Steak House
“I did a take out of their delicious Aloo and piyaz pakoras for our Iftari a week or so ago. The packaging was great which included a generous amount of their tasty green chutney. I glanced at their menu main items and their prices seemed high. Manager/owner and helper were polite and friendly. Great efficient service. Good restaurant atmosphere. I wish them success with their new desi restaurant.“
“Our waitress Alexandria made our night, she was so attentive and caring (we celebrated two birthdays and she took nice pictures of us and gave us candles with our desserts). The food was on point as well, we ordered scallops on risotto and 16oz prime rib, cooked to perfection. :)“
“I really enjoyed my experiences at the The Walrus. They have fresh shucked oysters, the Wally's are the house oyster and they were very good. I think I tried every fresh oyster and there were some excellent options that I thoroughly enjoyed. I also had the lobster roll togo and it was loaded with lobsta. They crab cakes were ok, but they are not using fresh local crab meat. The service was fantastic, it's what had me return, a great experience! The great fresh oysters were also a draw for me.“
“My Mom loved the meatloaf! Jahlia is a wonderful server! I asked for a suggestion that was delicious & somewhat healthy. The LEMON CHICKEN PICCATA was perfect & something I wouldn't have thought to try! My Mom's first visit to any Silver Diner & my first to this location. An extremely pleasant experience beginning with the hostess opening the doors for us. Great old fashion diner atmosphere! Definitely too full to try the dessert menu but it was tempting!“
“My hubby and I have been to Carlyle twice. Both times we shared the Judith Point calamari with the corn salsa. Calamari preparation can range from horribly rubbery and tasteless, to just “meh,” or to what Carlyle has done with it - fried to perfection, with complementary flavors in the sauces and corn salsa- for the win!I ordered the smoked salmon on my first visit two years ago, and because it was so tastefully prepared, I couldn’t bring myself to try another dish. It is just delicious.Hubby ordered crab cakes, along with coleslaw and shoestring fries. Crab cakes were meaty and flavorful. Sides were good.Atmosphere and service are good. I love that it’s in a walkable area, just a few blocks from the Shirlington Hilton. Give Carlyle a try!“
“They were amazing with my milk allergy and super friendly. We never had to ask for a refill or anything; someone was there quickly to help us with whatever before we had to ask. We visited from 9.5 hours away, but will be recommending to everyone we know that’s coming this way for vacation! It was a nice little hidden gem!“
“My whole family thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. We stopped many times to look at each other and say "wow". It was that good! My husband and I did the Dinner Passport, so we tried 7 different items (1 dish we ordered twice).These were our top 4:1. Crispy Potatoes (Pictured. Don't underestimate these. The potatoes are perfectly crisped and the aji picante it's served with is unreal. This is what we ordered twice.)2. Sesame Steak Skewers (A very close second for us)3. Tuna Crudo4. Dan Dan Noodles (Pictured)The food was quick and the manager was attentive and spoke with each table about their experience. We will for sure be back!“
“An absolute gem! Everyone was lovely, the cocktails AND mocktails were delicious, and the small plates were to die for! Can't wait to go back and dig into their wine list. Don't leave without the trying the charred dates or the fried goat cheese, they're knockouts!!Vegetarian options: Some veg small plates, would love to see more veg entrees on the menu“
“Sat the bar on a solo sunday funday. It's on a nice street with street vendors. I came for the food and wasn't disappointed. The she crab soup was very good. I can't tell if the base was store bought but amount of sherry was spot on. I would probably say that if I wanted she crab soup, I'd go here from here on out. They had some soft shells and they were delicious. I should have asked for capers but that's just my preference. Drinks were well made. All in all, a tasty treat. I can't speak to the dinner experience though I'm tempted to try.“
“Everything about this diner is absolutely out-standing! Came in for my birthday brunch, just my Bestfriend and I. Had the “SHRIMP AND GRITS” and listen… the hands down most amazing flavors. Just delicious! She had the steak frites and absolutely loved it! Highly recommend“
“I want to start by saying, this is a very clean establishment. Staff is very friendly and they show you, your food before you leave. Everything is fresh and cooked to order. You can request, to have your food, lightly seasoned or a lot of seasoning. I recommend the Jumbo shrimp!!! Not like most carry-outs, it’s cooked fresh, not frozen, and absolutely delicious. The shrimp fried rice is loaded with shrimp!! I highly recommend, This is Seafood!!! You won’t be disappointed!! I will be visiting again, I want to try the seafood boil.“
“We love The Majestic and dine here often. Great for a special occasion and also for a ransom weekday evening. The food is always great and the service (Ellie in particular) is top notch! If you like an Old Fashioned this one is spectacular... try it smoked!“
“Borrowing from their words. More than 30 years later, the Silver Diner has gone from a nostalgic American icon serving affordable family food to a highly overrated restaurant serving overpriced food that allegedly reflect’s today’s lifestyles. But the one thing that will never change is the stench of their restrooms throughout the diner.“
“Miko, my server was excellent. As a solo vacationer and I was there they during off hours he was kind enough to engage in casual conversation, very pleasant. This location was perfect for outside dining where there the foot traffic was not distracting. The burger was cooked to perfection as ordered and the shoestring fries were delicious as well. Highly recommended.“
“I had a great time at Burton’s Grill (Alexandria) yesterday (9/30/23). The food was amazing, the drinks were good and strong. The staff was awesome. The GM came and introduced himself to us. The chef came out and talked to us about our food allergies. Our server “T” was as so amazing. She went above and beyond. I really enjoyed myself and I will be back.“
“A very colonial experience, in decor, food and of course the man dressed in period clothing coming around each table for entertainment. Food was very good, I had the roast chicken and my husband the duck, both with roasted potatoes and veggies. My martini was on point too. Only complaint is the noise level in the dining room we were in was way too loud at times. Noise on those plaster walls bounces...if you are noise sensitive, bring ear buds.“
“super cute spot in such a cute area! the area has loads of good shops around it. the area is incredibly walkable and outdoor/dog friendly. a good amount of indoor as well as outdoor seating throughout! the staff was so sweet and made for a nice experience :)“
“I was truly blown away by how delicious every single dish at The Study was. As a Guatemalan, I found the creative use of Latin American ingredients and flavors in the unique dishes at The Study not only interesting and creative but also familiar and nostalgic. I love it when food takes me to a happy place. Chef Tomas Chavarria and chef Madeline Guzman can really create magic in the kitchen. Some of my favorite dishes included the kalbi ssam short rib lettuce wraps, the sweet plantain empanadas, the Costa Rican ceviche, the duck magret and achiote, the tres leches, and the coffee flan. I also loved the seasonal cherry blossom-inspired cocktail and the mocktail they prepared specially for me. I really loved the ambiance, and even though I had dinner here with friends, I think this is the perfect restaurant for a date night or for celebrating something special.“
“Husband and I both got 2 meat platter because we wanted leftovers. It’s enough food for 3 meals easy. Everything was delicious!! My favorites were the brisket, cucumber salad and cornbread. Donna’s got it going on cause her food is full of flavor!!“
“This restaurant located on the second floor inside the Hyatt Regency was pretty good for a hotel restaurant. The breakfast buffet (with an omelette station!) had a lot of options and there along with a menu if you didn't want the buffet. The service was very good and the staff was friendly and attentive. I would recommend eating here if you're staying in the hotel!“
“This is my favorite hip and cozy place. Tried their vegan bbq beef sandwich for the first time, and it was amazing. So many options in the menu for people with different tastes and diet requirements. Free parking garage right across. Waiters have portable terminals for quick and efficient payment. Free wifi. Community tables for you and your portable device when you need to work while sipping your latte or eating your sandwich. Great place for breakfast or lunch. Edit: came for a special occasion again and tried Vegan Pasta entree, Vegan BBQ Bowl, and the chicken sandwich. Every one of them was 5/5.“
“Looking for a fun activity with our family before Thanksgiving, we chose bowling. The prices were definitely cheaper than commercial locations. The place was clean with stations every few lanes with balls organized by color and weight. There were ramps available for anyone to use if necessary. There is also the ability to set bumpers to raise and lower for an individual in your group. You have the ability to edit your score, which is great because a few times pins would fall on their own and add to the score. There were options for scoring using regular bowling rules or other fun games. While we didn’t eat there, but there were plenty of food and drink selections. My only issue was the balls were very oily and the finger holes were very small. Staff said that’s how they were ordered but offered me a small container of baby powder to use.“
“This carryout has a nice small town feel. The restaurant is cozy, and the location is great. The menu looks really intriguing, enough to go back multiple times and try more items. The Smoked Turkey Club was a great sandwich to enjoy. However, what they call jerk chicken for their jerk chicken sandwich is anything but. It was a bit disappointing, but it won’t stop me from going back to try other menu items“
“A lovely place to celebrate a birthday or anything else, or just because. The wagyu and brussel sprouts were delicious, finished with a birthday treat light and fluffy mango popsicle dessert, also a sweet delicious surprise. I will definitely dine here again. Our server only checked on us once, yet the place was not crowded on a Friday night in late January, so 4 stars for that.“
