Restaurants near Clifton

“Clifton Cafe is our new favorite evening spot on the weekends. We’ve been customers since the original owners opened it years ago, but until this past fall we did more to go orders than dine in since the service and time to prep food was often slow and unpredictable. Now we go almost every week. We’ve noticed big improvements since they expanded their kitchen and redesigned the bar area. Their new pull up bar is beautiful and spacious. The new owners and management are great too! We love the evening staff as well, especially Ian and Nicole. They are very personable, accommodating, and attentive. They have great happy hour specials from 3-6 and make the best margaritas and espresso martinis. Some of our favorite dinner items include the crab dip, Mediterranean salad, cuban sandwich, burgers, crab cakes, quiche specials, banana pudding, and too many crepes to name! We also appreciate that they have become more family friendly. We had a last minute party of 14 on a Friday evening (half of which were children ages 1-11) and they didn’t hesitate to pull some tables together in a private nook to accommodate our large group (again thanks to Ian and Nicole). We noticed they finally got a changing table in the large bathroom, which they are about to install. Our kids are past that stage, but there were several times when they were little that a changing table would have been helpful.”

“First-time diners at the Clifton Outback. I haven’t had a bloomin’ onion and kookaburra wings in years, so I enjoyed them again. Service was great: efficient, friendly, warm, yet not intrusive. Eadonay even joined in singing the happy birthday song for me. Nothing beats fun chatter with loved ones while eating food that pleases the palate. We came for the steak and left happy. It was a good evening.”

“Good food except for The onion soup. It was disappointing”

“Great music on a Friday night!”

“Always enjoy ice cream at Peterson’s!”

“I stop here every morning I have time. The bagels are perfect with numerous flavors so everyone can find something they like. I normally order the classic with sausage and have tried 6 different savory bagels, all were great. Highly recommend for a morning stop, or picking up bagels for the office.”

“absolutely EXCELLENT staff, great food with unique options and plenty of seating! I had the breakfast lasagna and I enjoyed every bite, wouldn't change a thing.”

“My friend and I had a wonderful birthday lunch at Sakoonthai. Their food is so delicious, authentic and the place is very clean. I should say their service is amazing. The food prices are very reasonable.
If you’d like Thai food, which I do, try Sakoonthai. You won’t regret taking your friend there.”

“A friend and I meet at Theisman's restaurant for lunch quite often. I live in Alexandria and she lives in Warrenton so it's a great middle point. We both love the food and the hostesses and waitstaff are excellent. The atmosphere is nice.. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the music in there was so loud. We decided to sit on the porch thinking it would be quieter and it was such a beautiful day... unfortunately the music was extremely loud out there too and seemed to increase in volume as we were out there for about 2 hours. I noticed a few other people were saying that it was so loud too. We should have said something to the hostess but we had not seen each other in awhile. Wonderful place, but people do want to be able to talk and hear each other. Hopefully, this will get to the right ears ?”

“Amazing food with plenty of options to eat and drink, surprised how they had boba drinks which are plenty good and well served by Kevin which he is a really great person to talk to while I waiting on my order. Really great establishment in general and love to visit again!”

“Food excellent in quality, preparation, textures, flavors and presentation. The jarring and omnipresent noise (which also bounces) renders the fore-described qualities frustratingly moot - almost. I would dearly love to recommend as well as return and bring friends along but will have to forewarn them as well as brace myself.”

“The food here was delicious and amazing but what made the experience unforgettable was the service! If you are celebrating something special or you just want to have a wonderful dining experience, Bistrol L'hermitage is where you want to be.”

“If you are gluten intolerant this may be the beer for you. I have been gluten intolerant for 13 years now. I used to enjoy a beer here and there. Some of the gluten free ones out there are eh, at best. This beer has a full body taste. I did not have any issues drinking it. Now, that being said if you are gluten intolerant you must know yourself really well. It may not be for you, but than again it may. I am just excited that I had no issues and enjoyed a full tasting beer!”

“service good! vegetables and noodles provided with each shabu set well worth it. very thoughtful with dietary restrictions. a bit confusing at first but very fun”

“The most delicious sandwiches in Fairfax. Plus they are family owned. 😊”

“Delicious food and very friendly and quick service. Their dahi puri, rose faluda, paneer sandwich and Hum tum egg dish is just the best! We will be back for sure, so yummy and fresh! :)”

“The cutes place! Yummy wines and food! Great service!! Highly recommend!”
