanes are more than 80 percent complete, and on-track to be completed by the end of the year and open in early 2015. The 95 Express Lanes will use dynamic tolls to keep traffic flowing and provide a more predictable travel option on I-95/395 between Route 610 in Stafford County to just north of I-495. The 95 Express Lanes are being delivered through a public-private partnership between VDOT and Transurban-Fluor.

It could be as simple as creating large-print programs or as complex as understanding the Americans with Disabilities Act legalese, but Marit Majeske does it all as house manager for the Hylton Performing Arts Center on the George Mason University’s Prince William Campus.

“My belief is that nothing should keep people from fully enjoying the arts,” Majeske says. “Cost should not be a factor nor should any disability preclude you from enjoying something that everyone else enjoys.”
