“Excellent dinner and drinks.“

“Umami 😌🤌🏻🤏🏻 every single dishes is great! The sushi was spot on!! 🍣🍜🍱 Plus first time trying “A5 Wagyu” num num num exceptional service from Thai employees!! I’m so proud of them! He asked me is it my first time here? So Yes! Then he started recommending all of those signature dishes which I was gonna ask him since the first place but he did a very good job beginning with that! Plus he was genuinely kindhearted and care for his guests. The chef(I guess)also delivered food by himself with A5 Wagyu and other stuffs for you! The music also made it a lot more enjoyable! Impressive! Gotta go back!!“

“ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. If you’re even thinking about trying Ned’s New England Deck, just go! You won’t regret it. The owner, Steve, is so personable and you can tell he genuinely cares about his business. He made an effort to talk to us (even our 4-year-old), which was really sweet and made the whole experience feel more personal. I also loved how he hyped up his staff, you can tell they’re appreciated. The food though… wow. The brown butter lobster roll was seriously amazing! The soft, flavorful bread and the lobster was so buttery and sweet. I’ve had lobster rolls before (even at the beach), and this one honestly beats them. The fried fish melts in your mouth and the truffle fries are addicting. My family and I left so impressed. The food was incredible, and Steve’s kindness just made it even better. He even shared how to make one of their sauces at home, which was such a nice gesture. So again, thank you Steve and staff for an amazing dinner & becoming our go-to seafood spot. We can’t wait to try more and checkout the playroom upstairs!“

“Simply the best hotel I ever stayed“

“My server was bartender Luna, who is a charming young lady, who takes care of her customer's needs, constantly on top of what is going on and checking to make sure everything is OK. Soft Drinks are refilled quickly and she always makes great food and drink suggestions. It is worth returning, not only for the good food and massive (alcoholic) drink selection, but especially for her service and attention. One of the best bartenders ever.“

“So delish! One of Dupont’s many hidden gems.“

“The best NY pizza in this town for sure! Simply divine with a perfect crust. Love Tony’s �🩷��“

“Great atmosphere great people awesome host!!“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“We visited this restaurant to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was a wonderful experience! The food was outstanding, and the service was exceptional. The restaurant has a beautiful, elegant atmosphere that makes it perfect for a special occasion. Our server, Reeya, was especially nice, friendly, and attentive, which made our evening even more enjoyable.
We truly enjoyed our experience and would definitely love to come back again. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious food, excellent service, and a fancy dining atmosphere!“

“The restaurant is surrounded by nature. The staff is friendly, polite, and professional. The menu offers high-quality and original "fine dining" dishes.“

“This is a great venue. I love seeing the century old pre power tool construction techniques (and without nails or screws!), and every seat is close to the stage. There are only a few seats in the balcony where the view is partially blocked by support columns.“

“We've dined at Patsy's American on several occasions and consistently appreciate the quality, service and atmosphere.“

“Always great food no matter when we go! And service is usually on point. After the first year of hype, we've never had a problem doing a walk-in and being seated without waiting more than five-ish minutes. However, I'd still recommend doing a reservation because you can pick your dining experience that way since Ellie Bird certainly has 4 zones of vibe. There is the bar, which has the most attentive service and I actually prefer it on weeknights, but it bumps into the waiting area and they don't really separate the two, so we've had weekend patrons reach between us while dining to order drinks while they wait for a table. The front dining room is buzzy, on theme, and what you probably are expecting if you haven't been here yet, but frequently need a reservation to get seated here. The kitchen counter seating is an interesting experience if you've never done something like that, but each time we've been there, the service has not been as attentative as the other zones. Finally there is the back dining room, which is where you are likely to get seated as a walk-in, especially on a relatively busy night. Don't fret, the food and service are just as good as the front room, but the ambiance is totally different. It feels like a lower tier restaurant back there.“

“Highly recommend the Heirloom Burger for any burger-lovers. Delicious.“

“the food, the service and the drinks are all amazing. loved the decor as well. it is pricey but very shareable. Matt K. was the best server. Made us laugh and had a blast.“

“Amazing gluten free food. Delicious. I thought I would never have onion rings again“

“Every dish, side, appetizer, and dessert we ordered was absolutely delicious. The staff was very friendly and helpful, too. We enjoyed the music videos playing on the big screen - it made for a fun and lively atmosphere. We've ordered takeout from here for years and now I'm mad at myself for only dining in for the first time now. We will be back!“

“Great food and ambience, you can tell the quality of the restaurant by its excellent ingredients and taste not to mention the service and friendly bar tender (Mer), A must try if you’re in Tyson’s Boro neighborhood.. will definitely be regulars here .“

“Outstanding restaurant & bar inside the Embassy Suites. First off, their breakfast offering is beyond reproach. Great entrees & service. The dinners are also fantastic. It's a great feeling to have a restaurant in your hotel where you can have a great meal, a few drinks & zero worries. Their breakfast is from 6 am - 9 am on weekdays & 7 am - 10 am on the weekends. They also offer an evening social hour. If you're a guest of Embassy Suites their room service hours are 11 am to 11 pm, everyday including weekends.“

“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 love the quality of food the drink where amazing I definitely recommend this place.“

“Stopped by Open Road for a couple of drinks with friends and had a great time. The service was friendly, the drinks were cold, and they had a solid selection of local Virginia whiskey. The atmosphere is awesome and makes it a great spot to hang out and catch up. I did not get a chance to try the food this time, but I will definitely be back!“

“Beautiful place, inviting and warm, felt like dining in a Paris restaurant. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful ambience and great service by our server. The menu items were also great. We had the chicken and beef tortellini and some tasty appetizers. A bit on the pricey side but great for an anniversary or birthday celebration. Or even going there with co-workers.“

“Excellent food and gentle people . Very cozy place to be with your loved ones.“

“Overall, the food was good, but there were a few areas that could have been better. The duck was very different from what we expected. We initially thought it would be a whole duck served with lavender, but it arrived as just two slices per person. While I appreciate the time and effort that goes into preparing the dish, I think the menu should provide a clearer description of what guests will actually receive. The flavor was also quite strong, even for someone who enjoys duck.

The service was less attentive than expected, and since we were celebrating a birthday, we were hoping for a little more acknowledgment. The restaurant did provide a birthday card, which was a nice gesture, but there was nothing else special for the occasion.

On the positive side, I really enjoyed the salad and the side dishes we ordered. Overall, it was a good dining experience, but the food presentation, service, and birthday experience could have been better.“

“Great food. Great people fun place to have great good with fun people“

“Great Thai Food in NOVA. I really enjoyed Burapa Thai. The food was great .“
