Stayed at the Loews before and after a big trip. Ended up eating here 3 times. Great meals and service - especially from Sid. He made the end of a long day very easy with a great entree suggestion and great service.

We had reservations. They "overbooked" so we had to sit by a drafty door near the bar. Our waitress was cold, uncaring and in a big hurry. No mention of appetizers or drinks, just rush right into the meal. I have had better service at Red Robin. Will not return. Meal was meh. No reason to return. Service is important and the Ashburn was less than ok.

The food wasn't bad, but we didn't think it was particularly flavorful but it was okay.The host was the star of the restaurant!Parking: It is a tower parking garage. The restaurant will validate parking. Lots of spaces, but plan to drive to very high levels to find one.

Tried to call here, no answer so I made a reservation on the website which used RESY.. When my party of 6 arrived at the restaurant my wife and guests went to the restaurant while I parked the car. After parking, I found my party squeezed into a table that was half way out of the restaurant. My wife said the person seating us said there was a problem with our reservation (which I later confirmed,) that they were fully booked and would try to accommodate us the best they could. We were in the bar area. I checked the other two areas twice during our dinner. The main area was never more than 2/3rds full, including at least two tables empty that could have accommodated 6 or 8 people and a 3rd dining area that was totally empty. The food was adequate, although one of our guests ordered a burger rare that came out well done. I had the Branzino fish Indian style which I enjoyed. The skin was crispy but the fish a bit over cooked. We shared a brussel sprout appetizer that was very good and everyone else seemed to enjoy their dinner selections. Our server Rajin was very good. I would note that everyone in my party was well dressed for a later theatre performance, there was certainly nothing in our demeanor or appearance that set us apart from the other diners or would give them cause to not want to seat us. I might recommend this place if I was staying at the hotel, it was adequate, but I think they could have easily given us a better table and that is a sore point.

A decent spot, but beware. The front desk tells you hours that are not accurate. The chicken wings are great if they actually stay open long enough for you to order them.

Upscale appearance with a semi-casual, relaxed atmosphere. The food was spot on! Our server was friendly and attentive, and offered great suggestions and feedback (which I appreciate).The food was pretty good, the service was excellent and the prices were fair. All in all we had a nice experience :)

Went for breakfast this morning. Made a rsvp on Resy. Server was great. The hostess was super helpful by offering stickers for parking validation before we even asked. The food was great. I had the breakfast pizza for $18 and it was so good. We’ve been for lunch and dinner before, and it’s always good. One of my faves.

A hidden gem in the area. Great service and delicious food. The breakfast buffet has a good selection of food and a station where a chef will make your omelet to order or if you prefer just plain sunny side up or over easy eggs.

Wonderful experience! Dined here last night for a business meeting and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals and drinks. I got the Caesar salad with steak which was excellent.Also loved that they validated parking for the restaurant itself, as we weren’t guests at the hotel but were looking for a cozy restaurant in the area. Very impressed!

Near the airport and not a chain - there isn't much that's decent. This is a refreshing, albeit basic option. Wine list is decent, the bar is full of good options and the menu is typical gastro-pub options. The cheese and charcuterie board is good enough. My friend was not a fan of the wild rice with the barramundi, although the fish was great!Parking: Get your ticket validated. It was $30 for 2 hours when I didn't =(

Food isn't great. Most things I ordered were over cooked. The signature calamari was dry and not coated evenly with the sauce. When the garnish is better than the hero that says something. The service was awesome! Very very good! The wait staff was very attentive and quick to serve as well as the hostesses! Ambiance is nice but the quality of the food is disappointing.

Overall, unimpressive. We arrived for dinner and after a short wait for a table, we were shown to our seats. It started well with the hostess asking us what the kids would want to drink so she could get that started for us. The waiter stopped by after around ten minutes and pushed to take our regular order right away. He made a recommendation, which I always appreciate. He went down the line quick as he could and once he took my order he just left without seeing if, perhaps, the adults would like something to drink other than water.From then on, we were ghosted. Food was brought out and placed quickly then he would leave again as abruptly as he came.As for the food itself, I had the short rib, which was the recommendation. The meat was dry as a bone and woefully under seasoned. My wife had a steak, medium rare, same experience.Waiter came back to find out how to split the bill, we tell him. He leaves, fifteen minutes later he asks us if we would like anything else...I tell him the bill and a box for my daughters meal, we (wife and I) had a quick maybe 10 second exchange about whether a box was necessary and when I turned to confirm the box, waiter had already left.He returns sans box and with the bills. We pay and leave.Overall, the atmosphere matched the prices on the menu, but food and service detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.Kid-friendliness: We had four kids with us, and I suspect that was the reason for the poor service. There was another table that the waiter visited much more frequently and they had no kids. No way to know for sure.
