New American Restaurants near Falls Church, VA

“Very satisfied on my first visit to Ellie Bird. We came for Brunch for my wife’s birthday. The staff were all very attentive and many wished her a happy birthday as they welcomed us in, which often gets overlooked at other restaurants, but it made her morning feel so much more special. It may seem like a small notion, but it was a touching detail to our initial visit. The brunch menu is small but packed with flavors and meaningful dishes. We love this and wish we could try it all. We decided to start with the PB&J French toast as a shared app. It’s an entree item, but upon hearing how much the owner loves this item we had to try it out. We also ordered the Pineapple Bun sliders and Tornado omelette. For us the trio of entrees was the perfect blend of savory, sweet, and salty, hitting all the right notes. Also highly recommend the Ellie Bird Latte. Glad we came, we will be back for more!“

“I had the privilege of experiencing the Chefs Tasting at 2941 Restaurant last night. The five-course tasting journey, paired with exquisite food and wine, along with beautiful surroundings and a vibrant atmosphere, turned the evening into a memorable adventure and culinary delight. If you seek to awaken your taste buds and embark on a magical journey, this extraordinary destination in the DMA area and North America awaits you.“

“Excellent customer service delicious food“

“This place is a true local gem. Food is of very high quality, and everything is consistently cooked to perfection. Their consistency is actually really impressive - I’ve never been disappointed by a single thing, and I’ve eaten A LOT of their food. But everything is so good, so I haven’t really made my way outside of the same few items from their menu. The difference is that the staff actually care about their customers, and take pride in their food. It’s not so common these days, and is a pleasant surprise. It’s the reason I will always eat there.“

“Good food and great service from Yodi“

The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is casual and easygoing. Definitely a place I’d hit up again for a quick bite or a chill night out.“

“I normally don’t eat Burgers but I stopped by this location and Mr Faddi persuaded me to try his special creation. I was very impressed it was very tasty. It was a steak and Cheese made from love. I can’t wait to try it again… thank you again Mr Faddi“

“Our son lives in the area and we have been here 4-5 since January ( every time we visit) The owners are wonderful and the staff very attentive The fish taco appetizer is wonderful ( can be enough for an entree if not wanted a big meal) I’ve had many of the entrees and never a bad meal . The chocolate dessert is my go to“

“I always choose Seasons 52 for any large group gatherings in the area. Their team consistently works together seamlessly, the service is smooth, and the food is always excellent. The pricing is also far better than most options in Tysons Mall. Keep up the great work, Seasons 52!“

“My wife and I had brunch on the patio at the White House location today and it was fantastic! We had a mezze platter appetizer, Havana sandwich and shakshuka & arepas entrees, and tres leches for dessert. All were spectacular, as was the service! Highly recommended!“

“Outstanding in dining experience. I then had Mazi prepare a platter of meatballs for a House Parry that was a major hit ! A new go to restaurant in DC“

“All of the staff were super friendly. We definitely felt under dressed. I got the eggs Benedict with Smoked Salmon. There wasn't much hollandaise sauce, so it was a bit dry and the Smoked Salmon was strong. Their potatoes and veggies needed seasoning. My daughter enjoyed her french toast. For basic Brunch, it was pricey. Not everything they offer is on the menu, we had to ask about juice and coffee.“

“Delicious food and great ipa on tap“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“5 stars isn't enough!! From the moment we walked in until the end of our night we were satisfied. The decorations, food, and service was amazing! They even offered me a quiet place to pray :). Give this place a try-trust me (portions may seem small, but it was very filling- we ordered the bowl of fries, which came with a delicious sauce, CROQUETTES, fish burger, beef burger, and gnocchi pomodoro. It felt like we were in nyc enjoy :)“

“Leyla was awesome. She has a great personality and was very knowledgeable of the menu. She greeted us in a timely manner & kept us informed of changes in service and who was assisting her during her brief absence. Customer service was great. Fintin was great as well.. attentive, friendly and great customer service. This was one of our best experiences at Yard House. Thank you Leyla & Fintin.“

“The advocado toast was generously loaded with fresh advocado and hierloom grape tomatoes on top of nicely toasted sourdough bread. The coffee was hot and fresh. The service was friendly and prompt. The dining area was spacious and peaceful.“

“Genuinely blown away. Don't get me wrong I love all food, but I wouldn't say I'm easily impressed since most restaurants are just decent but this was truly great food and the service was phenomenal. You can really tell a lot of time and thought is put into each dish. We will be back!!!“

“Black Salt is a true neighborhood gem. I work nearby and having been dining there for over 20 years. After all this time, I still consider every visit to be a special event whether it is for lunch, happy hour or dinner. The menu is fantastic. The food is always fresh and well prepared. The service is always impeccable. And I am always made to feel welcomed and appreciated. I will be back again soon.“

“Mya is such an amazing bartender at Yard House! She’s super attentive, friendly, and always makes sure everyone feels welcome. Her drinks are not only delicious but also made with care and consistency. Whether it’s a busy night or a casual evening, she brings great energy and professionalism every time. Definitely recommend sitting at her bar if you get the chance!”“

“From the moment we stepped through the doors of Jula's on the Potomac, we knew we were in for a special experience. Everyone's dish was a masterstroke. From start to finish, Jula's on the Potomac delivered an experience that was thoughtful, refined, and full of heart. It’s the kind of place that turns a dinner into a memory. Five stars without hesitation. My wife will never forget her 50th Birthday celebration brunch. Bishop Avery Kinney Sr. will be back—and bringing everyone he knows. It was worth the drive from Richmond. ❤💯“

“Incredible restaurant that puts elevated care, attention to detail, and quality ingredients front and center.

Unpretentious in austere but refined in the approach to your hospitality experience, this gem nestled in the heart of AdMo is a must-see for all hungry foodies in the area.

My experience with Imani and Amina will be the reason I return and tell my friends to go. Their storytelling, command of the menu, and easy approach to creating an elevated dining experience did not go unnoticed.

Meatball and porkchop were a hit in tenderness and flavor, while the cabbage and pudding were a hit in dynamics and design. Major shout out to Amina for bringing over the perfect wine pairing to complement our porkchop—on the house.

These moments create the fine dining experience and make the price point worthwhile.“

“We had an excellent experience at Medium Rare. The staff was extremely attentive, the food was delicious. It was fresh, hot and generous portions- both times! The servers were particularly were extremely aware of dietary restrictions and even comped us two glasses of champagne as we were celebrating an anniversary. Because of how thoughtful and professional everyone at Medium Rare is, it is a favorite place for celebrations - or just because we want to.“

“Excellent dinner: Moules Marinières and Salade Niçoise and an inexpensive and tasty Bordeaux.“

“We had a great dinner here! It wasn't too crowded, so the atmosphere was really chill and relaxed. The restaurant itself is comfortable and cool. Since the food is 100% fresh, it takes a little extra time to prepare, but it's totally worth it. Our server, Alex, was fantastic—so kind and gave us the best recommendations. He even helped us with our bags! You have to try the pork chop and the rigatoni. We'll definitely be back.“

“My friend and I had the most delightful dining experience last night at Opal, all thanks to the exceptional service provided by Neariah. We are regular patrons of this restaurant, and Neariah truly stands out as one of a kind.

Her warm and welcoming demeanor, coupled with a genuine smile, immediately set the tone for a fantastic evening. Neariah's attentiveness was remarkable - she anticipated our needs before we even had to voice them, making us feel truly valued and cared for throughout our meal.

We have made a mental note to request to be seated in Neariah's section on our future visits, as her exceptional service truly enhances our dining experience. Her professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail are commendable, and we cannot wait to be served by her again.

Neariah is a gem in the hospitality industry, and her dedication to providing top-notch service is truly appreciated. Thank you, Neariah, for making our evening memorable and enjoyable. We look forward to returning and experiencing your exceptional service once more.

Highly recommended - ask to be seated in Neariah's section for a dining experience that exceeds expectations!“

“When we come up from Atlanta to visit family in Alexandria, Aldo’s is a must visit. The service and food are excellent. It is a must visit and multiple occasions for our family. Consistent excellence.“

“The Bulgogi Bowl was one of the BEST meals I have ever had! This was a great place to visit with my friend from Germany who wanted to try something very American, so he got the Buffalo wings. We went on a Sunday afternoon during game time. People were enjoying the games but noise level was still great for being able to have a good conversation.“

“My friend and I made a reservation for 2 on the lounge side and it was a great choice. The restaurant is beautiful, modern architecture and dim lighting. We had a great table with a view of the bar and tv. Out several was amazing, she was attentive and welcomed up since it was our first time there. I appreciate the selection of the non alcoholic menu and the variety - I was impressed. I tried the Strawberry hibiscus mule since she said that was the most popular and it was great! I love the ginger after taste with the lemon soda in it. For food I had the crispy sushi rice, truffle fries and my friend ordered wings. The presentation of the sushi was good and the food was delicious! The give you a good amount of truffle fries you can share for two and the aioli went perfect with it - it had a little zing to it. Sushi was perfection, flavorful and you get a lot, I think it comes with 7-8 pieces. I didn't try the wings but she ate them all so I'm sssuming they were really good. Overall I give this place a 10/10, I highly recommend. There were also couples on dates as well so it seems to be a great place for that too.“

“Exceptional throughout from the rooms to dining to sophisticated and attentive staff - thank you for having us.“

“met some family members this morning for brunch. was seated almost immediately....there was a minor 'glitch' that was had that got the Mgr on duty, (Eric) involved. Eric was Extremely nice and accommodating. We will be returning.....Thank you Eric and staff !“

“My daughter and son-in-law treated me for my birthday and what a treat it was! From the birthday champagne treat to the special popcorn to the dessert and all meals in between—nothing disappointed. The food was delicious. Filet mignon prepared to perfection. Lamb chops, braised beef, shrimp—all delicious. The sides; I could go on. My husband also enjoyed his meal. Our particular teenaged granddaughter loved her chicken tenders. Even our 2 year old granddaughter enjoyed her kids meal. Definitely will return. This was our first time but it won’t be our last. And last but not least—our server, Micaiah, was the best. Her recommendations were on point. Top notch and so professional!“

“Massive selection of beers on tap including cask ales and the friendliest bar staff! Thanks 😊“

“The Sea Bass was a total suprise. More often than not I am dissapointed when I order fish. Not the case here. The presentation was superb. The blend of flavors, textures and colors was an epicurean delight. Our waiter/bartender Damany was thoughtful, always on point without being intrusive. The whole experience was one worth repeating.“

“Amazing Steakhouse ?,,,,!!!!!! Incredibly delicious!!!! Quality in Every Way!!!!“
