New American Restaurants near Falls Church, VA

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

“What a special place to have a meal! Fantastic food and service. Fair pricing and simply exquisite food for dinner or weekend brunch. Staff is really knowledgeable and kind, always love coming to this restaurant. Also, it’s nice that it is a well lit dining area and not too loud to have conversations in. Great spot.“

“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.“

“Excellent customer service delicious food“

“Me and my husband had the most amazing time. You can tell they care about you and your experience. We have ordered the restaurant week menu and it didn't disappoint. This place restored my hope for DC restaurants. Hidden gem and i want them to stay that way. Not everyone have good taste Humberto was amazing, so as the owner. Very genuine and humble. Honestly i cannot pinpoint which course was the best. What i know for sure is the steak was so unforgettable . Next time i am gonna go all out and try their tasting menu. Thank you for keeping up the amazing work . Raven and Alan“

“We ladies have been meeting once a month at various restaurants for over 10 years and we always enjoy Seasons 52 and we decided this visit to come back again next month for lunch. Everything is outstanding and has always been. Sean, our waiter, had the patience of a saint with we little ole ladies.“

“FireFly continues to prove why it’s one of my favorite dining experiences. From the moment you walk through the door, the staff sets the tone with warm, personalized service. The greeting is genuine, attentive, and immediate and that same level of care carries throughout the entire visit.

Customer service is truly exceptional here. Servers check in at all the right times, ensure everything is to your liking, and make you feel valued as a guest without being intrusive. It’s rare to find hospitality executed this consistently.

The food remains outstanding flavorful, well-prepared, and reliable. FireFly is, without exaggeration, a 20 out of 10. It never misses.

Yesterday’s experience was no different: amazing from start to finish. This is a restaurant that understands service, quality, and consistency. Highly recommend.“

“I had the absolute best experience at my birthday brunch thanks to our amazing waiter, Pablo! He went above and beyond to make the day feel extra special — from his kind attitude to his incredible attention to detail. He was so attentive, friendly, and genuinely made us feel welcomed and celebrated. I truly appreciate the great service, and I highly recommend anyone dining here to ask for Pablo if you can. He really made the whole experience unforgettable!“

“Start to finish our experience was excellent. When we arrived for our reservation time we needed to add two more people. They were kind enough to accommodate us even though they were busy. Our server Patrick was terrific. He made food suggestions that were spot on. He kept checking on us throughout the brunch. Food came out of the kitchen quickly. Everything was delicious and everyone in my large group was super happy. So few places can accommodate a large group and make all these things happen. I can't say enough good things about Patrick except I will be asking for him next time.“

“excellent service, good food, worth every penny“

“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.“

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

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

“Compliments to the Chef. The Michelin star is so deserved. The setting in pics seems strange but please trust the staff and the kitchen, EAT HERE. We Loved it. Try the Marrow starter and if you are from IRL or the UK the beans and pork belly is next level. BRAVO“

“I had the Persian bowl ( or something
Like it) and the mushroom soup. Sorry I can’t provide pics cause I wanted to enjoy the full experience. Both plates excelled in presentation and flavors. They blew my mind; specially the mushroom soup. It was amazing! I also like that the Persian bowl was a feature by an Iranian chef recently arrived to the country. The ambience and service were outstanding as well. And I loved that I could, for once, speak Spanish without feeling intimidated.“

“Nice atmosphere . Troy was a great host/server.“

“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 :)“

“Rania is a true culinary experience and one of the best meals I have had in DC. We opted for the 4 course tasting menu where there was a good variety of dishes to choose from for each course. Every single course was excellent especially the shrimp, lamb cheela, and beef short ribs nihari! Service equally good with no rushing between courses and just enough attention to feel like a special dining experience but not suffocating. Would recommend to anyone for a special evening!“

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

“For lunch, I ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad, featuring fresh tuna sashimi served with seaweed salad, avocado, arugula, and shrimp roe, all drizzled with a savory sauce and topped with refreshing diced cucumber. The dish was absolutely perfect!

My partner ordered the Maui Pineapple Chicken, which was also quite delicious. The dining environment was very comfortable, and the staff were friendly. Highly recommended!“

“On Friday night, 8 coworkers met up for dinner. Service was attentive. I ordered the jambalaya with rice. It came out with a large amount of white rice which was not in portion to the seafood/sauce and I was disappointed that no other side such as bread/cornbread came with it. It was just ok and not too spicy and the rice was between nutty & mushy. I've eaten here several times and will do so again but didn't enjoy this dish.“

“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. ❤💯“

“This was an impromptu drop in and we were pleasantly surprised! They were super busy and we didn't have a reservation. The weather was amazing so we decided to eat outside. The waiter was courteous and prompt. The food was good! The Hibiscuss Citrus drink was the star of this story. We would like to come again!“

“This was my first visit to this restaurant. I went because they participated in DC’s Restaurant Week for lunch. I chose it among many other restaurants because the lunch menu choices looked great. In fact, all three courses were delicious. I went as a solo female diner. I had asked my waiter when he took my order to leave the menu so I could decide on a drink later. My waiter never returned to take my drink order. I decided to forego having a glass of wine (since no waiter returned) and just have coffee with the dessert. However, not one waiter looked at me for the 5 minutes my hand was up. The table of 4 next to me did get wonderful attention by waiters. For me, however, no one asked me how my meal was. I finally flagged down a runner to order a coffee.

I was also disappointed that there was a credit card charge. I looked at their website when I returned home and never found text mentioning that extra charge. How can customers make an informed decision to bring cash if we don’t know about a credit card surcharge beforehand? It really is uncommon for DC customers to carry large amounts of cash these days. I recommend the restaurant rectify this.“

“Great with food allergies/dietary restrictions and super accommodating. Highly suggest!“

“I love this place! Great steak and fries as well as delicious salad and bread. The service is also consistently excellent. Today I ordered a door dash pick up which was accidentally sent to the DC location. The Bethesda manager was super helpful and accommodating and they actually helped me out and switched the order! Love this place and will definitely be back!!!!“

“The manager went above and beyond! I requested almond milk for my latte and they didn’t have any so she walked down the street and bought some 😊. The service was awesome and the food was phenomenal.“

“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.“

“Best margarita I’ve ever had!!
Our bartender, Reefa, recommended a couple different tequilas and ended up serving us a few dangerously delicious mango margaritas. We felt well taken care of and attended to even with how busy it was, and left impressed with the level of service in a packed bar. Safe to say, we’ll be back very soon“

“Great foods and great service.“

“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.“

“My wife and I recently had an amazing experience at Jônt. The whole thing, from the counter seating and loud music, to the phenomenal staff I 10/10 recommend. The food was unique and so fun to try. Every bite may not be a hit for everyone, but like i said it’s fun to try.“
