Courthouse Social is an awesome spot to hang out. Great vibe, friendly staff, and solid pub food. The outdoor seating is perfect for chilling with friends over a drink. Definitely one of my favorite local places—highly recommend it!“

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.

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

“One of my favorite places to go. The food is very solid and service/atmosphere can't be beat. Prices don't feel like I'm being ripped off either like much of DC has gotten to. Management is super friendly and great to work with. Always look forward to spending time here with my friends!“

“Great place to hangout with friends“

“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!“

“Dining at Open Road - Rosslyn was an absolute pleasure! Here’s a breakdown of our experience: Food: Popcorn Starter: A fun and tasty surprise! The complimentary popcorn was a great way to kick off the meal. The Shrimp and Grits: Simply outstanding—easily among the best I’ve ever had. Every bite was packed with flavor! The Philly Cheesesteak with Fries were served piping hot, with the cheesesteak perfectly seasoned and the fries golden and crispy. Service: The staff were fantastic—attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming. Their excellent service made the experience even more enjoyable. Price: The prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of both the food and service and the location. Great value overall!“

“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.“

“Had a blast friendly Staffa and great drinks“

“This is a great restaurant that starts with friendly staff at the host stand that greet you with a smile and help you get to your table. The menu is diverse and the wait staff are eager to help you narrow down options. My only complaint with the restaurant is the lack of fabrics or other decorative materials to absorb ambient noise. I found the noise levels to be very high and even sitting two feet across from my guests I had a hard time understanding the conversation. Food orders came out quickly. That could be both a positive or a negative (some people want a quick business meal, others on a more romantic occasion don't want to feel rushed). Food quality overall was excellent.“

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

“Just had the chicken sampler with 4 sides. It was delicious and more than enough to feed 4 hungry people. Will definitely order from them again. Joann Levine“

“Had Kyle as a server who was FANTASTIC!! Food and atmosphere were great! Would definitely recommend! ⭐️⭐️“

“Glad Westville decided to open up a location in Virginia, and what better than Clarendon! Similar to the New York locations, everything tastes healthy-ish and homemade, but maybe better than most city dwellers could do at home. Also an easy venue if you’re dining in a big group with pick eaters - lots of protein and veggie options, and super friendly to allergies and dietary restrictions.

Personal favorite was the fish sandwich. Veggie sides are all good and taste healthy (no heavy feeling that I get sometimes from veggie sides at restaurants - maybe they use a healthier oil or fewer additives). Carrot cake was flavorful and had a great texture, and love that it looked homemade as well.

Interior feels like an old school diner, and is super clean. Outdoor patio looks like a great place to enjoy an aperol spritz during the summer.“

“I really enjoyed my experience at this establishment. Although there was some initial confusion about how to accommodate my large group on its patio, the manager was exceedingly accommodating and our server (I believe her name is Sarah) was amazing. I will be back!“

“This is a good-bar that's reasonably priced. Food and service are great. Real people go here

Vegetarian options: You can leave meat off some items. The Westover Melt is veggie and delish.

Wheelchair accessibility: Roll right in“

“Delicious vegan brunch with nice outdoor seating!“

“We had a layover, and this was right next to our gate. The charcuterie was fantastic. The fig jam was some of the best we’ve ever eaten. The Lemon Shrimp was a full citric flavor blast, the Harissa was amazing, and the arugula salad was so fresh and crispy, with a delicious pepper forward flavor. The service was stellar. Attentive and friendly. Also… I highly recommend the passion fruit cosmopolitan. 🤌🏻“

“Just had a great lunch where we sat outside on the patio and had to order via QR code. Included in the notes about an allergy and they came out to tell us that one of the items we ordered couldn't be made without my allergy and there was still a chance of cross contamination. They removed the item and insisted on finding an acceptable substitute I could eat avoiding my allergies. I assume the gentleman who came out to speak with us was a manager, who understood allergies very well in party because he had a peanut allergy. Then after a great meal we left a hat and when I went back to get it, the same gentleman was RUNNING across the street to bring me the hat. That's incredible service and such care for those with allergies. I seldom feel safe eating out with my allergies and this place really put me at ease!“

“Great foods and great service.“

“Amazing service The best“

“Every time we dine at a Matchbox location, we remind ourselves to dine there more often There was something on the menu for every member of our group, and the staff did not rush us through our meal and conversation. Next time, we will save room for dessert!“

“Fast & friendly service and some very nice pasta for lunch... Nicer than I expected from the decor which was a bit old & tired - I probably wouldn't have tried the place, if it weren't for seeing other good reviews! Could stand to turn the AC down a bit “

“This is probably the best run airport restaurant/quick food option I’ve seen at an airport in years. They are friendly, efficient, and you can tell they actually care about the quality and presentation of the food they serve. The manager is doing an excellent job!!!!“

“I had the best server I’ve had in a real long time. His name was Bikal and he was efficient with our waters, food and checks and just overall great server and nice guy. He made my silver diner experience better.“

“Cool music on a Sat night!!!“

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

“Excellent place to stay when you want to be close to DCA/Reagan International airport. 3 minute drive in early AM. Super comfortable bed, nice cafe. Friendle courteous, competent staff. On-site parking. Great AC in room during hot day. Would stay again!“

“Get a new night manager because Willie is terrible. I got stuck in the garage around 12:30am this morning because the parking machine wouldn't read my QR code for a Spot Hero reservation (I was booked until 2am on 3/14. I was blocking traffic so I called the front desk for help. I asked if someone could come confirm that I paid for parking and raise the barrier but he refused to help, speaking over me and insisting that I call Spot Hero for assistance (spot hero customer service was closed and I'm not sure how they were supposed to help me exit the garage?!). A guest at the hotel who was trying to leave got tired of waiting behind me and used her ticket to let me out. I went to the front desk to get the name of the person on the intercom - it was the night manager Willie. I asked for the GM's name and email. He told me the GM's name is Mohammed and asked what the issue was in reference too. I told him it was about him not trying to assist with the garage issue. Then he wanted to talk/explain but I advised him a discussion wasn't necessary - I just wanted the GM's contact info. He got upset that I didn't want to listen to him and refused to give me the GM's email - told me to call in the morning since I "didn't want to talk like adults". I asked for the info or a business card again and he threatened to have security escort me out. Security looked just as confused as I was, especially since all I asked for was the GM's email. If your managers or the company are unable or unwilling to help Spot Hero customers who are STUCK in your garage, don't contract with them!! And I very well could have been a guest of the hotel - Willie never even asked. He's definitely on a power trip and it's bad for business. Was he just going to let me sit at the parking exit forever?! completely ridiculous. somebody needs to look into this“

“This is a mixed bag. Mostly had breakfast there which I thought was considerably overpriced. The buffet was well thought out but had nothing that I don't see in hotels around the world at almost double the price. Within the last year I've had breakfast in Berlin, Athens, and Rome and the most I paid was 16 Euro. Sat at the bar area two evenings and both times it took me multiple requests for a drink from the same server. The food I ate was good, at temperature and delivered by the kitchen staff rather than the server. By the end of the week we were doing breakfast and dinner in local establishments.“
