35 Best Wine Bars near Fairfax

“Service and ambiance were excellent as usual. Tried the special - NY strip since I love the steak frites and short ribs. Should have stuck with regular menu items. Steak was very rough and a little overcooked for med rare. Still one of our faves in FFX City.“

“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.“

“Stopped in on a whim, in the area and looking for something decent for dinner. Dolce Vita Italian is outstanding, from atmosphere to desert and EVERYTHING in between. We got the chicken marcella and filet tips gnocchi and both were off the hook good, their bread and an oil is also fantastic. The lemon martini and DV & sour drinks were very tasty. To top it all off we felt like we were in an authentic Italian restaurant in Italy and the staff were just fantastic. If in the area this place it’s tops. Yes we left with some chocolate cake to go!“

“We came in for the Sunday happy hour 4-6 P.M. Ordered the fillet sandwich, which was amazing. The meat was tender, cooked perfectly on garlic bread, highly recommend and then we had the carrot cake which was the best carrot cake I’ve literally ever had in my entire life. It was so good. I would come back just for the carrot cake. I’m still thinking about the carrot cake. I wish I could have that carrot cake every day. If they ever need someone to talk about their carrot cake I’m your person, highly recommend that carrot cake.“

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

“❤️ Neutral Ground Bar & Kitchen“

“Great beers and delicious locally sourced foods“

“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 had a wonderful time, we had the Wagyu Burger & Wine special, it was yummy and meat was cooked to perfection! Wine options were tasty. We Celebrated Anniversary, table had little hearts and handwritten note. Service was wonderful! Thank you! Wendy & Brian“

“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.“

“Food, service, and atmosphere were all good. Scallops I had were delicious. Non-sweet iced tea was fine. Asparagus was surprisingly good and crisp. Mashed potatoes were fine. The restaurant interior was nice and clean. The layout was less than ideal. Traveling to bathroom takes you past a semi open kitchen. Just odd.“

“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!“

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

“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. 🤤“

“My husband and I visited here coming back from our honeymoon, and we had a wonderful experience at Corsica! The food was delicious with many vibrant flavors and we especially liked the summer Lemon Bucatini, the Lamb Skewers, spicy cucumbers, and chocolate ganache dessert. Joy, Ian, and Mario were so friendly and attentive - we felt very taken care of and we would love to come back again!“

“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.“

“Booked the private dining area for a post-wedding celebration. The experience far exceeded expectations. Impeccable service. Wonderful ambiance. Heavenly food. Great food and beverage pairings. Highly recommended for a perfect evening.“

“I was there to celebrate my wedding anniversary and 801 was super attentive to that fact. We were greeted with a heart on our table. We were given a complimentary drink to toast the occasion. The food was delicious especially the cream of corn and scallops potatoes. I would recommend this restaurant to others.“

“awesome stuff was awesome good wine love ronin“

“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.“

“After many fabulous visits to this Ruth's Chris, the restaurant seemed to have an off night last evening. In addition to the corporate Tastemaker Dinner, there were several other private dining events competing for the kitchen. The result was steak that did not have that Ruth's Chris sizzle. Plate was hot; steak was not. Other than that, service was impeccable as always, and the wines (and the wine rep) were great! The only other comment concerns the recent renovations, which removed the drapes from the windows in the room where the wine dinner is held and replaced the drapes with material that allowed the sun to shine in people's faces. It was uncomfortable for those facing the windows until the sun got lower.“

“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.“

“Paul was a spectacular server! We never wanted for anything he hadn't already provided. He paced our meal well and was extremely attentive. The chicken and the steak with shrimp were both very tasty and exactly as we expected. The restaurant made us feel special for our 31st anniversary with a decorated table that they had prepared in advance. Thank you for that and not blinking when we showed up as a male couple :-)“

“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!“

“Good place to go with friends.“

“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!!!“

“Located in the Doubletree Hotel, the Cardinal Lounge was perfect for us to have a nice dinner before flying out the next day. The Burger was amazing 👏
Thank you so much for every one
And thanks Mario
Thanks Odette“

“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“
