Dinner with fiancee on a Sunday in DC?
Hi I'm trying to look for a nice restaurant in the DC area for my fiancee's birthday in 2 weeks, who is relatively new to DC. I want to take her out for dinner on Sunday, but many restaurants aren't open on Sunday. I have a reservation for Volt at 915pm (not Table 21, and a little too late and far but better than nothing). Any other suggestions/ideas? My requirements: open Sunday evening, dinner for 2 under $200 (and we don't drink wine), within 25-30 mile radius from metro DC.

You haven't said where your starting point is, but consider:
The Goodstone Inn & Estate Restaurant in Middleburg, VA
L'Auberge Chez Francois in Great Falls, VA
Marcel's in DC
Palena in DC

Palena is only open for brunch (until 2:30 p.m.) on Sundays.
Proof would also be a nice spot, even if without wine.

I'm a big fan of Dino on Conn. Ave. in Cleveland Park. They are open Sundays.

Equinox or Corduroy? on the slightly more casual side: Zentan, Firefly, PS7, Bistro Bis, Blacksalt. All have solid food and a nice atmosphere.

I think a Volt dinner is a great birthday treat -- unless you really want to be finishing dinner earlier, I'd recommend keeping that reservation.

Volt is good but not as good as it thinks it is. Goodstone is very nice. A really nice place that has been around for quite a while but has done some amazing renovations and the chef is fantastic is Mrs. K's Toll House in Silver Spring, MD.
Columbia is the home of Aida Bistro, one of my favorites and a bit further north your fiancee would love Tersiguel's French Country restaurant.
