“Tasty food. Atmosphere and service are fine to good. Wish they'd add a little more variety to their beer selection. It's great if you like unfiltered, citrusy IPA's. Adding in a couple more pilsners/kolch's/stouts would be appreciated. Some comfy bar stools would be nice, too, instead of hard, wooden, backless ones.“
“After being turned away at the restaurant upstairs due to overcrowding the awesome receptionist pointed me to an unmarked door downstairs in their entrance way. And that’s how I found this incredible tucked away gem! Joined the bar alone,but was soon socializing with some of Rosslyn’s nicer residents. The Wagyu Burger, that everyone around me ordered was incredible! Too bad all my random stumbling can’t end up with great wine, good food, and new friends like this? Btw, I do recommend if you can find it.“
“My first time and it Blew my mind. I had the chicken noodle soup and it did not disappoint me. The drinks were delicious. The customer service was great! Our waiter’s name was Iris! Big shout out to Iris! We had a large group and she was simply amazing. She is a true asset to your restaurant!“
“My family and I go to Circa go all the time and were never left disappointed. Food is great and so is the staff. When we went last night it was busy, as usual, which was fine because they’re usually very good at dealing with that however this time it was different. Our server was not attentive and changed halfway through our meal. However we still didn’t receive attentive service. Our server seemed like they were in a rush and wouldn’t come for long periods of time. Other than that, it was still a good meal.“
“This is the first review I have written for a restaurant because I had never received such excellent service.I ordered an egg white omelette with ham and cheese. The omelette was okay. The service was top-notch . My server Sylvana was great! I drank a lot of water, and she kept my glass full. My food was correct and FAST.Speed: checkAccuracy: checkFriendliness: checkI do have one piece of constructive criticism: clean the floors more.Parking: You need to get your ticket validated.“
“Great spot for brunch in Arlington. The GPB waffle was the perfect waffle and the American Breakfast was a great accompaniment to the waffle. The cheesy hash browns are so unique and tasty. The food came out quickly and the service was great. Great spot for an Easter brunch.“
“Had such a great experience here this weekend. Servers were funny and attentive and the martinis are STRONG. Food doesn’t make you feel bloated when you leave and they have awesome healthy options. Great date night place or girls night happy hour. Will be back!!!“
“Ballston Local is not just a restaurant; it's a beacon of culinary delight, casting a warm and welcoming glow over the neighborhood. With its super friendly service and an atmosphere as inviting as a family gathering, this spot is a testament to the joy of shared plates and hearty conversations.Our culinary journey at Ballston Local was nothing short of a gastronomic festival, celebrating the finest in casual dining with a twist of sophistication. The Mama's Meatballs, nestled in herbed ricotta and accompanied by perfectly grilled garlic bread, were so tender and flavorful as if every bite whispers a secret recipe passed down through generations, served with a dollop of love.The Caprese Crostini was a symphony of flavors, harmonizing the saltiness of prosciutto with the freshness of tomato and arugula, all elevated by a drizzle of balsamic reduction that danced on the palate. It wasn't just an appetizer; it was an aria, sung by the ingredients in perfect pitch.Pizza lovers, rejoice, for the Sausage & Roni Pizza is a masterpiece of dough, cheese, and cured meats. The blend of pepperoni, Italian sausage, mozzarella, parmesan, and basil was a testament to the power of simple ingredients coming together to create something magical. Each slice was a ticket to an Italian countryside.The Italian Pork Store Special sandwich was a hearty homage to the classic Italian deli experience, with layers of prosciutto, sopressatta, ham, and fresh mozzarella, accented by roasted peppers and arugula, then kissed with vinaigrette. It was a hearty handheld feast that transported us straight to the streets of Rome, one savory bite at a time.And then, there was the Blumont Burger, a burger behemoth that stood tall and proud. The caramelized onions, gorgonzola, arugula, and bacon came together in a beautiful, messy, glorious union, all slathered in burger sauce that could only be described as "nectar of the gods." It was the kind of burger that demands your attention, commanding the stage with the poise of a seasoned actor. I'm not usually a fan of blue cheeses, but I would come back for this.The beverage menu at Ballston Local was a parade of liquid joy. From a beer and wine list that is both satisfying and inviting to a fun and tasty cocktail menu that sparked conversation and laughter like the "Spa Day" made with gin, lavender simple syrup, and lime juice sparkling with gold flakes, every sip was a celebration of good taste and great company.Overall, Ballston Local, in essence, is more than a restaurant--It's a place where every dish is a discovery, every drink a delight, and every visit a return to a place where you're always welcome.“
“What a fun place! It’s massive, has great food, lots of fantastic win and a cool vibe. Highly recommend for larger groups- we had a happy hour for a huge group— everyone comfortably spread out. The patatas bravas were absolutely amazing- super crisp with a spicy sauce on top. The yucca/plantain chips were yum and the wings were good (nothing special but great). My friend loved everything she got.“
“Stopped in for a proper pint at the bar on Saturday afternoon and took advantage of their Happy House food menu -- the calamari was fabulous! Perfectly done (NOT rubbery) and love the added bite of the chili peppers. Also got a simple red pizza - great crust and loved the addition of fontina. Well done all around!“
“Took my son there to celebrate his birthday. Reservations were easy. Staff was AMAZING! The food was excellent, from the frog legs to the Wagyu burgers to the steaks, not a disappointed person at all. Espresso martinis were good as well. I enjoyed the wine selection. The restaurant is also located in a great location. I’ve already recommended to many people.“
“We were pleasantly surprised that it was easy to find a brunch table on a Saturday. Our server Chelsea was polite and helpful, even offering us a complimentary dessert, as they seemed a bit short- staffed. The portions were excellent and we very much enjoyed our meal. We'll be back! “
“We went there on a recent trip to DC. Amine was out waiter/bartender. He made a great Old Fashion. The service and food were good. A good selection of sharable apps. We sat in the bar area where there were ample tvs to watch March madness.“
“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!“
“Had a great time hanging out with friends last weekend. Bronson is typically a popular location; so I was glad we were able to find a table. They do take reservations; so something to consider if you are planning a visit. We ordered a couple Dunkel beers, giant stuffed pretzel with jalapeños, tater tots, fries, and sausages for the table. One of my friends also ordered a salad, which she said was good. We enjoyed all the food and beer. We also played a couple board games, which they have several stacks of near the kitchen. I'd definitely come back. Thanks for a great experience!“
“Breakfast was great!!! I got the scrambled eggs with toast and added bacon. Wish they had grape jam/jelly to go with my toast but they don't serve it. And the cheese on my eggs was just on top, wish it was incorporated throughout where i got the same taste in every bite.“
“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 “
“Excellent food, up-to-date surroundings. Tupelo Honey's biscuits and blueberry jam are a savory & sweet combination that is the perfect start to the meal. I had the shrimp po' boy. The shrimp are doused in a chipotle sauce that had just enough heat to elevate the experience above the norm. I also tasted the pork shoulder and immediately regretted not getting it instead!“
“Copperwood is great. The food is good. They usually have good beer and wines to choose from. Go during happy hour and sit in the bar area. Other than that the food is overpriced as is much of Shirlington, probably why so many restaurants close.“
“I hosted my Brother’s 40th birthday party this past weekend at Carlyle! I planned this party from the Hampton Roads area, which is not local. Morgan and her team were there to answer questions for me and made this the BEST experience! I had tried booking other places for this event and everything was SO complicated or expensive. I’m so thankful for the previous people who left reviews about the food because it made Carlyle an EASY choice !The atmosphere here is ELEGANT and WARM at the same time. I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better restaurant for this party. The party guests loved their meals ! (Please try the Crab CAKES OMGOSH!!)We CLEANED our plates ! Do you hear me?!!! The food was SO good! Everyone had smiles on their faces and the service was EXCELLENT! Our servers were so respectful and responsive — we had a great time ! The good people at Carlyle made my Brother’s 40th birthday dinner one to remember! Thank you Morgan and Josue for working with me and making it easy ! I WILL be back !! ❤️❤️❤️“
