“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“We had a wonderful dinner at 1789 Restaurant to celebrate our anniversary. A lovely atmosphere, incredible staff, and FANTASTIC food and craft cocktails. The Brown Butter Old Fashioned is the best I’ve ever had. The staff went above and beyond to help us celebrate our anniversary. At the end of the meal, they presented us with a special, DELICIOUS dessert that included a thin piece of chocolate that said “Happy Anniversary” on it. I can’t wait to eat here again on our next visit to the DC area.“

Every guest truly enjoyed their meal, and it was the perfect way to mark such a special occasion. Highly recommend!“

Her warm and welcoming demeanor, coupled with a genuine smile, immediately set the tone for a fantastic evening. Neariah's attentiveness was remarkable - she anticipated our needs before we even had to voice them, making us feel truly valued and cared for throughout our meal.

We have made a mental note to request to be seated in Neariah's section on our future visits, as her exceptional service truly enhances our dining experience. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail are commendable, and we cannot wait to be served by her again.

Neariah is a gem in the hospitality industry, and her dedication to providing top-notch service is truly appreciated. Thank you, Neariah, for making our evening memorable and enjoyable. We look forward to returning and experiencing your exceptional service once more.

Sarah the events manager made my booking process so easy, she is knoweldgeable and profetional but also so nice and easy to work with,
Jun and Frank went above and beyond to accommodate our group and even offered a great alternative indoor space in case of rain.
Shoutout to Richard, Yulia and Chad For the big smiles and the great service,

I highly recommend this place for anyone planning a fun, stress-free event because I’m sure you will be in good hands.“

“If you are on a gluten free diet, this restaurant is a real treat. This is the ONLY restaurant I know of in the entire DC area that offers gluten free French toast!!! It is really yummy. It is gluten free cinnamon raison bread that they make into French toast. It is served with maple syrup that has few slices of bananas in it. It is always served warm. (Be sure to look for the bananas. If the French toast is served with sliced strawberries, that is the wheat based French toast.) This restaurant also has gluten free bread so most of their sandwiches can be made gluten free upon request. And they can make their eggs benedict gluten free by using their gluten free toast. It is a very pleasant experience dining here. I usually dine outside. They are located on a small street in Georgetown. Georgetown can be crowded but on this small street, it is never very busy. On a nice weather day, it is a pleasant experience to eat the gluten free French toast while enjoying the weather. The service is always good too. I enthusiastically recommend this restaurant.“

“We decided to do lunch at Ted’s Bulletin. The ambience of the restaurant was very nice and modern. The portion sizes are large, prices are reasonable and the food taste delicious.“

“Incredible food and atmosphere and service 5 stars all the way“

“We came here on a Friday, and it wasn’t that busy yet our server cash was the most valuable part of our time here, she was so kind and helped us with all the questions we had. She made this one of my favorite dmv experiences and I will definitely be coming back and telling EVERYONE about this place“

“Great with food allergies/dietary restrictions and super accommodating. Highly suggest!“

“they had a really hot guy working there with a little bracelet on what is his name but overall good food.“

“ONE Bar&Grill is our number one restaurant choice in Old Town Fairfax. We have visited several times and EVERY meal has been amazing! Mina the owner, and Stephanie along with all the servers are first class people. Fairfax is fortunate to have such a top notch restaurant! We look forward to many future visits.“

“Places in strip malls really have to work extra hard to make people forget they're in a strip mall, and this place doesn't quite get there. Food was good, not fantastic. The concept of dishes from different cities is not new and gives the impression they're not really skilled at any one thing. (Also cheese curds are yellow, not white, I'm from Wisconsin.) Service was fine. Layout is a little weird, trying to be both a sports bar and a restaurant and it doesn't really have room for both. If I'm in the neighborhood again, would repeat. Won't specifically seek it out.“

“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!“

“I love the food and great service!👍♥️“

“Amazing! Still dreaming about the… everything!“

“Very welcoming from the time we walked in the door. Had the Bison filet and it was perfect. The entire staff was on point with everything. Great for a date night or to bring the family out for dinner! Can’t wait to come again“

“The entire experience was awesome! We didn’t have reservations, as we just came from a show. They worked us in and the tapas style dining was just what we needed for an upscale, late-night meal. Flavor was out of this world and presentation was art! I’ll definitely be back & highly recommend the ninniku noodles with duck confit. 🤤“

“I decided to spontaneously try out a nearby restaurant that I hadn't visited before for lunch, and it turned out to be a delightful experience! From the moment I stepped in, Sabrina, my server, exuded warmth and professionalism. She guided me through the menu with genuine enthusiasm, recommending some of the restaurant's standout dishes. The Clyde’s burger, crafted from premium beef, surpassed my expectations in both flavor and quality. Even the New York Cheesecake was to die for! The ambiance was inviting and laid-back, providing the perfect backdrop for a leisurely meal. Without a doubt, I'll be returning to savor another culinary adventure at this wonderful establishment.“

“Had my first brunch at Sequoia and it was just as nice as a summer day! The venue alone already counts a lot, the food was great! We had a swirl margarita which was really good, and we ordered two dishes to share and the sizes were pretty good for two people. Their guaca with chips is also really tasty! Plus you get the beautiful view from the Potomac. It was perfect!“

“Reliable! Always delicious!“

“Our latest visit to Circa in Clarendon gave us good reason to dine at Circa more often; one member of our group opted for the three-course Restaurant Week lunch, and the other member had the seared tuna salad on the a la carte menu. The menu choices are extensive, and we won't overlook this dining venue again!“

“Great food & service. Chill atmosphere that’s great for date night or night with kids. We go to Harveys almost every week!“

“Hamrock's is a wonderful local restaurant, which has consistently good food, and value. We enjoy their restaurant week menu. In celebration of my birthday, they provided a delicious dessert with a glass of champagne! Very thoughtful and generous!“

“Had plant- based and beef sausage corn dogs. Excellent. Really tasty. Highly recommend.“

“My husband and I have been dining at Green Pig Bistro for over ten years for special occasions (birthdays and anniversaries). This was our first time at their new location and while we enjoyed the food (as always), we were disappointed in the service. James was our server and he did a good job with recommendations, however, we felt rushed and forgotten at times. This was my birthday celebration dinner and it fell flat.“

“Thanks again for a wonderful dinner shared with my family. Though it’s been many, many years, it’s still the same, with a few changes, its a great place. I know I can always count on you all every single time and I’m proud to know you’ve been my neighbor all these years as well. Whenever you’re around, it always feels more like home. And I love that for all these years you’ve had the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue. So many friends have been given a forever home, including a very special friend of mine. Thanks for all you continue to do. I hope you never leave us.“
