“Fantastic food and fellowship with some amazing scientists and staff from NIH/NCI this Holiday season. 🎄🍭😊“

“Old Angler’s Inn is a must visit. The beautiful setting, great food, and warm hospitality make it an unforgettable experience. Special thanks to Erion for his incredible attention to detail, hands-on approach, and outstanding service. He truly made the evening exceptional. Can’t recommend this place enough! Thank you Old Angler’s Team! From the greeting to the goodbye sensational!“

“Delicious brunch and excellent service!“

“Food, service, and atmosphere were all good. Scallops I had were delicious. Non-sweet iced tea was fine. Asparagus was surprisingly good and crisp. Mashed potatoes were fine. The restaurant interior was nice and clean. The layout was less than ideal. Traveling to bathroom takes you past a semi open kitchen. Just odd.“

“We had salmon and a filet, and they were wonderfully prepared. The atmosphere around the bar was very pleasant. The staff is marvelously friendly.
The front door is hard to find. (It's in the courtyard.) They need some good directional signage!“

“Chris was an awesome server.
He really know how to make us feel special as he serves us our awesome food!
We will definitely come back here, not just for the food but also for the experience…

Keep it up!“

“Came here over the weekend while in the area for work and I'm so glad I did! My husband and I loved the food, especially the chocolate cake. Everyone we interacted with was so friendly, Ann/Anne was our server and did a fantastic job. She mentioned she was new, but you would never know it. Highly recommend!“

“Rio Lakefront is a nice place to spend some time, with AMC, Dave & Buster’s, climbing, and a nice walking path by the lake. Yard House has decent food, though there’s still some room for improvement. The vibe is great, and the happy hour makes it worth stopping by.“

“My wife and I had brunch on the patio at the White House location today and it was fantastic! We had a mezze platter appetizer, Havana sandwich and shakshuka & arepas entrees, and tres leches for dessert. All were spectacular, as was the service! Highly recommended!“

“First time here and the food was very good. The sauce with the mussels was the best. I could dip bread into the sauce and eat that by itself. The prawns were outstanding from the smoked grill. The pineapple cake was my favorite with the toasted coconut.“

“The service was immaculate. Really warm and kind people who were efficient and smart. PK was our waiter and did a great job. He left us all with a smile on our face. Excellent.“

“Had such an amazing experience at Earle’s! Host Krish was absolutely amazing. He was so professional, funny, and made the whole experience even better. He was super friendly and attentive and honestly just made the night so much more fun. 10/10 service and would definitely come back because of him!!“

“Great food and service, but disappointed that they have been out of AC for two months. They need to tell their customers at the door before they are seated. Not right especially if customers have respiratory issues. Some in the restaurant that day were experiencing discomfort Stay away from the Rockville Location until they fix the AC“

“Great experience from service to food! The brown sugar Ted’s tart was to die for! Well done all!“

“This is for the Silver Diner in Chantilly,VA. We live a little over 2 hours away but stopped here for dinner after car shopping and we were not disappointed! My husband and son both had milkshakes and burgers and I got the meatloaf. Classic diner menu but really elevated and creative. Everything was delicious, loved the decor, service was friendly and bathrooms were clean.“

“Booked the private dining area for a post-wedding celebration. The experience far exceeded expectations. Impeccable service. Wonderful ambiance. Heavenly food. Great food and beverage pairings. Highly recommended for a perfect evening.“

“Literally some of the best steak I’ve ever eaten in my life. And I’m very picky about my steaks“

“We enjoyed brunch here for our anniversary. I have several food allergies and I was well accommodated. The food was wonderful and the service friendly. We will be back“

“Ballston Local is an amazing place to dine in, or order out. Everything in the menu was delicious and the brunch was far better than expected. Loved it every single time“

“So happy to have Red’s within walking distance of my house. We recently took a group of friends there and were lucky to get the private room. Great food and service! Tried their oysters for the first time and they were really good.“

“Great atmosphere and good food.“

“Overall, the food was good, but there were a few areas that could have been better. The duck was very different from what we expected. We initially thought it would be a whole duck served with lavender, but it arrived as just two slices per person. While I appreciate the time and effort that goes into preparing the dish, I think the menu should provide a clearer description of what guests will actually receive. The flavor was also quite strong, even for someone who enjoys duck.

The service was less attentive than expected, and since we were celebrating a birthday, we were hoping for a little more acknowledgment. The restaurant did provide a birthday card, which was a nice gesture, but there was nothing else special for the occasion.

On the positive side, I really enjoyed the salad and the side dishes we ordered. Overall, it was a good dining experience, but the food presentation, service, and birthday experience could have been better.“

“Great time and good food. Bring the whole group!“

“Amazing atmosphere and some of the best cocktails in the area!!!“

“Absolutely spectacular! The food, the atmosphere, the event coordinator, the staff, absolutely everything was top notch. We absolutely loved it.“

“Best classic American breakfast I've had in Northern Virginian. Comes as close to what I grew up with in the Tidewater area as I have had here in NOVA. Eggs were cooked and SEASONED nicely, bacon was CRISP, potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and they were nice chunks. Ketchup had a flavor twist that was delicious. Coffee had a good flavor and the cup was huge. Prices were very competitive.“

“A highly enjoyable meal. The menu was as we remembered from past visits and we visit revisited some old favorites as well as trying the daily special. Always excellent. The waiter and other staff were highly attentive. We will definitely return again.“

“Excellent dinner: Moules Marinières and Salade Niçoise and an inexpensive and tasty Bordeaux.“

“Yep:P it was very good the food the ppl and the reset urs for“

“My favorites are the crabcakes, bbq ribs and the coleslaw! Beautiful,welcoming atmosphere always.“

“I’ve been to yard house so many times and each time I like it more. Last time I went they were playing Argentina vs Cabo verde in the World Cup so the place was a bit Busy as everyone wanted to watch the game. I normally get dragonfruit lemonade which is really good. The service was a fine since the place was really busy and there was a 45 minute wait for a table so I just waited at the bar. The atmosphere is really loud and hard to talk over it but it was understandable. The one thing js that it’s kind of pricey for some slightly upscale bar food. The steak was good though.“

“We ordered a 45 lb.whole Lechon last Wednesday to celebrate passing our state survey with zero deficiencies at our two assisted living home in Potomac, MD, as well as a few staff birthdays, including our owner's.

​They did not disappoint! From the very start, communication with the owner, Rose, was smooth sailing and top-notch. Since it was our first time ordering, she kindly offered free delivery.😘

​The Lechon arrived perfectly on time, still warm, with skin that was incredibly crunchy. It also came with two bottles of their delicious homemade sauce that complemented the roast perfectly.

Everyone was rave reviewing the food, and it made our double celebration truly special.
​We can't wait to place our next order. Give 5 Star from scratch catering a call for your next party they are definitely a 10-star business in our book!“

“Hello Sir, I accept your proposal.“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Matchbox used to be one of my favorite restaurant chains. Now that it's owned by some big corporate company, it sucks. The drinks and food are expensive at the Mosaic location. and there for very few people there. It used to have such a great vibe; it was always full of people at the tables and the bar. please bring back the original owners!“

“Wonderful food and service. We all had different dinners off the menu. The French onion soup was some of the best I had. We walked in and were met with smiles and seated fast with no reservations.“

“Very good. And I will be returning“

“Great Easter Brunch small plates. Service was fantastic! Enjoyed our Easter. Bar looks fun! We were upstairs! Seating outside too! Reasonable pricing“

“Thanks! Food was excellent!“

“This was the first time we went to this restaurant and it was quite a treat. The brussels sprouts were excellent a new take on what we’ve had at other restaurants.. The tuna poke was also out of this world.. the burger that my daughter had was really good and I had the beef was phenomenal.

Equally important was the service given by our server Redlet — was knowledgeable very friendly and gave great suggestions. Thanks to him! Great job“

“Comfortable, friendly, good choices, efficient service, tasty food. Nice plating.“

“I had the local strawberry and watermelon salad and it was the most original and delicious thing I've eaten all summer. Combines sweet and juicy with crunchy and savory, with a great house-made dressing. I wish I'd tried this place sooner.“

“Amazing service. Extremely accommodating to us and helpful trying to help us keep our babies in the party happy. Definitely recommend for the service alone but would also recommend solely based on the food as well. Chicken soup was great and chicken tawook was the best Ive ever had. Super flavorful and juicy“

“Beautiful set up and ambience..“

“Loved this place. The atmosphere, food and most of the drinks were great. Victoria, the barista, knew her coffee and it showed in the drinks. Great place to hangout, chill or go out on a date.“

“Food was awesome! Atmosphere was warm! Wait staff extremely attentive. We LOVE that it is farm to table, they have their own bee hives and grow their own herbs! Menu was unique and the octopus appetizer was SO crazy good!“
