Tapas Restaurants near Broadlands, VA

“Parallel has become one of our favorite go-to spots for happy hour. The atmosphere is relaxed yet lively. We absolutely love the duck fat fries. They are crisp and thick cut. The fried pickles are also very good and if the kids are with us we get the chicken and waffles and kids mac n cheese. It's an amazing gourmet mac n cheese and the fresh fruit side is picture perfect every time.

Montepulciano has become one of our favorite wines. I also enjoy the pinot grigio and sauvignon blanc in the summer. We weren't fans of the chardonnay, but the rest of the wines more than make up for it. Great old fashioned - well balanced.

Service has always been good. All the servers are friendly and knowledgeable about the drink and food menus. We love the atmosphere as well. Very rustic and down to earth.“

“My Tastebuds we’re having a party. The food was succulent and scrumptious. I felt like I had gone back to Spain. It is a must for anyone who appreciates good food. Cannot stop telling my friends how delicious the food was.“

“Long post ahead, warning! I walked in around 9 pm and the hostess didn't bat an eye at my dining alone, and didn't say anything about it, which I appreciate. I was seated right away with no problems and immediately got a chance to look over the menu. I will admit, it took a little bit longer than expected for my waiter to come over, but as a lone diner I sort of expected that. I looked like I was waiting for someone, I'm sure. The look and feel of the place was very upscale, but they didn't have any problems with me walking in wearing a nerdy t-shirt. I was seated in this cute little booth for 2 with curtains on the side so, if I wanted a more private dinner, I could have it. It was a cute touch! The restaurant also offered patio dining and since it's by the creek, that would have been a downright charming experience were it not the usual Maryland summer. Despite having a bar, the restaurant was respectably quiet and low-key, making it an easy dining experience. I wasn't in the mood for something wild, and this place really hit the nail on the head. My first waiter Kevin, however, was the picture of polite helpfulness. He answered all of my questions, made some wonderful suggestions, and was incredibly pleasant to talk to. I was delighted to find out that this place takes part in DC restaurant week, so I was able to take part in that promotion. Under a suggestion from Kevin, I ordered a glass of their moscato (I wanted something light and sweet), and the wine was so good I brought home a whole bottle. Not really on them, but it does reflect their excellent selection. Dinner itself was delicious. The red pepper soup was refreshing and flavorful, without being too filling. The steak I ordered was cooked to perfection and was flavored in the perfect way to make the actual flavor of the meat shine. The potatoes were both light and fluffy, but also had the little chunks of potato that I prefer in my mashed. The best part was desert. About halfway through my appetizer, Kevin introduced my other waiter, Maddy, who took over after he went home. She was as much of a delight as he was, and made possibly the best recommendation of the night. Desert was this blackberry tart that I did not have room for but could not put down. Gooey and crumbly all at once, with a warm center that was almost caramel-y even though it was fruit based. Topped with a light cream to balance it all out, it was absolutely delicious. I will be thinking of that tart all day tomorrow. The prices on the menu were a little high, but I wouldn't go so far to say they were unreasonable. If I had wanted a cheaper option, I could have gone to any chain restaurant ever. In the grand scheme of downtown Frederick, with it's many small businesses and one of a kind dining experiences, I think this was reasonable. For reference, a lot of meals were between $20 and $30, but a good steak is almost always $30+. Despite the price, I had an exceptional dining experience, and would 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for upscale dining, without the upscale requirements.“

“The food and wine are always outstanding and the hospitality is inviting, warm, and professional. Echelon is a staple for us when visiting RVA. Their Leesburg location is just as wonderful. Highly recommended for wine and appetizers if you’re on the go, or a relaxing and leisurely dinner if you have time to dine. We’ve tried an array of menu items and have swooned over each one. Book a table or grab a seat at the bar and try for yourself!“

“I recently hosted a rehearsal dinner at the Party Bar and couldn’t have been happier with the experience. I opted for a bar buyout to make it a private event, and Dana, the events manager, was fantastic to work with. She was incredibly detailed, communicative, and accommodating—especially helpful since I was planning from out of town. On the night of the dinner, our bartenders—Carter, Tyler, and Chris—were outstanding. Not only did they provide excellent service, but they also ensured the buffet stayed stocked throughout the entire three-hour event. Carter even set out to-go boxes at the end of the night so guests could take leftovers home, ensuring nothing went to waste. Everyone raved about the food, and the space was more spacious than I expected. By rearranging the tables, I was able to comfortably seat all 65 guests. I highly recommend the Party Bar for any event or just a fun night out with great food, drinks, and service!“

“I’m beginning my study abroad journey to Spain, and during my layover, I had the loveliest experience at Vino Volo thanks to James! He was incredibly personable, making us feel so welcomed from the start. James thoughtfully recommended Spain wine flights (the perfect way to kick off our trip!) and even took the cutest photos of me and my study abroad mate, Denisse. It truly felt like a chic, cozy send-off before our big adventure. Thank you, James, for creating such a memorable start to our travels — you made our layover feel like a celebration!“

“Fantastic hidden gem that delivers amazing wines at tremendous prices! They always have any wine or expertise I need. This is my absolute favorite place to dine out or pick up a bottle for later.“

“Here is why I it went from 3 stars to 5 stars experience. I believe in working things out before posting feedback online . So after a mediocre experience I chose to escalate it to the manager on duty (Karen) and I can say that she went above and beyond to make sure things were corrected and we’ve been taken care of for anything negative I went through. Truly great manager who’s customer centric and she’s looked at long term wins rather than short term. Thanks again Carrie.“

“1st time here today. Excellent food and excellent wine and beer. We were here for my fiancé friend going away event.“

“Food was delicious We ordered grilled eel calamari, pork katsu it was all good“

“I came here for breakfast while staying at the Hilton. It was a great experience. The service was top notch and quick. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was exactly what I was looking for. The açaí bowl was fresh and a very large portion. The side of bacon was fresh, crispy and hot. I'd highly recommend if you need a good quick breakfast.“

“Great Friday open mic, cool spot with friendly staff! Chicken tenders are hand-cut and breaded, too!“

“This is a friendly and welcoming place managed by wonderful owners who care about customers. When our family went we had these jajamyung noodles and they were so soft and delicious. Main courses like tang soo yuk was well marinated and great to taste. The chef is skilled and the staff is kind. Give this place a try as the pricing is also fair as well.“
