36 Best Wine Bars near Fairfax

“Excellent food and wine!! Highly recommend Monday mussel nights (3 different flavors!) - our favorite was the blue cheese one. While we had no reservation, we were accommodated on the patio and received wonderful service. The French wine was perfect for a hot summer night. We’ll definitely be back! The pommes frites with basil aioli was perfect as an appetizer. The duck special was my personal favorite.“

“Simply the best hotel I ever stayed“

“We love the Capital Grille. It is such a and welcoming place, and the food is delicious. Best of all is the service. We always look forward to being served by Shayla. She is absolutely fabulous - so delightful and efficient, and she always makes our visits special.“

“stopped by here for lunch since i drive by all the time. i was highly impressed. it’s a small shop but the food it’s incredible. i think it was the owner who helped me out he was very friendly and made everyone coming in smile and laugh.

now for the food: i got the reuben and it honestly was the best one ive ever had. the bread was soft while the edges were crisp. and it had alotttt of filling. it was a messy sandwich but i’d get it again and again. also got a side of fries and putting the fries inside the sandwich was honestly really good too.
the desserts looked really good so i couldn’t resist i ended up getting a hazelnut mouse. oh my god. it was really good it reminded me of a ferrero rocher but it wasn’t crunchy it was incredibly smooth and silky.
the verdict is i highly recommend this spot, they also have wine to sip and non alcoholic drinks as well. i definitely will be coming back soon for another lunch.“

“This place was incredible. The service was excellent and everyone was super friendly. The servers were knowledgeable about the food and the drinks and were able to make recommendations when asked for them. On top of the food, we tried 3 different alcoholic beverages, their seasonal white, a sparkling rose, and limoncello. Each was incredible and paired great with the food. The entrees were really flavorful and unique and the desserts were perfectly balanced. Special shoutout to our waiter Angel for being incredbly kind and friendly! He really made our experience better.“

“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.“

“Our meal was fabulous! Best restaurant meal we have had in years. Steaks were buttery tender. Our Chopped Salad was divine with such a tasty mix of flavors and textures! Bread was crusty and hot served with lots of butter. The service was attentive but unobtrusive. The cheesecake at the end was unlike any we had ever had. Truly to die for! It was well worth the 2 hour drive!“

“Adrian is the absolute best bartender Ingle Korean steakhouse can have. He was so respectful but yet so chill. I was able to enjoy my night out. This is my first time here and he recommended me the Galbi fried rice. Which didn’t disappoint. Shout out to the chefs in the back! Enjoyed the meal and the service I’ve had tonight. Definitely coming back. Spading the good news here 🤙🙌“

“❤️ Neutral Ground Bar & Kitchen“

“Great beers and delicious locally sourced foods“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Double cabernet burger is the best!!!! Cabernet smothered patties, white cheddar cheese, caramelized onions, worcestershire mayo, tomato, potato bun with crispy fingerling potatos on the side. #foodbuster #burgerkingthings #doyoubelieve I DO!!!!!“

“We always love spending time with our friends at Capital Grille! Todd, Angela, Marco, May-Tai, Nicoah, Jose, Ernesto and the entire team are absolutely wonderful. Their warm hospitality, outstanding service, and attention to every detail make every visit feel special. Thank you all for consistently creating such an amazing dining experience, we always look forward to coming back!“

“We stay at this Ritz-Carlton location from time to time, and Entyse is a focal point of those visits. It’s an all-day operation, and indeed the only dining option on-property. The bartenders and wait staff are highly attentive, personable, and quick to remember your preferences. There’s usually a decent crowd, and on weekends there’s live music ranging from jazz piano to a classic hits band.

While it is definitely a lounge first and a restaurant second, there is a decently extensive menu for each breakfast, lunch and dinner with a number of tempting options. There’s also a bar menu that’s served all day and until midnight daily, which is a godsend for the weary traveler arriving late in the evening.

So many places close early in this post-Covid era that it’s great to see a proper hotel bar open late nightly.

Oh, and if you’re a wine person like I am, you’ll certainly enjoy the 25+ options offered by the glass. Although we are guests of the hotel, it’s easy to see why so many locals frequent this lounge too.“

“Doesn't disappoint from walking in to finished meal. Classic Italian, top notch service, worth every dollar spent.“

“As a South Indian, I’m pretty picky about biryani, and this is hands down the best Mughlai biryani I’ve had in the United States. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and you don't get sick after few bites. Great ambiance, amazing food. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“They allow you to get a full meal with room for dessert which are small but mighty. The food presentation is on point. Highly versatile spot: date night, girls night, or a group of your best friends or potential clients. Hands down, worth a return trip.“

“Delicious Food, Divine Wine, Lovely Evening! We shared appetizers, desserts & wine while we visited this wonderful restaurant!“

“We were completely and pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. They were a bit understaffed but that seems to be a challenge many restaurants are experiencing. Our server was attentive and friendly. The salmon was delicious, the Wagyu burger as well. The wings were flavorful but not overwhelmingly hot. But the highlight were the French fries. Probably the best we’ve had.“

“I love the tapas. They have great Spanish menus and some vegan choices too! Must try: cauliflower and eggplant, and beets for vegans. Spanish: flan is so good, patatas bravas, salmon with kale, Espanola torta, beef empanada.“

“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. 🤤“

“Love Corsica so much! Joe is the perfect bartender great mix of pleasant personality, sense of humor and comfortability behind the bar. Very easy vibe and amazing drinks and food. Nicolas is the sweetest server with such positive energy. One of the best additions to RTC in a long time. Bolognese, lemon bucatini, mushrooms, meatballs and arancini are favorites. The frozen Citron Sunrise does the trick on a hot summer day.“

“Nicely decorated steakhouse. We went there to celebrate our anniversary. Our table was nicely decorated with anniversary decor. Our waiter, Reda (not sure of spelling) was wonderful and the service was excellent. Their sourdough bread with whipped butter was very tasty. We ordered the wet age rib eye, the prime rib, brussel sprouts and french fries. Everything was cooked to perfection. The portion of the sides was more than enough for two people. The chocolate souffle was the perfect ending to our meal. Their prices are comparable to other steakhouses in the area and would definitely visit again. They have valet parking and the also validate parking in the garage.“

“The experience was phenomenal. We loved it. Alexa made us feel special on our anniversary. We loved the anniversary card, that was a sweet touch. The ambiance was wonderful and the food was superb! Every single plate/portion brought out was extremely well presented and top notch. We are very happy we chose to celebrate here. I have no constructive feedback, only praise. Thank you.“

“Great food and service. Definitely worth your time and money“

“I wish I discovered this restaurant sooner. Amazing menu! Pho Chateau is way more than just pho. Great service! Great atmosphere! The best Vietnamese restaurant I’ve been to! Do yourself a favor and visit. It will not disappoint.“

“Today my husband and I had the opportunity to dine at Fleming. The staff was AMAZING! Matt, the manager was on top of every request, need, and want. As soon as anyone in the restaurant needed anything, we witnessed him assisting the service staff to make sure that it was done immediately. He is the type of manager that people dream of! Wish he were on my team. Luis was our server and was great! He was on top of our every need, was attentive, and easily on of the best servers I've ever had. To round out the team, Juan was behind Luis with any additional support that we needed. Quiet professional with great service; Quick, fast, and in a hurry. The ambiance of the restaurant is hard to find in DC. It was quiet enough for a one on one conversation, but energetic enough to make sure that we were not bored. The food was top notch! My stomach hurts because I should have tapped out 15 minutes ago but the food was too good to stop. I'd recommend the Leviathan wine and tomahawk steak. We are big eaters and could not finish our salads and soup, steak, or desserts! My husband highly recommends the French onion soup, Mac and cheese, and Brussels sprouts. Overall the service, ambiance, food, and staff were wayyyyyy more than we expected. We look forward to patronizing this location again. I wish I had pics, but we ate too fast.“

“One of my two favorite restaurants to celebrate big occasions, all occasions, and it did not disappoint. Nine of us had the BEST time last eve celebrating husband's 78th bday! Absolutely impeccable service (Paul you are the BEST!), your leadership and kindness Sierra are so appreciated and respected, and to the Chef, EVERYTHING was superbly delicious!!! Thank you ALL for helping make last eve such a fantastic and memorable eve🥂“

“awesome stuff was awesome good wine love ronin“

“Wow factor Amazing place to relax and work Good eats fresh drinks“

“I hosted a friend’s birthday party at ShipGarten and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From start to finish, the staff was absolutely amazing. They made the entire planning process easy and stress-free, with clear, quick, and efficient communication every step of the way. They were incredibly accommodating. The food was great, my favorites were the funnel cake fries and the guacamole. The Cider was delicious!!! The venue itself is fantastic for hosting events, and I highly recommend ShipGarten for birthdays, gatherings, or any special occasion. One of the things I love most is that they also host dog-friendly events, which makes the place even more special! I had an amazing time and will absolutely be using ShipGarten for future events!!!“

“Good place to go with friends.“

“Located in the Doubletree Hotel, the Cardinal Lounge was perfect for us to have a nice dinner before flying out the next day. Fish and Chips and the Burger were more than enough for us to eat and the bartender was very helpful with questions we had about the menu.“

“GREAT EXPERINCE! We went with a party of 8 with a saturday night reservation, and were seated within minutes of our 7:30 res. My husband and I shared the Tomahawk steak and had the presentation of this steak was amazing. everyone enjoyed their meal and the atmosphere!“

“I wanted to say that I have been several times over the years. Although things are a little pricey they are always well done and delicious. In addition, I wanted to give a special shout out to Nicki who is a ray of sunshine and always goes the extra mile to ensure that customers are taken care of. To finish, the lavender lattes are a particular favorite of mine and the tempura crab cakes I had most recently were really divine. 4.75 stars“
